Maybe Yamaha has been working with Cat longer than we are aware of!

To funny , It was Dated Feb 14th of 2019 Valentines Day From the top view it looks very much like the Cat design. I have seen these drawings before but not with that date on it.
Maybe they bought Cat and are redoing there patent LOL Something to talk about over the summer......

Here's one from November 2018 showing a sled that looks to have the same suspension as the one in the first patent posted above and this one is for something having to do with a supercharged engine. It also looks like a 3-cylinder engine with rear exhaust.

Looking at the angle of that lower leg....looks like a traditional seating position

 

[Big_Phil]

I see rear exhaust, maybe they've decided to built the ultimate sled. Nytro chassis, with a cat front end and a cat skid. Would be awesome. The weight balance on a rear mount turbo nytro is so much better than a sidewinder.

 

[Mototown]

Won't it be great if they have bought cat , or are building there own sled to replace the sidewinder!!

Interesting the support from the steering column comes down over top of foot rest , not over top of gas tank like the cat . And it looks to have the secondary right over top of your foot.

That front end is totally different angles than the cat design, A arms are angled back into the chassis of the cat , that design looks to have a arms closer to the Apex at 90 degrees to chassis

 

[CooperT]

Spindles are different, A arms don’t look spaced as far apart as cats. Kind of sloping downward. Motor looks to moved more towards the rear of the sled also. Definitely interested in what it could be!
