No need for an all-new sled! The Nytro XTX is still the best sled on the snow. All they need to do is make some simple changes like adding a bigger tank, going back to the clicker shocks, and adding the trail supercharger stock and nothing will touch it across a lake or in the twisties!
Here's a video of my '09 with this setup SMOKING an 800 E-Tec twice. Look close, it hooks up so well you initially think I jump the start, but he moves first both times...

...and only took a supercharger to do it.
So what! Everyone else is coming out with factory turbos etc, why not Yamaha! Add the supercharger into the price and it's still less tnah Doo wants for their sleds.
It's called apples vs oranges dude. You think a new Nytro with a factory super will cost less than a new Doo? Come out west and run a few of the E-techs with aftermarket breathing....see how well the Nytro does. That would be apples to apples.
Who cares about apples to apples? It's about being the best, and the Nytro is already as good or better than any Doo E-tec in the twisty moguls (heck, I outran them all BEFORE the charger)! And now it'll beat them to the first turn as well. Maybe I'll post some of those vids to show how long I wait at the intersections for the Doo's to catch up! Bottom line for me - faster in the open, better in the trails - for where I ride, that means "Best."
Are you riding with a bunch of 80 yr old men riding the etecs?

I've had them all, and believe me when I say them all.. I've had apex's, attak's, fx nytro's, some with superchargers, I've had firecat's, ZR's, F1000's, F1100 turbo, and a lot of skidoo's.. There is no way your Nytro is going to out run an etec through the twisties with equal drivers period..... The Yamaha weighs 70 lbs more and has a higher center of gravity.. They also tend to have a lot of inside ski lift.. Just stating the facts.. I am intrigued by the possibility of a new and improved Nytro with more hp, less weight and a suspension that is actually on par with the others, not a bash, just stating how I feel.. Lord knows I bled blue and white for many many years. Just came to realize that there is better out there currently.. Here's to hoping for a new and improved Yamaha !
