15 miles down the road from my house in Green Bay, WI (had my FZ-1 serviced there twice), good guys to deal with.

Wow. This is almost unbelievable? Kills the used Viper market!!!
It's the effect of the A/C frame.

yep yami's held value , until AC merger

I don't intend to aggravate anyone, but how many sleds would Yami have sold the last 4 years without the A/C deal??? My guess is not many??? Perhaps Yami would not even be here???

Notoriously high Arctic Cat depreciation rates that are higher than all other sled manufacturers have poisoned the Yamaha brand, thus depreciating Yamaha sleds faster than pre-A/C involved Yamaha model years.

I chuckle to myself when I see a early 2000's Viper or Venom for sale on Craigslist for 3k and it is sold in a week. Not bad for a 13 year old sled.

Dare I say...the truth?? Those are severe discounts, implying people don't want them, don't ya think? Give me a Viper with R-Motion, AXYS or Pro-R chassis and I'd be on the phone already with my CC.

So your saying Yami better do a new sled/chassis by themselves, or it's over??????????? IDK???

My guess is a'lot more sleds w/out the AC deal. Yamaha would be a'lot better off without the AC deal.

What is "my CC"?

I grew up loving Yamahas, but I'd assume the 2008 sleds they manufacturer and sell as 2017 sleds are profitable, since they don't do R&D anymore. What have they done in the past 10 years? The mono skid? Added a "performance damper?"

credit card...sorryWhat is "my CC"?
Just had a kid tell me he just bought a XRS snowcheck that someone decided not to take and he walked out the door $$16,000 poorer than he walked in.... And theres grass showing around here..... Think that dealer smiled all the way to the bank????
A sucker is born everyday. If I am correct, that would NOT be an 850, probably an 800 that is old technology.
Sad.

No-
Yamaha would probably be out of the sled business if not for this partnership...
What if Textron decides not to renew the partnership contract with Yamaha? Likely Yami would be done..

Polaris deals are out there as well still making me ill when I think about the $11,400 I paid for what is available 2 model years newer at less than $10,000 right now.
I blame crappy weather forecasting.
