Well, I spent a couple hours riding the new iron yesterday. Here is what I came away with.
150hp sleds. Basically unchanged from last year with the exception of the expanded GT series and the new skid in the RTX. The GT Attaks were sweeeeeeeet. The shock calibrations felt much better than the 2006 GT, and the adjustment on the bars is awesome. The new RTX flat out rocked. Better weight transfer, and you could really pre-load the suspension before a jump or mogul. Plus it transfered weight better than the Mono. Not quite as plus feeling as the mono, as you could feel the bumps more, but better control in the big junk.
120hp sleds. Again, basically unchanged with the exception of the expanded GT lines. Solid sleds line-up. I forgot how fun the Nytro was until I rode it again.
Phazer sleds. WOW! Those things are a riot! It reminded me of riding a Raptor ATV with a track and skis. Great acceleration and very easy to drive. You could throw it around with ease, and whether standing or sitting, you could rip through the trails. There will be no sled that will stay with this thing in the tight trails. Speedo saw 90 on the lake, so even if it is as optimistic as other Yamahas, it is still an 80+mph sled. No problem running on the lakes, running, not racing. I might get one of these sleds just to have for those nightly rides where you go out exploring or just rippin' up the ditches. This sled really brings a smile to your face. It sounds like a quad or dirt bike, and really feels like own with it's rider position. I can tell you this, I had 2 Phazers when I was younger, and they were a blast. The 2007 Phazer makes that fun I had on the old Phazer seem like a convention of encyclopedia writers. The 2007 Phazeer is a flat out BLAST to ride, even for my 38 year old frame. I can't imagine how much fun the younger generation is going to have on this sled. Polish up your riding skills men, If you run up against a good rider on the trails with this sled, your going to have your hands full no matter what your riding.
