No way doo still #1 by a long shot AC & Poo close #2 nip & tuck with AC new platform selling very well for 2012. WI northwoods more doos than I can count Watersmeet to Lando on a Friday afternoon is all XP yellow going north. Maybe where you live many poos don't know but pro ride was not accepted quickly by the Faithful. From what I see around here doo is the sales leader by like at least 60% & others pick up the remaining 40%. I'm a Yam rider so just saying what I see out there in both WI northwoods & WUPMI.
did poo 800's ever get straightened out?

Have read many SOMEWHAT reliable sources saying Poo took over #1 spot. I have no facts or anything to back it up, just telling you what I've heard. Seems XP Yellow likes to stick to trail 3 with their slednecks and monsters stickers and loud cans. Head into eastern western (i know i know LOL) U.P. and the XP Yellow dissapears. All I saw riding the Iron River/Sidnaw/Amasa area was Rush Rush Rush.
600 SDI. Best sled I've ever owned.
My observations, too. But I recognize it might be a regional thing. I ride mostly LP & eastern UP. Western UP is closer to AC & Polaris home turf so maybe more of them there. Back when I started riding I saw more AC & Polaris than anything, with Doo coming in third and Yami fourth. Since the Rev came out the Doo numbers increased while AC & Polaris decreased. Yami remained fourth. Please keep in mind this is only my observations of sightings and not sales. It is not scientific and I have no vested interest in what brand I see the most of or the least of and since it is based on my memory, it's no way conclusive of anything.

Whitedust,
What are you basing that on? Ski Doo has never had 60% of the market. I've read lately too where Polaris is very close, if not back, to #1. Don't forget you have to add in mountain sled sales too. 60%? Come on. That leaves 40% for the other 3 and that's way off!

Not a big deal to me who is #1 really don't care but I see those dang XPs everywhere.lol In the narow Iron River/Sidnaw/Amasa twistys I saw a lot of Cats ideal sled for those narrow trails not so good for me on Yam but l like the area & lack of traffic & ride there often. Mags will say something next Fall about market placement & not sure how they know either $ numbers & unit sales very hush hush hush from OEMs & so much in inventory at dealers too. Poo doing lots better than past years but would be difficult to knock doo out of #1 market slot. If you can find unit sales proving poo #1 I would like to see it. All mags said doo still number #1 in 2011 with 2012 line up.
Probably not a good thread for these market posts since about poo 800 just saying what I see & read. I'm not a brand specfic rider in anyway meanless less to me I like them all & would buy any brand 4s crossover out there & AC XF has my attention as would an Adventure 4s but does not exist. So if you poo guys want to be #1 in sales ok with me but really don't think so.lol
I talked to my riding buddy out west Friday and he informed me he was snowchecking a RMK for 2013. Then I talked to him on Sunday, after 2 days of doing more research..... At the 1/3 way point thru the season, he was reading reports that most guys were happy with their 2012 Poo's. But now that the season is well on the downslope and "Real Mountain" riders who put the sled the the test (not trail riders) have put some Hours on them (notice I didn't say miles) and pistion skirts are failing, as well as cyliner sleeves are breaking apart and falling down crankside. He has now decided against buying a POO. This guy is very detailed oriented and knows how to read thru theS on forums. Regardless, it was enought to steer him clear from one. Even if it comes with a 4 yr motor warranty, loosing a weekend of riding from a motor going down isn't worth it to him.
As for Poo being #1, I do see alot more RMK's than I used to out west. But no more than I see AC or DOO's. Asfor here in Michigan, I see 10x the amount of Doos than anything else. I think last weekend in Gaylord I saw 4 Rush's. This is just my observation.

why the xf for a more trail guy I would be looking at the ext trail sled with the coupled suspension dont think you would be as happy on a non coupled x fire .I like them all & would buy any brand 4s crossover out there & AC XF has my attention

Nope..... I did not bring it up I responded to Polarice post on market topic. Same as everybody else this is what I saw on the trail XP after XP & read in mags. Seems to be very important to you that Poo is #1 so ok with me since no way to know. Market placement is interesting to me as a sales & marketing guy. Poo maybe #1 in mountain sleds which is a good thing but I'm interested in trail crossover sleds & what I see on trails in my area & not many pro rides out there or I would have seen them.
I'll dig deeper but thought all 2013 Fs were 128 which I don't like with 1100T just don't think track will hook up or bridge bumps well. Never ridden either model so just looking on net.

I found this information from a little over a year ago. It substantiates the 40% claim for Ski Doo with AC and POO in second place with about 24% each and Yamaha in last place with the balance.
Interesting reading from Powersports Retailers Online. Look at the Industry Overview section.

Haha nice. I did find something online that said skidoo was on top because it's the oldest snowmobile manufacturer. Goes to show you Internet.
