Loved the vmax sound too but I am old and have lost my hearing so, sound doesn't mean much anymore. Lol. Kept getting beat by cats so that's why I didn't like vmax. Wildcats in the day would smoke it.
Huh, I was just the opposite. My last Cat was the 7oo Wildcat, came over to Yamaha and never looked back until now. Always thought that Cat had the better ride but not speed or handling,(700SX w/Aaen set up or SRX Bender ported) yeah I know not stock though. T Cats ruled for quite a while though, needed mods to keep up don't you know, but they could not hang in the twisties, that was for sure Ha Ha! Now I hope for the best of both manufacturers in 1 package. Time will tell Eh !! LTX-LE

In my early 50's now. Too many loud concerts and sleds. Won't miss the sound of the zr 9000. John Deere tractors sounded better!

I am only 60 Ha Ha!!
I have to say this Yamaha Cat thing isn't new to me. Back in the 70's, my wife got a 1972 Panther ( 292 Kawasaki single lunger) given to her by her older brother, it needed work and I liked to putter, so I bought an old Rolo-Flex from a freind which had a Yamaha 443 or 433 twin in it, well I junked the Rolo and put the Yamaha motor in that Cat, we had a lot of fun on that baby.
A neighbor was hunting on my property last year and saw that old Rolo, he asked about it so I gave it to him, it was in very rough shape but he restores them and yamaha's. His dad use to sell them at his dealership, he was the best guy, worked at his dealership until passing, miss that old boy, he was a character !!

Sorry to get all off of topic but back to heated seat, $140 damn I could have saved tons of money by buying an SE. You were right tnc110 , I just think went to Countrycat Website and now they're only $129.99. Just won't let my wife know.
