My impression of the new Attak

[hahler2]

I currently ride an 03 F7. I thought long and hard this spring about ordering either an Apex or an Attak. I decided not to since I have never rode either a Yamaha or a 4 stroke sled and didn't want to spend that much money and then be unhappy with the sled. Luckily, my neighbor got an Attak and since we just got a huge blizzard this week I ran into him while I was out riding yesterday. He was nice enough to let me take his brand new sled with less then 20 miles on it for a spin. I was VERY impressed. I love the riding position and I was extremely happy with the feel of the sled. I don't care how much heavier they are you really don't feel it. Just riding around it didn't feel any heavier than my F7. I tried jumping a few drifts with it and you could kind of notice the weight then, but not like I thought you would be able to. When it was in the air the front end felt a bit heavier and I don't think I would be able to throw it around the way that I would my F7, but it wasn't bad either. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Needless to say, Yamaha has made another convert. Now I just have to decide if I want to spend the money yet this year and try and find a dealer who's got an Attak left or just wait til next year.

You mean you guys didn't line them up? I thought that came naturally for most sledders. (including me!!) LOL!!

Thanks for the honest feedback hahler2. It is good to hear these kinds of comments from someone that currently doesn't own a Yamaha. Welcome to the site too.

Well we were just sitting around at the bar (I was drinking water cause I don't drink and ride) and he pulled in after I did. So I went out there and took the sled for a quick ride and he had gone back in the bar by the time I got back so we never had a chance to line em up. We will be doing it sometime in the near future though. Just from seat of the pants feel I don't think I'll be able to beat him either.
