I don't know where that 180 HP stock R1 is at? My 06 dynoed at 150 with just A&R race baffles (slip-ons) the new 09/10 R1's are even less at 146. This is at the rear wheel not the crank so maybe that's where the difference is?
Can Yamaha make a 180 HP 4 holer most certainly and lets hope they did.

The 2011's were at Old Forge last Saturday. This is the latest that I saw - reminder I am not a mechanic but these are my impressions. The biggest thing is POWER STEERING. This makes the sled very easy to handle. My wife found it very easy to turn (she rides an 06 Apex ER) - reminder the sled must be moving - no matter how slow - the power steering works. The ski's were changed and the handling seemed to be improved. The engine is a 4 cylinder (99% sure of that). It has a very easy pull which makes it very smooth to back it up. The track is 128" and it looks like a different tunnel. There is a change in the instrument pod - might be an outside temp gauge. The front of the machine is a little different - but it defintely had the Apex "look". We could NOT bring them on the trails but we did ride them around the parking lot. The final impression was it was a great machine. I guess only time will tell.

is it the same reverse set-up?

 

[Floridasnowmobiler]

To tell the truth when I put it in reverse I did not notice anything different. I guess it was the same.

"The engine reaches very quickly 10 300 RPM without any hesitation... Thus on short distances… Small point to observe: a 91 octane fuel is recommended... "

What does that tell you.....

Wonder why it's recomended and not required?

 

[japex]

isn't 87 recommended in the prev. apex's. would this mean more compression?
