I am looking at possibly getting an 08 Nytro, but am hesitant due to the price to get the power out of it. I have been impressed with Yamaha's 4 stroke dirt bikes, (I have a modded WR450), though have not been around their sleds. I recently sold my 01 Rmk 800 which ran awesome due to my constant habit of playing and tweaking. I ran across a deal that I think is pretty good of $6500 for the 08 model. The other choice is the new Dragon 800 or the 700 RMK. What do you think? Are they comparable? The horsepower is lower than I though it would be for the Nytro. Does it make up for it with torque? Also is the 153 track enough for the deep snow of western wyoming?
Is the Nytro right for me?

Buy it and put a turbo on it. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. It might be a little spendy but well worth it. Very reliable to.

I think you will be disapointed with the power, you will have to turbo, especialy if your used two a 800 two stroke. Also the 700 dragon will have alot more power, or any 700 2 stroke than the nytro. My bud has a 2008 nytro, I love everything about it just needs more power.
If you are the kind of guy who holds on to a sled for 7 or 8 years buy the Nytro spend the time and money and mod it up and never need to touch the motor of burn any more 2 stroke oil. Once modded up it'll run with an 800. If you flip your sleds often you'll spend less going the 2 stroke route. The Nytro takes some time but they really grow on you specially once you've got it working the way it can. Stock the Nytro is a dissapointment.

If you are after a sled to win drag races, a turbo is gonna be a requirement...however, if you want a sled that will boodock with the best of them and bang through the powder then a turbo is optional, IMO. Timbersled skid, different track, and clutching make the Nytro a COMPLETELY different animal that floats and climbs with just about everything out there. The handling is by far the best, especially if you are used to a WR450....you'll feel right at home on it.
All comments above are spot on. I came off an '05 REV 800. I don't miss the power of the 2 stroke 800, I don't miss the smell (never thought much about it until it wasn't there), I don't miss the $$ on oil, I don't miss the top end performance. You have to re-learn a little bit of technique on the Nytro, but it suits my style and I absolutely love it now that it's set up correctly.
