Very interesting points, I can see bringing the Apex/Attak changes to the Vector / venture lines.
I was thinking for the performance trail "Appex/Attak' sleds. Some bold new graphics OH already here, and optional Hp upgrade to 165 - 170hp should fit nicely.
Fixx Powersport non turbo RX motors are reportedly in the 180 or even 190 area. One of his motors won that "Alcan" race and reportedly averaged >115 mph for 150 miles........ not sure on exact details. My point with FI and other internal changes 170 should be in reach. And I think we SLEDCRAZY'S would be interested.

Vector in D-boxII with FI is a given for 07. A third engine (4-stroke twin 800cc) (80-100hp) is also a given. I also expect the chain case to get the heave-ho at least on one model by 08. Yamaha has something in development, I'm sure. Other than that how about something like blade tried:no tunnel just a CF-cast arc rising off the rear bulkhead to support the seat and mount the rearward susp. attachment.

vector gone with new name and dboxII, efi or vector with dboxII and efi. same for rage def. venom gone and 100hp 4stroke entry level. never see a turbo, if they were going to do it, it would have been in the pwcs last year or the year before. i dunno about a 120 kids sled. a 250 would be better, all kids now are jumping from a 120 to a 340, thats a big jump. let the other 3 fight over the 120 while yami can have a 250 to fill the gap

Their next move should be to work on the entry level market. That and a sub 500lb 100ish horsepower ditch banger. It CAN be done. It's not the kind of sled I would want, but I think that the market would be huge for it if they could pull it off.
