Has anyone been to any of the shows yet? I have not seen any feedback on here so far. Just curious what looked good and caught your eye.

Hope to go Wausau April 3 to see Vipers & all OEMs. Lots to see this year Yamaha ,AC ,Doo & check out new Indys just for the heck of it but Viper pulling me in & sure lots will be said regarding AC 7000s & Yamaha Vipers it will be interesting to see what OEMS have to say. Will poo crack on 4s??... kind of doubt it but will be fun to ask them. Rep attitude can be revealing & so much new in 4s market this year seems doo putting lots of marketing effort in 900 Ace good to see that & best 4s sled in that class could be huge seller for them not much competition at 90hp 4s with good handling & high mpg. Would have been ideal family sled for me back in the day but just buying (only) for me these days so performance 4s trail sled in my wheelhouse. 2s interesting but not buying any those but fun to keep up with that tech.:)

Going to try to catch the show in Blaine, MN. When it was at the Earle Brown Center it was about 6 min. from work. Little further now but still worth the trip.

Should be a lot more action in the Yamaha section this year. It's been pretty quiet over in their area the last couple of years, even when they gave away free pizza.

no tears. that just means 2 hrs closer to the snow all winter with out rush hr. that is 4hrs a weekend in the truck.

LOL! Very true ezra. I spent 20 years in Eagan and I don't miss the rush hour and all the b.s. of the city. I do miss some of the food, but that's about it. I can ride right from my place up here which is nice. That's when there is good enough snow. You get up this way once in a while don't you now that your bud bought the biz in Webb Lake?

Any feedback from those that have attended so far? I'm going Saturday!
 
Went to Milwaukee show last night. Thought it was pretty good overall. I like the look of the El Tigre alot. The throttle pull on the new 900 ACE is so easy, there is basically no friction at all. I think they are onto something there for sure. Yamacats looked good too. Bottom line is there is so much good stuff out there right now, you can pick and choose what you want for the most part and I don't think you would be let down. Shocks, suspensions, tracks, 4 stroke, 2 stroke, good stuff in every category.

Too bad I didn't know you were there. I arrived right at 4PM went thru the door & wham the Viper so tore into it. Looks well conceived & very much seats you like a Rush too far forward for me & I would need kneepads for sure but all the OEMs fit & finish looked good but protos as always at sneak peek. The doo 900 Ace GSX was crushed with people & I couldn't get close to sit on the sled but played with the engine displays & that 900 Ace is tiny can't weigh much for a 4s. The AC 600 DSI 2s also a very small engine has to be light looks like a very simple design as well. There was no doubt doo is the market leader lots of people then the rest of the crowd evenly split with the other OEMs. I left around 5:45PM picked up docs for each OEM & place was packed so snowmobilers are alive & well. :)
