I'm buying one.....

[RobWarrior]

You ride the same general areas I do... we should try to ride next year.

I will check out Brownells.

Who else is buying?

Sounds good, I ride with another gent on TY...Frano, we're going up to the Pittsfield VT area next week if they still have riding? Let us know if you want to go? Make it a mini TY ride!

Scott at brownells is a great guy, that's who I'd go to if I decide to purchase this year

My RTX SE is ordered. In red. I would have chose the LTX, but we NEED to run studs around here. I am not going to stud a 1.5" lug track. We ride on frozen groomed, and ice here in New England 85% of the time, and it gets bumpy quick.

Going from a 121x15x1", to a 129x15x1.25" is going to be a major upgrade already, and I can lightly stud it for safety.

The only model with more than a 1.25" track is the XTX SE

 

[Cory S]

The only model with more than a 1.25" track is the XTX SE

The LTX SE is 129 X 1.5", the LTX STD is still the 129 X 1.25"

 

[favarcat]

LTX SE = 137 x 1.25 LTX Std = 137 x 1.25

 

[Cory S]

LTX SE = 137 x 1.25 LTX Std = 137 x 1.25

The site is incorrect?

This is out of the new Yamaha and Viper brochures and also the tracks they had on them at the demo ride I went to.

Just checked on the Ripsaw ll availability, and there isn't a 1.5" listed. Interesting. Yamaha should change their specs on the site ASAP!

I am glad that you guys are willing to be the guinea pigs for the rest of us that know better than to buy the first year model of anything. Good luck and let us know how it works out next season!

Well said

THEN WHY....Should ANY MANUFACTURE build anything?????

GOOD THING....They don't listen to TIRE KICKERS or PEOPLE who JUMP ON AND OFF THE BAND WAGON

Because there will always be those consumers who want to have the latest version of something. I am talking about everything from electronics to automobiles to recreational vehicles like snowmobiles. The people who want to have the latest versions of something want to appear cool and trendy. However many times the price to be paid for having the first of something is being unwittingly enlisted in the process of working the bugs out of whatever it is they bought. I am fine with that because I know better than to be a first model year buyer. I also know that there will be plenty of others who will be the guinea pigs that help to make the subsequent model year a better product for those of us who know to wait.
