I'm pretty excited. I just snowchecked my own red/black Viper LTX SE on the last day of the Yami promo. I was in line to replace my 2006 Attak this year. I figured why not just replace the whole fleet so I'm picked up a new Vector LTX for the wife too, the new gray. Of course the color and EPS are the most important parts to her
I could not stand the pain of the carbs every year on her sled. I might be getting ripped for but they offered me 8,000 USD for my 06 Attak and 08 Vector LTX both with low miles.
I demo'ed the XTX and RTX SE. The trails were pretty soft that day so the RTX was very loose but the XTX was planted well. Even my wife noticed how loose the rear end was on the soft trails. Since most of my riding is on trails steering effort is import to me on 300+ miles days. I thought the steering was the same on the Viper and EPS Apex.

Congrats! It will be a long summer for all of us who ordered the new Viper. Hopefully we get them delivered in time to customize them to our liking with windshields, bags, studs, etc.

I agree. Since this is the Yamicat. I plan on talking to my local Cat dealer to find good ideas for up grades. This goes without syaing I will find other ones here too. One stupid one I'm planning on is to throw the seat heater my this sled. I also plan on my Curve skis on to see how they handle. Many month to get more ideas 
Update: I just updated my sig

I'm get the taller shield too. I'll look into the 4th wheel. Also I'm going either upgrade the Fox fronts or replace them. I'm even look into Curve front end high fix.

Hygear has a nice shock package for them ( front and rears )
Right now I am not planning any mods since Yamaha is watching us here and is going to make the sled everything we have asked for.
Skiis that dont push,Shocks that work,4 real wheels and nice shiny plastic or paint on them. Will just need to ride I hope.
