Well after campaining doo for the last 4 years we've started to make the switch to 4 stroke world. After thoughly inspecting and checking the new FX Nytro RTX I can and will say Yamaha is making a VERY nice quality product!. Since I had already commited to buying a Tn'T before getting offered a package deal with Yamaha I decided to go through with both the new 08 sleds. After taking down sleds and looking very closely at both the simularities and differences, I like what I see. I know I will have to keep myself off my wifes sled (the 08 Tn'T) as the rear suspension has some fragile pieces that I feel will break if I ride it hard (my normal style) over rough trails. Both sleds have pluses and each has some things I like over the other. As I have said before, and I'll say it again; IF the nay sayers are NOT riding the new XP they might want to keep the weight comments of the Yamaha's (namely the FX nytro) a little bit quiet because a REV w/E-start (or any other brand sled) is very close in weight to the new FX Nytro! With snow 1/2 way down the Mts and parts for the sleds starting to arrive we are getting excited for another year of sledding up here. I hope to have 5000 miles on the FX Nytro by June! There is 6 in the family and everybody rides their own sled!!

Keep us updated on that TnT, I am toying with trying one, 400 lbs would just be a fricken blast. I'm a little skeptical of it holding up to a beating though. You have the two sleds I would love to have cash no issue, the TnT and the nytro!
 
Congrats.....let us know if the 4 stroke is always ridden at the front to avoid the 2 stroke smell........I kinda have a feeling it will be :Rockon:

Dam what do you do for a living? 6 sleds, all mint....

Good choice on the four-stroke, congrats!!!

LOL mint? The race sled is far from mint there has been at least $5000 worth of parts through that sled (that's what I get fortaking a consumersled and try and sno-x with it!) But it IS light and FAST for an 600 and the fact it's an SDI 600 makes more impressive to some!! Look closely at the yellow MXZx, different rear axle and wheels, bumper is broke, (my daughters sled that I borrowed one week end because I broke a chain case (4th one I might add) in the race sled and I have a big trip planned) That sled also has a bent nun (yep me last ride of the year :o| I need to fix SOON! The black summit siezed it's engine @ 13 months! NO warrentee! #$%&* Friend of a friend ran it into a tree going UP HILL! :ORC lol Runs and looks geat now.

Looking forward to helping the family switch to Yamaha over the next few years. I only hope I don't regret getting that Tn'T! Again the front suspension looks like it'll take what ever the rail offers .... the rear on the other hand.... Guess we'l have to see!

We already have another FX NytroRTX on order but that will be solely a x/c race sled. This FX Nytro will be my play/practive sled this year. Both this FX Nytro and Tn'T will be 136/137 before to long.

I really look forward to zero engine issues as I turn to blue....
