New 2017 Yamaha Sleds...

[1nc 2000]

Headlight looks like a Nitro to me.

I can't tell if that is a sled or a fourwheeler looking through the windshield of the side by side.

look through the window opening of the s by s youll see a headlight. thats the sled.

you can clearly see the front right wheel well. This is not a sled

Thanks for the info. I cant really read the first pic what are the market share numbers?? 25% 4 stroke market share is kind of poor i thought it be higher like 35%. What year was that from?

I not sure if its all to do with being a 4 stroke or just that they cost more???

2015
BRP 46%
Polaris 32%
AC 17%
Yamaha 5%

approximately 150,000 sled sold from all manufactures in 2015 worldwide. That's a total of 7500 sleds sold to dealers for Yamaha. Compare that to about 375,000 motorcycles.

Is there a sled in the third picture? When Chris said ‘one leaked picture hurt’, maybe he wasn’t referring to the SxS but rather the sled in the background?!Wouldn’t that be the definition of ‘hiding in plain sight”? OK, you guys got me… Busted! cheers cr. - See more at: http://snowmobiles.yamahablogs.ca/2016/02/04/depends/#comments

That's just poor 5%. Couple years ago it was around 10% correct?? Wonder at what point they say $#&@ it?? But I don't want some cobbled up yamacrap sled. Just my opinion.

Sad thing is that the Viper line of sleds comprise of approx 60% of Yamaha's sales...so 2% of sled sales in 2015 were 100% Yamaha.
Hopefully Yamaha has opened their eyes and will come out with something new this year and stop the lollygagging.

I think he was talking about the sxs , that color and sticker style never came to sale, it's yellow plastic not yellow paint, stickers are like the blue and white sxs

Found this on Yamaha motor site. Looks like Russia buys most of the yamaha sleds.

That too is a good reference. Sales of sleds are about 1/3 US, 1/3 Canada, 1/3 other...roughly give or take. At 5% market share thats about 2500 sleds sold to Yamaha dealers in the US. Yamaha needs to do seething about that.
