Yes, but it will also only have 150cc's per cylinder!

Oh, I love these rumors! Last time I heard Yamaha was producing a Turbo, they came out with the XTX. Wow! It changed my life! 
That's why I'm riding a M8.
I heard from my third cousin's roommate in college that talked to a guy in a mexican jail that Yamaha HAS an Apex/Nytro mix sled with the Apex motor producing 180+ ponies (naturally) and would weight 485 lbs. If it's true, I will put cash down right NOW!

So they're replacing the Nytro with the old Bravo on the race curcit! Brilliant! They will finally be competitive.
I said this last year, how come I can take a bunch of after market stuff and drop 100lbs off an Apex, but Yamaha has done nothing....actually made it HEAVIER! So their solution is to make an under-powered and HEAVY Nytro. Is it possible for Yamaha to create a 485lbs and 180HP 4-stroke mountain sled? YES! So why don't they? They would dominate the market....good-bye Ski-dung! How can a dumb hillbilly from Idaho figure this out, but an executive in Japan can't?
I'll be hangout with the Arctic Cat guys until they do....see ya!

THeY ARE BRINGING BACK THE INVITER
Looks like a Vector or somehting. Sure doesn't look like a Nytro or any other rider forward sled
IDK I hope it is better then what I am thinking that it is
Here is what i know
What i know about big companies is that the people making the decisions don't really even hear us and they really don't even hear the dealers!!! Which i know is very sad but it is the simple truth??? The only thing they (yamaha corp) respond to is unit sales and the competion. So the only thing that will change things is poor sales. Some of the good aftermarket companies (companies that build boost products)insert your favorite here are the only thing that has kept yamaha legitimate in the mountains!!! So lets not get our hopes up. I do believe they make the highest quality sleds!!!! But maybe we would accept something a little less for better performance? The only company that has more enginering might than yamaha is probably ski dont but i dont like that choice either.
Sorry for the long post guys
ps.....and yes i do have a fair amount of experience with large national companies i do speak from experience!!

In some respects I would have to both agree and disagree. We can rant on the internet all day long and while the corporations may or may not have spies lurking around we do not know. I had bought my wife a 2007 Phazer MTX in hopes of going all 4 stroke. In our eyes (especially hers) the thing was a turd. I usually don't write letters to companies, however this time I did, explaining what I thought the short comings were and left it at that feeling that I had vented and never expected to recieve any response. Almost a week to the day later I had a phone call on my cell phone from the Corp. Office in California, a guy from Yamaha wanting to talk to me! We talked for about 45 minutes to an hour about the type of riding we do and what I thought could be done different with the Phazer. He wanted to know what we replaced it with (2007 RMK 600 HO 155) and how we liked it. I didn't hack on him about it. He thanked me and that was that. I felt pretty good about the thought that my letter had actually mattered. I think that if more people actually wrote an old fashioned letter (using actual paper!) with some honest constructive thoughts they will be heard. Now knowing the way R&D and all that works we won't see it changed over night or the following year, but we could make a difference. It is my understanding (from my old Honda dealer) that companies like Honda and Yamaha have products out that won't be released for up to 4 years or more. As far as legitimate mountain sleds the two I have go everywhere I want them to go and several the competitions won't.....like back to the truck! FOCKER OUT!
I don't think you will find anyone who slags the engines hence getting back to the truck but the chassis is my gripe. There is no legitmate reason in my mind why any company should be making drop brackets as an example out of steel (the list goes on and on). Yami is the only company that does it instead they waste money making header pipes out of Ti to save 2 lbs and putting floats on the front to save another 2 lbs all a significant cost when the true weight savings are right there under their noses, but the thing is on a trail sled it doesn't matter so much about the weight and its cheaper to build, so what do we get stuck with? I hope they got their heads out of the sand this time around and built a real mountain sled but in truth I'm not optimistic. It's going to take a lot more than a 180 hp 4 banger to get my $$ again cause like I said before the engine has never been the issue, otherwise I'll just keep the modded sleds I have.

That must be a reveal from '05 because that looks like a Vector....the most worthless sled ever produced?
Well, ok, I'm going back to Arctic Cat section now.
