Wow whats up with all the hate, its the best of both. I rode rr 800 cat and that thing is unbelivably amazing, you haters out there should at least ride it and then talk

I am reserving judgement until I can ride one at my local dealer later today or tomorrow. I hope that they will let me take a good look at it with the body panels off and give it a good test ride.

I will let you guys know after my test ride / inspection.

Looking under them last night at the show I saw no evidence of full lenghth heat exchangers, looked like a larger radiator and the usual front exchanger

The more I ponder Yamaha's "Supply Agreement", the more I think that the 2014 Cat will NOT have a Nytro motor. If I were in Yamaha's shoes, I would want something to keep brand-loyal Yamaha customers from straying. What makes the most sense IMO, is for Yamaha to get Cat's Procross chassis (with a Nytro powerplant) for one year ... EXCLUSIVELY ... in exchange for what will likely be a variety of YMC motors for use in Cat products (including ATV's and side-by-sides) in the years to come.

Given this scenario, I would expect the 2014 Cats to continue to be built with Suzuki motors. Cat still gets to offer a turbo variety, whereas Yamaha agrees to hold off on any aftermarket or factory SC or turbo models until 2015. This IMO, makes the most sense for Yamaha, as they do not have to worry about folks looking for the same thing (presumably at a better price) from Cat. Meanwhile, Cat's engine supplier woes are resolved in time to meet 2015 production schedules.

Also under this scenario, I would look to Yamaha to bring a vehicle of their own design to market in 2015, as they would then want to offer something that cannot also be had through Cat.

My 2 cents.

Definitely makes sense to me!

RHINO 2014

 

[canadianhunter]

A friend of mine got one priced at $12900 pl tax,cdn

Which one ?

I just heard the spring order deals you get for the viper. 3 year warranty with the option to purchase 2 additional years. They must have faith that they have a good reliable product still. Definately interested, would love to ride one before hand.

All the hype and talk about the new sleds but I think most are forgetting one thing. You all get to order new tools! You need the metric (which we all should have) for any motor or clutching tinkering and then the imperial to make any other adjustments or repairs. Just trying to look for that silver lining in the clouds.

 

[Benwaballs]

They better have good deals on them because if I can get a 1100 turbo for the same or close in price I will be swapping over to AC.

 

[Suckur]

Taking offers on my 165hp 2T 141x2.25" Viper...Includes telecoping handlebars, Japanese motor, mountain seat and a 60 lb weight reduction. PM for details.
Will include a can of Krylon blue for the right price

Sounds like Cat will have the same sled, with different panels - clutches might not be Yamaha, but I've also heard they will have them - just have to wait and see.

If you get a grand off retail & 5 yr warranty, that wouldn't sound bad!!!
