Try riding it in trees all day. Come home tired and wake up sore.
That being said I would like to try one. You never know it might be the ticket.

Thoughts;
Nice engine package!
Minus the total engine refinement/package (which sounds/looks killer), It's still the same platform as my 15 LE MPI 162' 3'.
I'm thinking I'll wait to re-up until they have some time with this engine combination and Yamaha releases a new chassis.

Knowing Yamaha bikes I suspect this motor would work fine at 300 hp on race fuel, then some lightweight bits here and there
...hmmmm....yamaha lists weights for their dirt bikes, side by sides, AND atv's! Hell, they EVEN list a weight for their F'n pianos! ...but yet, they "NEVER EVER" list a weight for their sleds?
...I CHALLENGE SNO WEST, AND CHRISTOPHER, to put one of these sleds on a scale! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ACTUALLY report the news, instead of passing on what a manufacturer WANTS you to post!

Not being a smart azz but so was the Cat 1100T and that thing was a turd in I.M.H.O.
Pretty sure the after market can get some big power out of the viper, mine even runs......
Getting the weight off gets expensive....

Same as all the other previous Yamaha sleds, spend BIG $$$$$ for big power and lightweight parts and in one year lose your azz when you dump it for a light 2 stroke.......
Next year should see a FLURRY of activity from the aftermarket Turbo Boys.
Honestly, I was thinking we just might have seen a Yamaha manufactured 2-stroke for Cat. Still wonder if we might next year...I really wanted to see an HPDI 2 stroke.
as far as engines go, Yamaha is probably the safest bet for a brand new motor design.Nice engine package!

You know it will get weighed just as soon as someone gets their hands on it.
Gotta say I'm real impressed with what Yamaha has done on the new turbo set up. Ground up motor build specific for a turbo. And all those controls to make sure you don't blow it to kingdom come with a bad load of fuel. They put a lot of thought and engineering into that motor.
I would say this thing will run way better than the turbo cat sled for sure.

...sure would be nice if the "Western Mountain Authority" would actually report FOR THEIR READERSHIP!!!...

B-TX had to be developed for the 60% of their M-TX market in the "Atlantic" market. And it's the doo 1200 killer - that's their growth market. Great way to leverage a 153 tunnel/chassis. Gotta love the motor tech.
Great stuff Christopher. The Yammy OEM industry info is very cool. Thanks.
