Well I'm at 27,000 miles so far this year on my 2017 LTX-SE and after all the necessary mods to the drive train to make it dependable it's been an enjoyable season so far. I've rode Yamahas since my first one in 1973 and have had to modify something on all of them to make them bullet proof. I'm pretty sure I would of had to do the same with Doo's Poo's and Cats also. Manufactures build sleds to ride an average of 500-800 or so miles a year. I work on sleds for a living and see what mileage people put on their sleds. I did have a chance to ride the new Mach Z a bit the winter and I can tell you bumps are still bumps I don't care if they do adjust 50 times a second! Got back on my sled and realized we are riding one of the best riding sleds out there even if it is a 10 year old chassis, not to mention the best engine to date. I'm not sure what some people want Yamacat to come up with besides bold new graphics because they already make the best sled for what it is intended for. I am anxious to see what's coming for 2023 as I would like to get a new one. A lot of my riding buddies are jumping ship but I just can't bring myself to Doo it. I am a little miffed that 2022's still haven't been delivered, but some haven't received their new Ski Doo's either. All we can hope it's not like this next year.
