Bought an 06 Apex new and loved it (Actually kept it)
In 2010 added a Nytro Rtx se to the garage. Rode it 2 years and had it working amazing. Top speed was an issue way up north.
Decided to sell the Nytro exactly a year ago due to the fact it was worth more than my 06 Apex.
The Eps Apex wasn't enough of a visual change to warrant the price tag.
Almost bought a Turbo cat because I thought they looked awesome and for $1000 you could make them 250hp. After reading that the 2013 cats were still having issues, I abandoned ship on that idea.
Decided to ride the 06 Apex all last winter and wait.
Then the Yammicat was announced.
No brainer for me.
Ordered the sled, tossed a Mcx 190 on there and super happy so far!
In hindsight maybe didn't need the turbo since some are seeing 110 on the speedo with some clutching but sure puts a smile on my face.
I still ride my 06 from time to time for comparison. 4 banger is one awesome motor, but even with my $1000 hygear rear shock, Viper handles so much better and less movement transferred to the rider.
Go for it
