Actually I think you are wrong. Yamaha realized with the dismal number of sleds sold they could not make enough money on sleds.....so they decided to build rock solid sleds to get you to buy other Yamaha products. Worked too didn't it? I mean would you buy a Polaris motorcycle?
And the obvious question if they couldn't make enough money why not just quit? My opinion on that, it's not the Japanese way to quit.
and they still take the trouble to make a sled when they don't care about the market or if they make money because they can still say..."we make a snowmobile and Honda doesn't"...and that is also the Japanese way...
Yamaha and Honda's bad blood goes back to motorcycle engine copyright issues 55/60 years ago.
Heck Honda just might make one sled with the only intent of it having Yamaha sell one less....
If Yamaha keeps waiting year after year to release their great sled, I think in a few years they might not have any customers.

Don't worry my man, I didn't take it offensive. I was just saying, don't shoot the messenger. Even if the message is in code. D_nt _ org_t to d_i_k yo_r _va_t_ _ e!
You have to keep in mind that the mountain segment is NOT their primary focus. They are working the trail sled market segment.
We have happen to be the group that makes a lot of noise complaining about how we get treated like the red headed step children.
This year it looks like we get the MTX version of the Viper.
I think everyone will be happy with the first edition of the Viper MTX.
Its a MAJOR step in the right direction for Yamaha.
HUGE step forward from the Nytro chassis, and LOTS of opportunity for us to Mod them and begin the refining/tuning process.
7 hours, 45 minutes and I get to release ALL the details.

Viper MTX?
I have been a Yamaha guy for many years now. All of my buddies have switched to either Doo's or Poo's.
Both my son's were Yamaha guys too, but last year I blew up my 14 year old's Supercharged Phazer (too much boost @ low elevation..my fault), and sold my 18 year old's 08 Nytro. Replace them with 2011 & 2012 Summit 154 x.
I still ride my bone stock 2010 Nytro.
Last spring I went on a trip to Chatter Creek by Golden, BC. This is a Cat-Skiing area, but they open it up for sledders the last three weeks. There is approx 30 room, which only allows max 60 sledders.
I was the only Yamaha there!
Took a lot of ribbon from everyone. I was called "Papa Smurf". I sluffed it off and explained to them that if they wanted to be better riders, they should jump on a Nytro and ride it for a day! No one took me up on my offer.
During this trip, I rode a couple of the "Doo's" and was so impressed with the agility and the power I snow check a 2014 Summit when I got home.
Ironically, when it came time to take the sled this year I backed out and my buddy took it, as my Yamaha Dealer told me that a new mountain sled is coming out in 2015.
Sorry about the long story, but the end result is...... If this 2015 is just an "MTX" version of the Viper with a 130HP Nytro engine.....I'm snow checking a "Doo"...again!
Feeze
Btw Christopher....we are going to be in your neighbourhood next week...Monday - Saturday...... Maybe will see you out there.
