2020 Yamaha Snowmobiles


Boycott. The transporter. All artic cat. Artic cat probably even made the Yamaha decals for it.
 
not on the viper 2020 SRVIPER L-TX GT
The viper is now only listed as 33.6 liter gas tank. before it was listed as 37 liters. it must have the same tank as the sidewinder now.
 
Was hopeful, like the black SRX but not going to pony up that kind of money, to then have to spend money on a proper track. The Jetstream blue....just not what I envision being seen on.
 
Here’s my opinion for what it’s worth. All 4 manufacturers have made big moves over the last couple years. They all have non current sleds out there waiting in dealer inventory. I would say all 4 really didn’t do anything exciting. I’m guessing next year will be one that at least 3 step up with something new. It’s unfortunate but at least they all have a good selection. I do agree that if Yamaha comes with a 2 stroke that they will add a much larger customer base. There’s a lot of old time Yamaha lovers but are also 2 stroke fans.
 
Sorry but WTF is up with these color schemes. Powder blue???

I'm not disappointed in the engine chassis options. Hell the GM 5.3 is basically the same motor since 1999. We shouldn't expect new chassis' and engines every few years but have someone older than 16 in on the styling. Last 2 years were good......this year not so much.
 
We gained a 2 stroke from Cat, not sure how the Cat ctec 600 works, haven't heard anything bad about it, thought I seen the VK540 now in the Cats line up, maybe it was a trade off, the 2020 line up from Yamaha was pretty much what I was thinking in might be, bunch of left over warehouse parts reconfigured from the winder stock pile and sticker department.
 
there isn't a vector in model year 2020. I am not sure which would be the replacement but for trail its a sidewinder or a viper.
 
This release sucks. No mid-sized sled, no next level kids sled (where is the next gen SnoSport?) Youth colors are yuk. Only 1 mountain sled (so much for making any headway in that market). No 1-up trail sled with power steering. My favorite engine of all time, the APEX...still MIA. All the same BNG S#!%. The SRX should be Back and Gold. The S-TX GT 2-up should be loaded with everything...(No mirrors, doesn't have the electric shock package, no saddle bags, smaller fuel tank (only 11 gal...got to be a misprint)...how about adjustable steering, adjustable windshield, Tail bag, also (as someone else said) there should be more more color options for a $18,000 sled...I can go on and on. Way too much Cat DNA in this line. Oh, but we got a smoking 2 stroke! Oh yeah, that's Cat too...all of it. Blah...doesn't Rev my Heart.

Guys and Gals...I doubt there is anything else coming. We were all bummed for the 2019 release and the 2018 release (the 50th) was really bad. A little excited for the 2017 with the sidewinder, but I would have to go back to 2014 with the viper and for sure to 2011 with the revised APEX. It is clear they are not listening to us and they clearly don't know what the hell we really want. Did I say this sucks?
