We'll know right away as soon as the unveil happens, if Yamaha posts the weight, they never did last year, if they don't we know it won't be an aircraft it will be an aircraft carrier!! I love the Yamaha reliability but I also want what I want and if Yamaha won't build it...well BRP will be my next one. I wonder if Yamaha engineers and product reps read these forums, or even talk to riders? It sure seems like they don't. I'm sure if the other 3 manufactures heard that their customers were jumping ship on masse every year they would act!!
I do think all the manufacturers read these posts. However, the Japenese culture is so different than ours. They think a lot differently and until they allow someone from the U.S. to take the lead on some of their R&D, things are not going to change. I think it's a step in the right direction moving R&D to the U.S. on their sleds. However, if they still insist on making all the decisions from Japan you will continue to get a product that is reliable and lasts forever, but will not be "Lightweight" unless the rider does it themselves. Strictly my opinion though 
While everyone was focused on the new 2015 sleds in West Yellowstone, did anyone else see the new 2016 that was out for testing???
Only ONE of them that I know of, but it was there and being ridden.

Agreed. To a point. There are still the die hard blue guys that don't mind spending money and man hours to get the sled they want. On the flip side, Yamaha could pick up market share if they would produce a sled that is 500 lbs or less dry, with a factory turbo. The sled community knows how reliable Yamaha sleds are, there's no disagreement there. However, when you're riding in ballz deep snow and you get stuck, you don't want to need 6 of your buddy's digging you out. I had a MCX turbo Nytro. Loved the power. However, it was a workout. At the end of the day there is no doubt you were tired. I now ride two Pro RMK 163's, and if I get stuck, I can usually get myself unstuck. I would love to have another Yamaha in the barn, but they're going to have to do better on the weight and "Stock" power.

Odd they didn't post the Viper weight as it is only 22 pounds heavier than the 2014 M8. Add a can and light battery and they are the same.

And last year people said 2014 is the year, not 2015, and the year before was 2013 would be the year, not 2012...
Right now I can't say "Boo" about this one.
Just that it was labeled as "Double Top Secret".
I drove out to West Yellowstone at Midnight on Friday to deliver an urgent package to someone from Yamaha.
While the 2015s are there to be seen and ridden now, it was nice to know the 2016 in its earliest configuration was already on the snow as well getting in some very early testing.

Hey, don't drag me into this.
Ill be the first to tell guys, ride what you have now. If they are coming out with a factory turbo 4 stroke that weighs 417 lbs for 2015 what are you going to do about it today? Nothing.....can't get it until November this fall anyway. You will see all the hot new stuff tomorrow from Yamaha.
oh shucks...now we have copy right infringement on Starbucks double double
Dairy queens double fudge
Fleers double bubble
James Bond top secret
Frigging Yamaha can't even do a double top secret right...
