i didn't vote cause i think they wont make that sled....but at the same time i wont be disappointed

Same here ;)!
 
If they make it, won't be a 4-stroke. Just not possible. I don't think they will drop the ball. Yammy's coming out with something new. Just not 450 and 160. My guess under 500 and 140ish.
 
Im not looking for a 160hp /450lbs machine, so I did not vote.

How about a 100hp / 350lbs. That would be more of my taste.
 
don't know how you would build a 180hp 4stroke under 500 lbs. seems like it would have to be a direct injected turbo 2 stroke. the last video I saw the top dog at CAT said all engines both 2 and 4 stroke would be built in house. maybe they bought some engine technology from Yamaha?? its not likely that Yamaha would let CAT build Yamaha engine in their facility. I do think that at some point it is very likely that you will see Yamaha engines in CAT chassis. The partnership already exists with the 120cc sled. CAT definitely has a very good chassis and Yamaha definitely has a very good engine. I think I would buy it if they built it. Guess I will wait till tomorrow to see what comes out. Not holding my breath. :yam: :4STroke:
 
next year
