Also read that these sleds will come with an option of the Nytro or Apex motor
if it is made by cat in any way i'm waiting til this phase blows over. should only take a year for yamaha to take their name off this product.
IF Yamaha made this cat design then thats a different story. You would think they would have to go over this sled with a fine tooth comb before they put the tuning forks on it

X2 I agree 100%. Yamaha has always done their own thing. I cant see them using a chasis from a competitor. Just seems like laziness to me on their behalf for not coming up with something on their own. IMO. Got to admit it is kinda sexy looking.

X2 That it is. Wasn't a big fan of it in green, but it sure does look good in blue and white!

I'd like to see a poll of how many people said they wanted the handling of a Cat and the Yamaha engine. Well here you go !!!
Can't see Japan giving up their identity, but it may be an economy issue. Once this plays out maybe we can start to dreaming of a Suzuki sled.....

I personally don't believe it, uh uh! I can't see Cat/Suzuki and Yamaha in bed together. Nope.

Cat and suzuki are no longer in bed together. Its just Yamaha and Arctic Cat in bed now. Arctic Cat woke up and decided to mate with a company that actually knows how to build engines.

Can't see the Japanese giving anything up to the US, but this economy can cause crazy things to happen.

Oh yes! I've owned Arctic Cat for years, the Nytro was the first Yamaha sled I've owned. While I love the Cats handling and suspension(I still own a 99 ZR 700) the 2 strokes were just weren't class leading performers ( at least the old 700). Now I love Nytro's engine and clutching, but the handling issues have been a headache to say the least. I think this will be match made in heaven. I have often wondered what it would take to put my Nytro engine in my ZR but thats only when consuming alcoholic beverages.
