New 2017 Yamaha Sleds...

Granted I don't spend much time listening to sleds at speed without my helmet on, but the engine sound intrigues me a little(if it's the real sound).

Actually I think it sounds like the R1 crossplane engine

It definitely is not a dirt bike, you can clearly see 2 skis

The lead sled in this screen grab does look like it's leaving a snow bike track.

Snowbike R1 style

Does Mr.Sled know a little bit more than the rest of us ????

Yep..and wont say a word. I like having the support of Yamaha

Do they make snow bikes with 2 skis because this thing definitely has to skis, didn't yamaha say that they promised 5 motors in five years? I believe this is going to be a turboed Viper out of the factory. I also here there's a direct injection 800 2 stroke in the works,not saying it's coming out this year but I heard it may be coming out within the 5 years from model year 14

Seat possition looks more bike like, or it's the fisheye camera? Sounds good though

4cyl snow bike with articulated front end, if you stop the video at 18 seconds you see the rider leaning more forward than usual leading me to think rice rocket style seating. You also see nothing behind the rider no seat again leading me to believe snow bike, solo seat type thing. Get ready to drag knee boys. Rossi style!

There's definitely snow bike in the video but I think there also are also traditional sleds

yeah, I doubt it's all the same sled, looks to be showcasing a couple/few different sleds. That certainly doesn't sound like the nytro/viper motor even with boost, too smooth/high pitched, hopefully a new motor is coming.

Everyone is being VERY tight lipped this year on the new sleds, this is the first teaser for a 17 from any of the manufacturers that I know of, and it doesn't show much at that!

All I know for sure is new plastic. Have heard different clutches and from there all just guesses. Excited as everyone else to find out!

I also have the support of Yamaha, and do not know that privileged info. I always said we are the last to know.
