This poll got me thinking about this more. After really mulling it over I will change my resounding Yes to Yes as a second sled. I would use it just as I used my SRX last few years except for rough beat trails and ditches. As a fun sled to hop on and ride from the house or as a second sled. I just cannot trust the 2 strokes not to ruin a weekend or a big trip by acting up because of bad fuel or worse yet burning down. I personally witnessed this way to often last few years and I really do think that the 2 stroke smell wears you down after awhile. Of course being delegated to second sled position it would have to be inexpensive.

I would get a yamacat 2 stroke for sure , cat has always had great engines
Well, Suzuki had great engines
sheetwright said:See this poll is a double edge sword to answer. Should of been would you buy a yamaha snowmobile with a yamaha two stroke motor. It's one thing to put our power technology, clutching, gearing, and mapping into someone else's chasis and call it a yamaha. It is a totally different question to just add our clutch and gearing to someone else's motor and entire sled, then brand it a yamaha. To me that is not a yamaha. They might as well buy cat, and just change the whole line up to a yamaha name then use. our better clutches and drive components. Just saying....
I feel I covered that. There is an answer for a Yamaha 2-stroke and an answer for a YamaCat 2-stroke.

Guess I'm the only one looking at other brands.
If I had the cash I think right now I'd spend it on a 2014 Renegade Adrenaline with a 900 ACE.
But I don't have the cash, so instead i'm putting a new track on the RX1 and plan on enjoying every minute on it anyway.

As owning many 4 stores and even one boosted one.The 4 strokes are nice on the trail but for all around mountain riding 2strokes are where it's at.Chute climbing is a different story but for deep tree riding I prefer 2 stroke.

X8. With EPA screwing around with corn gas etc. A 2 stroke would be obsolete before its time in my area.
I would buy a Yamaha 2 stroke that made 160ish HP, was fuel efficient and sipped oil and above all, reliable....I'd be all over it.

We all know Suzuki engines are not in cat's no more. This whole Yamaha and cat thing started when cat needed some reliable engines. I wouldn't throw that idea out that Yamaha might make a new chassis and throw a C-TEC2 engine in it.
