If the new sled is a Pro-cross with a Nytro engine I'll be stoked. I couldn't care less where the sled is build, don't give a damn whether the factory is clean or dirty, if it is filled with rednecks wearing sweatpants or Japanese wearing tidy uniforms. All I care about is performance. Cat delivers that. A Cat chassis with a Yamaha motor will be very impressive. I'd have a lot more faith in that sled working well than something new from the ground up pure Yamaha design.
I think there are going to be some disappointed people on the 20th. The speculation and hype is way out of hand.
The reason we buy yamaha is because of the quality. everything is straight, true, precision, and everything fits. and the sled does not fall apart in 2000 miles like cat and polaris. Cats are Junk, the same can not be said for products rolling out of TRF. If we get a re-badged Cat i cant imagine how crooked the yamaha engine will be coming off the production line. oh and drop a few bolts down in the bellypan during assembly and just leave them there.
you will have more faith in an arctic cat working than a yamaha??? wow, what are you smoking....
Exactly. A Yamaha that is a re-badged Cat might sell a few copies in it's first season or two to people who think like the guys who left for another brand, but will slowly sputter out. Since moving to a re-badge means the snowmobile R&D department has been dismantled what happens when the re-badge fails?
If you think Yamaha loyalist were upset last year over the XTX 1.75 release, give us a re-badged Cat built in TRF with missing fasteners, uneven seams, and that powerful Yamaha engine hooked to the worse drive system around and see what happens. The upset Yamafans haven't said much yet because many are hoping for more than an Arctic Cat built re-badge.
If that is what it is... It will fail. I made that bold because it's the truth. Re-badges never stand the test of time especially when one of the main traits of your brand is being thrown out.
Think about it this way... If I wanted an Arctic Cat don't you think I would already be riding one? In fact I rode them for years and left because of the poor quality control... Hmm...
