Who ordered?

22 don’t have eps a better comparison is 23 it does and it’s around 10%. Still not right but it is cheaper than T cat.

My 22 has eps and atac. The same exact sled with trail blazer option was $17,745. 2024 same sled with new stickers is $23k. How do they sleep at night?

I agree i tried getting the 23 srx with no luck. I would of tried again this year but not a fan of the black and gold. Interested to see how the new skidoo 850 turbo holds up.Might be an option in the future.

I ended up ordering 2 2023 srxs this week. Might be an option for you? Cheaper then the 2024s. I don't mind the black and gold but like the blue better.

Well, let's say for example they sold 10 sleds three years ago with a 10% margin.
Next year they sell, for example, 5 sleds with a 20% margin.
Bottom line remains the same, although they won't be challenging for number one in sales volumes and their dealers won't be selling as many parts down the road.
All in all however, I'd say they're sleeping just fine.

With all this conversation about markets I have to post this from the late legendary Ayn Rand.

Bought a viper 4-5 years ago. Thought the Yamaha name was a good one to start getting back into snowmobiling. Got adventurous and put a turbo on it with some bad advice from one of the more popular tuners here. The Viper blew up. I got it fixed, left it NA and waited patiently for Yamaha to fix the known issues with the Sidewinder and perhaps show some innovation. Spent some time on a Polaris in the meantime while I waited.

Well as many have voiced here, the writing is on the wall. Yamaha seems to be happy to rehash the same sled and sell only to the most dedicated blue fans. They know those dwindling dedicated will pay top dollar so that's what they're charging.

My time, patience ran out and Skidoo got my money for a snow check this year. Shame really for all the time spent by really smart riders to make the sidewinder a monster on the lake and trails. Yamaha just isn't doing their part.
