    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    The Yami 998 takes up quite some space, and is rather weighty?

    New truck

    As a rule, generally an F350 will ride better than a F250 when empty. Yeah, well, I know that's hard to believe, but that has been the way it works. It has to due with the way the springs are configured. Drive both before purchase.

    The Mosquito - It's Available

    Yeah, LOL, I can remember how it was years ago! A whole lot different than the recent past years. The first time I took my wife into Mosquito, you could barely see the bar for the cigarette, and cigar smoke! Kind of dingy, dungeon in there to say the least. She didn't care for that kind of...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Yeah, well, if so then it seems the 4-stroke will not happen, period. Done deal.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Goofy600, I'm really hoping that is the exact case! It's modern, modular design manufacturing. Textron/AC can do this for multiple applications, just as BRP has done.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Yeah, well, my hope is that Textron/AC will produce their own, in house, 4-stoke engines. And these engines are engineered and designed to fit their AC chassis from the get go. Thus, this way being very well balanced snowmobile for excellent ride and handling. To do that you have to engineer...

    New truck

    Yeah, well, the ability to spec out a Ford truck to fit your needs compared to the other brands is beyond belief. Ford has the truck market for good reason. Chevy is a distant 2nd, GMC, and RAM bring up the rear on the ability to properly spec.. A properly spec truck for the application, is a...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Not so sure on the Yamaha getting it right from day one. Yamaha's rear skid suspension ride history doesn't agree with that. My best riding bud always was loyal Yamaha, finally gave it up 2011 for the poor ride. I fully agree on shock rebuilding.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    I totally agree mezz! I've seen what has happened with the "electronic", and high tech shocked skids of the past years. Costly, frequent trade up, or rebuild is a must in order to stay dialed in where you want to be. Can Smart Shocks get across this hurdle? Time only will tell, hopefully Smart...

    New truck

    If comparing to a 6.2 GM, there is no comparison. The 7.3 power and torque is over whelming compared to the 6.2, at a much lower RPM. The same goes for the 6.6 GM truck engine. Not enough CID to compete.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Yeah, well, perhaps? However, with mechanical only designs there is less to fail on the trail? Out on a big mile, many days trip I like the "kiss" method. Jmo, and I've enjoyed all the discussions an d info presented here!

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Sadly, that's wishful thinking on your part dfattack. "Pure bred Yamaha"? Yeah well, I gave up on those lies from Yamaha some11 years ago. I too believed in the "All new, all Yamaha snowmobile". I finally realized it was not to be, and never was to be. However, the only "Pure", was, "Pure BS"...

    New truck

    Good luck fuji! My daughter in laws 3.0 liter diesel is now just over 2 years old, and has spent over half of that time in the dealers shop not able to be used. Nothing but raw BS from GM representatives. I can't list all the different things they have tried in order to fix the problems. They...
