Ryan, do you have any seat time on the new chassis carving with a crust?
If so, how does it react?

No crust, just two days of deep powder and a day of packed snow with settled powder. In those conditions, it's great.

I look at that long spindle and wonder what kind of feedback it gives to the handlebars.

Guess I will have to buy one and find out

No storage built into the seat. But they do have a cool optional storage system.

Yes, on Sno Pro and HCR only.

"bohner" I knew you guys in congress didn't do anything but surf the internet.

It handles different than the M for sure. It goes through powder and deep snow better than the M-Series. The suspension is better than anything Cat has offered before. A lot better. The power is great, it's the same 800 Suzuki, just going through a chain instead of a gear drive. It's a lot more positive handling. You know, like how the M-Series feels like a surfboard with a track driving it in deep snow? The M800 feels like it's driving more on the skis than on the body.

The base M800 comes in black, but you don't get the vertical post steering system.

You can get the M1100 four-strokes in a black 50th anniversary edition and a white limited edition.
