2015 sleds are out. Whose the big winner. Buying or not, which brand would you choose?

They all have something to offer but from what I read, this was the year of change for Polaris. Last year at this time we were chirping about the YamaCats. I've owned 3 out of the 4 and would remain with Ski Doo when it's time for a change.

poo has the best snocheck program this yr by far I am thinking it is to get the mountain guys to buy instead of holding out until they drop the 800ho in the rmk.

I think my 11 is sold if it is gone I will be buying a hold over 14 m8sp this week.
sold my trail sled last mo don't think i am going to replace it. if I do it will be a blue and white Yamaha in the crossfire chasi what ever they call that .

Jr37,
I'm in that boat right along with you, but I have my eye on those new 800R e-tecs. I was on doo's website making my dream sled and with the x-rs package there are only about 13000 reasons why I won't have one for the 13-14 season.

They are all to expensive for me:(, I'll stick to the Vintage sleds.:cool:

I hear ya, it's lot $$ to part with.

Pretty surprised how close its so far. I haven't voted yet, still studying trying to choose.

To me to the blue/white Viper is best looking sled. Interested in Polaris swithcback with all improvements, but don't really care for rear/bumper so low. Graphics are just ok.
Ski doo is tried and true and with strong warranty may sway me. Colors are fugly so would have to go all black.

I have not snochecked in over 10 yrs always do the non current cant see dropping a extra 3500 just so I can have the newest ride . and if poss I usually ride the last run of a sled for 3 yrs and let them work the bugs out of the new models.
the only yr I regretted that move was when I got a zr900 from black magic with the 1010 set up in it and was getting spanked buy very light mod f7's in 03

I remember the Lake Placid limited edition MXZ & YES that was FUGLY & 15 lineup close to that. You would think doo would have learned..... FUGLY then FUGLY now. lol :)

Beauty is only skin deep (yeah, yeah, I know -- "but ugly goes straight to the bone"). In all seriousness though, what a sled looks like is not as important to some as it is to others. It's what's under the hood and/or seat that matters most to them. Regardless of brand.

Last new sled was a 1979 Yamaha Exciter! Seriously pondering snowchecking a 60th anniversary 600 Switchback, has anyone out there rode a 2015 with the new suspension?

Never would've guessed it would be this close!!

anyone get the feeling Arctic cat/Yamaha agreement is benefiting Yamaha more?
