Are you talking the new "Copy Cat" model? Pending law suits is how the story goes.

kind of like a hollowed crank shaft with the pork chops mostly removed for a light weight more free spinning rotating mass?

Like to hear any, and all.
Looking at pulling trigger on 800 PRO-R or Indy

Go for it.
Rode my buddy's S800 last weekend. EXTREMELY impressive performance and great handling, but you can tell they took all of the weight and balancing out of the motor as it shakes like the paint mixer at Menards at idle and does not smooth out when riding. They finally have something that will beat my other brand 700, but after 10 miles I could not wait to get back on my sled. My 700 2-stroke felt as smooth as my wife's 1200 Rotax after getting off the S800.
As a Polaris stockholder I was very impressed and disappointed all at the same time.

Kind of off topic but since someone else brought up the vibration, thought I'd chime in. When I first fired up the Rush 6, after being on Yams for the last 5 years I was surprised at the vibration in the bars, thought something was wrong. Yamaha motors twice as smooth. That said, Rush adjustability is amazing, oil usage makes owning this two stroke a non factor when considering $150 oil changes. Rush handles great but once you get used to the planted front end weight of the Yam, the Rush is a bit less stable in corners on the trail, although it does turn now with ONE, yes one, triple point on it. (took 2.5 hrs to get the ski bolt lined up)
Not really needing an 800, but there's deals all over the place on left over 2014's. So that's where I'm being led.

I felt the same on the vibration thing when I rode a Doo 800 last week. $150 oil changes? = would like to know where so I never take my sled there! For me it's $7 for an oil filter and 4 qts Mobil 1 0-40 @ $5/qt. + my labor and beer.

Pretty hard to get the vibration out of 800's and larger. Have you ever watched a Cat 1000 idle?

Groomer - quit bragging about how mechanically proficient you are.
There's some things I just don't do/try, although if I wanted the frustration and 3 hours aggravation, I probably could.
