Why cant Yamaha offer a factory turbo while Cat and Polaris can? It would seem to me that the R&D team at Yamaha would be much larger and have more resourses at there disposal... Just asking!
No turbo... supercharger at best ( the yamcharger?). 4 cylinder quad don´t need turbo to compeate with the Z1 or the FST or the 1200 Doo. Not yet atleast. Supercharger 200 + hp would wax them all, bad. OR just lighter weight would do fine. Less weight = more haulin #*$&@.
My prediction is FX chassis, more lightweight bitchbanger, twin cylinder 1000cc or close sled. Apex replacement would have the supercharged motor with 200+ hp to boot. Call me crazy, but this is what I think.
So two sleds on the future for me.
