The video says "from the yamaha factory in japan" Does this mean the

It looks alot like a cat to me.

Don't like that the xtx has a 2.25 track. Not really a crossover cause trail riding that is a big no.

I envy you guys being able to by a new sled..I had my days but now can't do it at all.. old age and lack of a good pension. Lot's of Arthritis to slow me down from working long hours.. I use to be able to work hard long hours and buy a new truck or snowmachine...still have the mind of a young man but hit a wall when I go to get moving mornings.. enjoy these new machines....I do wish I had one for power steering as my Attak is hard on my Arthritic shoulders.

this engine and turbo are way more sophisticated than the mpi
Being that Yamaha developed this Engine/Turbo combination as a unit we can pretty well bank on the powertrain being reliable and refined. I would think that prior to any tweeking the HP will fall somewhere just shy of 180hp...175 or so.
