For all of you saying fake picture or photoshop, that would mean this had to be done by a yamaha employee. Why because I was told that that background is the pleasant prairie yamaha building in the background. What are the odds someone else would have that background to work with? There will be three sleds released. All under a similar chasis design like cat, doo, and poo all do. A 550 (aprox) phaser, one with a 140hp nytro motor, and one with a turbo at 180+hp. Obviously with similar track lengths as cat . Questions on the exhaust make me wonder if they could of done an under tunnel design instead of a front dump. I know there is a rumor of them working on a shorty tunnel heat exchanger for the kit, and controlling the turbo by playing with the timing,etc instead of playing with the low compression that cat does on theirs. All rumors though if they went this way with their new reflash etc

Also for all of you non believers. I think TY knew this a while back. How and why you ask? Look at the new design of our snowmobile emotion
Looks a lot more like the new cat design then any sled before huh. I see photoshop and conspiracy with this. When you zoom in on the you can see it say turbo. Also shows a under tunnel dump,with that smoke pattern

The media stinks. How pissed is yamaha that this was let out HOURS before the release and why not release both brands today? Where will the sugar be when cat reveals what everyone knew 2 weeks earlier?
I still want to see a two stroke Yamaha 800!!! When is the unveiling today?

If one of these comes in a package to compete with the Indy, I think that would be awesome.

It just could be one or two sleds. Toyota has built or let gm use its cars before (old nova and vibe) and its not like gm gave up on production.
Yamaha makes a nice motor and driveline. Fit and finish is good..... But let's face it that's where it ends, shitty relays parts that wear out way too fast. Sloppy steering right out of the box. Overheating.
