Looks like they are still working some bugs out of the dash. It's blank in all the videos.

it is the camera does not pick it up in that light my GoPro does the same thing has to be darker to pick up the digital numbers.

I love the "spin"...like they've been working on this sled for years. "Our engineers" HA! At least call it what it is. I'm sure the thing is awesome and they will sell butt loads...but that is NOT a Yamaha product.

Good to know. Though we were seeing one of the TRF production... um... benefits showing up.
even sounds like a AC lawn mower/tractor. years of engineering that Yamaha has put into it, what a laugh, how stupid do they think we are. 
wow
can't believe that Yamaha couldn't have come up with there own sled chassis, they had to go to AC, really????
hope they have there own engineers sitting at cat when they drop the Yamaha motor in and that they go thru everything with a fine tooth comb. i'm sure it rides nice but damn even the side panels,seat, handle bar controls look like they are interchangeable with Cat. I guess time will tell how well they will be accepted. i can see cat owners trading there cat in for a yamaha if they do get the fit/finish and reliability right.
I'm glad they didn't touch the Apex yet with that ugly AC stick.

Ive been saying for the last year the new Cats are the baddest AZZ looking sleds on snow right now......Now its the Yamaha Viper!
I hope I get a chance to ride one soon. Love my Nytro motor, but the chassis has left a lot to desire. Think thats been taken care of!!
I definitely wish Yamaha could have done this on their own, but this will be the next best thing... mark my words
I hate how you can hear the track in all the videos. the engine sounds kinda like the nytro but you can here the suspension and track just like all cats

Nice Hindle can will take care of that and will be a helluva lot easier to put on than current Nytro.Stone9 said:

i was also thinking being made in america reduces the amount of tariffs so it should be cheaper than a vector? never mind silly me. also is the motor being built in a ac plant nobody is talking about that. that would be a good way to screw up a good motor.
