- 2016 RS Vector XTX 1.25 Lug wifes..2013 RS Vector LTX.. 2003 600 VMax Past Machines 3-2007 Attaks 1-2010 Vector LTX.. sorry no Stinkdoos or poo's cats.
might be a smart move. Money wise.. I don't think they are going to be selling lot's of sleds.. Things are tough now..all around.. An election year also.. So make small changes and improve some. Go for it in 2010 as we should be doing better then..
That's if we get a good leader in.

What's the HP of the new Doo 4 stroke?
Just got back from the dealers show in albany ny.Saw all the new ones.The new nitro rtxse is quite a nice sled.They all have a 4 year warranty and you can get a 5 year for 100.00 more.Nice new clothes and some nice new accesories.Some new colores and good graphics.May buy a new nytro we will see about trading in the 07 apexer tomorrow.

Agreed..
They dropped the ball.. and wont sell many sleds..
I bet they didnt even upgrade the handle bar warmers again this year..

I can't believe you would consider a Z1 Cat? They're butt ugly,heavy,expensive,and sound like a International Super M tractor.Grassfirebob said:
Cant say Im surprised because I didnt really expect anything more than the xtx. Not impressed with the bold new graphics on the apex models though. I still like yamaha but Im about 98% sure I'm snowchecking an 800 dragon sp.

i don't like the 09' line up, but i'll stay with my Attak, i couldn't go backwards and go with a 2 smoke again
A little more power on the Apex was all I was looking for!

couple things i like about this season(08) and possibly next season.....I like how max sled confirmed my thoughts and officially recognized the apex as the FASTEST PRODUCTION SLED for 08....yes,it was!....finally since 1992(vmax4 750) yammie had the fastest sled available.
I am not so sure that the cat with 177HP is gonna be faster then the apexs....at least i doubt it will be faster then mine.....time will tell,but I just think we have to wait to see if that big kitty will actually purr...the twin with turbo is bound to have some lag and im sure its heavy,and less aerodynamic for radaring....remember the mach z 1000 had 170hp or so and it is non turbo,and lighter and i know many machs i can beat.....
one another note.....i like the Apex RTX much better for 09 with RED A arms,and not the ugly yellow.....I also see they talk about a rear heat exchanger standard...did the 08 come with one?...i know 06/07 did not.
I am also gonna say that the DOO 4 stroker will be not near as fast as a nytro....JMO here but after seeing how slow the XP 800 is,i cant see their heavier 4 stroke with less HP being very quick..
I have no problem walking away hard from a 800xp with an 860 kit with 175hp.
I think this is why yammie left the 150hp motor alone for 09....i just hope 2010 they keep the motor and just bump the power up....cause this motor rocks.
I also HOPE TO GOD they take the Y pipe issue seriously,and make these damn sleds more reliable for us hi mileage guys....and fix the damn handwarmers finally!....why is it that DOOS with no windshields and no batteries can have their bars get hot and we cant????!!!!!
