One of my first sleds was the Yamaha 700 SRX what a rocket 120miles plus and nothin would touch it wicked fun to race on tight trails and the power valves on those sleds were one of a kind

Miss my old 1980 srx. Won many poker rally’s. On the lakes I would say bye bye. No cat/Polaris stood a chance. In the tight areas, the small sled was excellent. The advantage for Polaris, AC, doo was in suspension. But I was fearless, and whiskey throttled everything. Nice sled.
@camaro69green313 жыл бұрын
I miss my '81 Cat, eltigre 6000 just like you miss your 80 srx. Those were such amazing sleds. I had '81 and '84 6000, my brothers also owned that same sleds and there was nothing at the time or the many years later that would compare. Cat owned the title for fastest for a long time. We rode with everything.... raced everything. Good old days. The SRX 440 was a great sled and very fun to ride! And fast as well!

I also have a bad ass 1049 turbo with a Hurricane turbo with power commander clutched so on I would not run from this sled with there little 1 in lugs. Think I cant boost at 70 80 mph until it scares you I can. I can jump from 50 mph to 90 in a blind I can. Like to see yammie make a fast little trail rock.

Too bad these big 4 strokes are boring to ride. I’ll have to maybe try this one but if it’s anything like an apex I can’t do it. Other than the apex being about as fast as an 800 twin it was no fun to ride, didn’t sound good. Just had no soul. If this just feels like an apex on steroids gonna get boring pretty fast. The power should be nice but a sled needs more than just power to be fun imo

I love practically everything that Yamaha makes except for this piece of Arctic Scrap. Have any Ski-Doo riders tried these? They are horrendous. These guys are so careful not to say anything bad about the brands that sponsor them. They basically just tell you that all of the sleds are good in their own way and don't provide any real critique across brands.

@W TF? They are not #1 in the business. They are not even #2. They hold about 15% of the market share. There's no point in having a bias towards a certain brand. If some day Arctic Cat makes a better sled than Ski-Doo or Polaris I might just go out and buy one. No Bias here.
