To me refinement of current line up chassis all OEMs. No big break thrus.. Yes... Polaris did lighten the Rush a lot if that floats your boat & did something to 2s 800 HO not sure what yet other than lighter crank? Doo a new front end probably a good thing, Yamaha lots of Vipers & AC lots of every model possible....lol. 2015 Colors all brands... WOW!!... some ok combinations but others FUGLY just toooooo much color for me... turn it down designers ....YIKES! Your thoughts?

If the new doo's are too loud(bright), your too old lololol :D...I ordered an 800 renegade X , which will be my first non-shorty, pretty pumped. Like what they did to the front end to bring it up to par with the Rmotion and some nice other features. Also the 3 or 4 year warranty offered from doo on their whole lineup is very nice, not sure anyone else is doing that especially on 2s. I'm sure poo will have a nice ride on that axys, but i cant get over the rear end. We will see how their new 800ho works, kinda sux its not on their beloved RMK? One of my friends ordered an 800 axys, so we are sure to have a showdown next year hehe. Havent heard much new about cat or yama besides the extended viper or that tucker hibbert sled that looked pretty cool. I just hope next winter is snowier than this year, if thats possible. I am already looking forward to december....only 37 more weeks YEA

They've done it with every motor they've come out with. Whose the first to Bi+c# up a storm when their motor goes kaboom? Not the trail guy who crosses roads and rides right through the middle of town. It's the guy stuck on top of a mountain and has to drag a sled 10 miles through 10 feet of snow.

well I am sled less now and looking to buy.
the 15 m8s do not mae me want to spend the extra$$$ for a 15 so I am on the hunt for a 14. a few in AC salvage but not in the color I want so been looking in to dealers looks like 9999.00 for a M8sp.
I have a dealer hanging a bone in my nose with the cheapest sno check I have heard of from every one I have talked to .think he wants to be the one to say he got me back on a poo.

I was ready to pull the trigger on a RMK pro, but now not sure since it will probably get the new engine next year. I have a few more weeks to think about it I guess.

Just pulled the trigger on two new Vipers!! No more two stroke poo after 27 years. Been putting way too much money in pistons, cranks, and cylinders, the last few years. And these were 600's. Time for a change for the ol Switch07!!!

I'm staying put. Like what I have and nothing out there to motivate me to upgrade. Love my XTX's and my Venture GT when riding two up. I'm so glad I wasn't tempted to upgrade ANYTHING!

Don't worry about it. Turn the oil up 3 full turns, I run scratchers down always, don't over heat it on the trails you will be fine. Just turned 4000 trouble free miles on my 12.

I am thinking more about the re-sale when the new model does come out....I will want that one and will take a big hit on the sale. Or I will have to hand it down to Junior again. Which is what he wants.

Think they're all pretty nice. Wish I could have one from each manufacture.
Think Polaris definitely raised the bar with their gauge package and led lighting.

Just wish they all would have few more choices in track dept. And even color in some choices. I mean why can't you get 800 xf cross country in green instead of just orange? Do we really need engine size on hood anymore? Offer couple colors, choose engine. If people want offer sticker with engine size on it.
My faves
Ski doo x renegade 800 e tech- solid chassis, looks good in black/red. 4 yr warranty!
Polaris switchback-probably stick with 600 based on they're past. Standard switch or adventure? Lots of choices.
Yamaha Viper- Looks awesome in blue! Loved the engine in my Nytro. As good in Viper? Solid trail sled, good warranty.
Arctic Cat- 800 XF cross country. Cant get in green, definite bummer. Solid engine

Lots of choices and great time to be a buyer, as long as you can afford them. Lol
Not snowchecking one but definitely be shopping and checking them out in fall!

that's no bull it is getting ridicules.
especially with the micro changes from yr to yr no new tooling no new venders after yr 2 it is mostly gravy

Hard to find a left over except some of the more basic models, but if that's what your looking for might be some deals.
