We know our engines are the best. Even the other camps know this BUT what we really need are new or redesigned sleds and features built around them. The current lineups are stale, period. Except for the Viper, which is just a Yamaha engine thrown into a Cat body, the last big thing was power steering. No new designs, features or bodies. You can swap parts between 2007 and 2016 models. That's a long time.

We need new sleds!

While I agree to a point. Its nice to be able to salvage old parts and use them but be careful as there are many changes from 2003 to 2015.

More then power steering in 11, much more as some have said it should have been a new model. Course maybe Yamaha should follow Doo. How many new models all just like the last ones with basically new suspensions and plastic being the biggest difference. Same old chassis. New plastic is not much more then BNG.

You would think with such refined engineering the motor would get better fuel mileage than the ace motor. Anxious to see what kinda mileage the vector gets while in beginner mode.

If ya use more hp you burn more gas its a bit of science that you just can't get around. 40 more hp burns more fuel. Now my Apex burns just a hair more then the 1200 Doo usually 1 liter more to a fill up, but the Yami tripple burns less.
