06 RTX vs Xp 800R

[pedros1983]

Ran a xp 800R shortie today up on the muskoka lakes and was very impressed with the outcome considering the weight to power ratio. I have 144 1.450's up the middle with exhaust, 23t gear, and 10ek's with full transfer on the skid. Beat him by half a sled in about a mile stretch on 4" of fresh snow on a lake. Hole shot right till the end.How are these things not faster then the apex considering they have more hp and about 100lbs less baggage. These 150 genesis motors rock!! And too add, I absolutley crushed an 08' 600 sdi and 3 mxz renegade 800's 06's with pages full of mods. Yamaha Rules!!

Not sure if the XP 800 is like the Mach Z with some that are not tuned right and off there game. We run into two last year in the U.P.. We run them with an 03 F7 and my 05 RX1. We both beat the xp's. I was very surprised after hearing how light and quick they are. We both pulled the hole shot and never looked back. I do think both these sleds were stock.

Thats pretty incredible to hear. I thought the XP's were the fastest, lightest thing ever released... If you're getting them off the line thats pretty impressive since usually a 2 stroke twin has the advantage off the line. Im impressed...
