All I can say is you are very lucky to have so many choices. Good luck.

I think it all comes down to where and how you ride.

Just my opinion looking at what i do. If you dont plan on a turbo for the Viper I would go for the M8000. I have the Viper nonturbo for just this season ( wanted to make sure I liked it before dumping lots of money into it) and it is very nice but jumping creaks and ditches in the river bottoms with waist deep snow it doesn't like to pull the front end up. It will also come short on the hills if you are riding with 800's of any brand. If you can turbo it go with the plain MTX. You can upgrade shocks later to some good coil overs (I'am not a fan of the Fox's). Again this is just my opinion. Fred

Any way you go 2 or 4 stroke i would get the 2016. I like my 15' Viper but im digging the skinnier ski stance with more adjustability of the 16' front end. If you go with the viper i believe a turbo is a must if you plan on playing in the mountains. Looking at the new M8000 you can't beat the durability of the Suzuki engine when it comes to 2 strokes and now with Cat using TEAM clutches that will eliminate a lot of the belt issues that AC is known for. To me givin the choice i would have to flip a coin or just buy both. Ether way i would go 162in I love the extra traction and flotation of the longer track

See the front skid shock info to fix this and make it dance like an M8. PM me if you need the info to fix this, takes 60 bucks and about 15 minutes to fix.

I bought a 2014 M8 and really liked it. I then bought a 2014 Viper XTX for the girlfriend and converted it to an MTX. After the fixes to clutch and changing the front skid shock spring I liked it so much I took a beating on my M8 and sold it to buy another XTX to convert (MTX were not out yet). I did this as the 4 stroke torque has instant response so much more than a two stroke. Am VERY happy I sold the M8 and bought the Viper. After the can, and clutch and air box mod my Viper outran the M8, but stock the Viper has no chance against the M8. SO about 400 bucks makes it equal to an M8

If you buy a MTX Viper make sure to change the front skid shock spring out, 60 bucks WELL spent.
