I signed up tonight to be one of the test pilots next year! Ordered a Viper LTX SE in red. The 137" skid sounds like the way to go for myself. Im currently on an '11 Nytro XTX with the 144" skid and think that's a bit too much length for flatlander trail riding. Really stoked about this sled! Its almost as if Yamaha asked me personally what I wanted in a sled. I have liked the AC Procross since it came out and considered buying one but the drivtrain and clutch issues concerned me. With the Viper I get the awsome 3 banger Nytro engine with Yammi's tried and true clutching wrapped in the sled that I love so much. And I won't have to buy a new suit now. Selling price was $12,099. Comes with 3 yr YES extended warranty, Viper jacket, Viper roller bag (not sure what the hell that is), and a Yamalube care package (dont really know what that is either).

Nice! I think that's what I would get too, not sure on the color though. Like the white/blue but wish the tunnel was black! Good luck! 
Congrads on your new purchase

I had to bite the bullet. Put my order in for a LTX-SE in Blue. Will also be one to try it. I have to talk to my dealer about the purchase price on what I paid compared to what I seen in previous posts. If these sleds are produced in North America then there is no reason for a 2500.00 difference in Canada>

YOUR LUCKY.....WE WILL NOT see any DEMO RIDES on those this season, we will see them soon at the show....Would Rather Ride It Though
Well, my Nytro is gone to a new home. What to do now?
Think I'm going to order a new Viper. I ride mostly in MN so I'm thinking the 136. Anybody want to add their two cents? I will be taking it out west a couple times.
Hard call.

I phoned my dealer today to discuss what he thought of it, and possibly "pencil" in a deal.
He said he that Fit n Finish weren't quite there, but again, these were prototypes, and that it'd likely improve for production.
He should have one soon, but not in time for a ride on the snow.
I'm thinking of the LTX-SE too, and he didn't have prices for me.
Told me I have until the 19th or 20th of April to take advantage of the "Spring Order".
I really like the sled, but am a little leery of any issues it may have after some real world testing.
It'll be a red one for me!!

I can't decide on which to get either, I have a xtx now and it's a little long maybe the 137 would be perfect. Then again a 129 is still not as short as the 121..... Decisions.

I would have loved to demo ride one as well before I ordered but they're not going to be anywhere close to me in the next few weeks. I guess it doesn't really matter as this is the 4th Yamaha sled and 6th sled overall that I have spring ordered in the last 14 years and I have never demo rode any of them. Also, what else would I really have bought? I will only buy a 4 stroke sled. Had an Apex, still have a Nytro so I didn't want another one of those. I don't really care for the Ski Doo 1200 4 stroke and they didn't change them at all for 2014. Polaris has nothing, so that leave only Cat and Yamaha for 4 strokes. Yammi won the deal with me.
