Is this all the sleds? There are no 141 or 153 turbos this year for either side just the trail 137?

Some other models for sure....I've just posted sleds for trail riders like myself.

They are all up on their site.

Few more of the top dog....SRX, still not sure how I feel about this being black...lol

Embroidered seat is a nice touch.

The SideWinder(and T-Cat) are still by far the most fun money can buy for the type of trails I ride.
No other manufacturer has something I desire more because they simply cannot be reliably brought up to the insane power levels of these machines.
There will be plenty of whining on this website(nothing new) that Yamaha hasn't brought out enough new iron this year, but the same can be said about all the manufacturers. You could actually argue that Yamaha and Cat made more changes than Pol or Doo.
Have a great day. [/QUOTE

Unfortunately that won’t keep Yamaha in the snowmobile business. You could also argue that Yamaha came out with nothing but stickers for what AC developed.

Sure it will. my dealer has sold more Winders per year than he ever did all-Yamaha models. These are great sleds. All the negativity is bewildering.

Also, this yr is interesting....as CAT only offers One model(Tcat) with turbo for 2020. With or without Elec shocks.

If cat would have made a 146 crossover I would have purchased one. Damn Cat...... Those Yamaha colors on the 146 are not in my wheel house. I like black........

I think the blue is gorgeous ! Yes, these are great sleds. Im reminded every time i test others .
This is a great site but yes, lots of negativity and especially blaming cat for stuff... lately even the turbo lol
Thousands of other riders are just out enjoying the sport.. ..Its crazy the number of winders on the trails this year.

I agree...id rather be fixing the shortcomings(mechanically) and have a sled that is pure smiles when riding. Then buy a sled that has shortcomings in which you cannot fix.

Simply put, there is nothing in this category of power and handling, so the engineering shortcomings are something I will take, and fix to have the only sled out there I can actually love to ride/own.

Tried to talk myself into the 900t with tune....Plenty of Jam(w/a tune)and great handling/shocks ect....but ridiculous ITC throttle just is horrible, and Im so glad I did not talk myself into "getting used to it". The throttle is something that is part of your every move/touch while riding....not really something you can forget, when its so bad.

While a 270r tune will turn a 998 into a snappy 2 stroke like, nose lifting, knoll hopping monster....It really is not even close to any other sled out there. Im happy to see the 4s Viper is back too, which is the ONLY other 4s sled package that has killer instant YAMAHA 4s snap. BRP really should go back to drawing board with their 4s engine design, its been talked about since 2009, the intake trac is too long and can never have instant throttle response like the YAM design does, with our TB's right near cylinders. BRP will keep offering this, so their cash cow keeps making them the big profits.

Not a fan personally of the 2 tone blue....Baby blue for a muscle sled?? Grrrr....

I LOVE the blue/orange but they are only SE models....grrrr

And no 129 for me, so pretty much dead on arrival then.

Our 129s just went up in value!

Found some info in specs on the push button start....so no more key start which really does make sense, its always a pain to grab key with gloves. I just wonder if the key is still there to turn power ON? I do like the LED light and my GPS connected to a key ON, so I can light up trail at night and check out GPS without starting sled.

I like the Blue on Blue. It should have been on the SRX though. SRXs should be blue. Don't care for the black. It won't look that much different than the TCat.

 

[BTP]

That SRX should have been black with gold stripes rather than silver. Play it back to the old 81 version that looked so cool or even a white with red to cover the earlier models.....
