New 2017 Yamaha Sleds...

[Phatboyc]

Someone already posted a better screen capture of it already from the new video... Yes LED lights...oulala.

This one definitely looks like a redesigned cat headlight. But looks like a Yamaha gauge cluster. Looks like a mountain strap on the handlebar in one picture. But in one still looks too short to be a mountain sled, but it is definitely a sled. Possibly they are showing a trail sled and a mountain sled. Two models in one video? This is from the newest video.

That picture is the shot of the accent lights, the one I posted shows the accent lights and the projector beams.

Hope for people buying this it will be in the 4300k color range otherwise lots of complaint are coming. Very blue in the video but that's probably the effect they added...

Is it me, or is this release feeling like it's going to be a big letdown again? It looks to be a Viper with upgraded lights and maybe a different engine. Granted that engine might be a turbo and/or the Phazer 500 twin, but again, it's looking like a massaged Viper.

You could be right, but like you said don't expect too much that way you won't be disappointed. On the other hand CR did say to expect the unexpected!

Should be a wr450f. E-start, headlight, HO stator for heated grips or other accessories.

Yeah YZ or WR, have heard the snowbike guys like YZ MX'ers for the close ratio trannys vs the WR, but either one.

I just left a conversation with somewhat of an inside source. I couldn't get a name out of him other than its not a Venom, and it's a snake that goes sideways in the sand, "sidewinder". He's thinking turbo version in viper chassis for apex replacement.

DING! DING! DING! we have a winner. Not sure on name but rest is right!! 10 days left!!

I do not believe the Sherco story, great deflect from AC. Why would they use a Sherco when they are partners with Yamaha that can supply them the bike a lot cheaper than Sherco.

Because in other threads it was proven that the bike at Haydays was a Sherco, and the photo is it on the truck. Nobody got any closer to it than that photo as it was on the truck lift.

Also, word has it the skid was developed by Camso. My opinion is that it was a cheap mock-up as that skid looks like it was made from painted cardboard. And that is the reason they didn't allow anyone to get close to it.

Even though it makes sense to use a Yamaha bike, that bike shown was a Sherco. Nobody said that was a final product and yet another reason why nobody was allowed to get close to it.

I would never buy a 2 stroke because of having to sell it or rebuild it after so many miles. Plus i dont like the smell of 2 stroke on my outfits. Plus having to keep buying the oil. When i buy a sled i want to keep it for reliability. To me weight is a feeling of strong built parts not thin metal. This is so funny you guys are acting like kids in a candy store.

If it has this on the sled I would be interested!
