agree, can't read the whole thread, obviously I could pay to be a member but I'm not on the site enough to justify it for me, I'm not a guy that can afford a '13 pro rmk, but it sure is fun to read about

You would think they would save the biggest news for last though? I don't think narrow bars tops a belt drive.
I guess Team Tied could be a possibility.
I still think a small HP increase may be the final upgrade.
Or a TSL like Cat did!!! That worked out great!
I bet you're right.....something like direct injection or some additional power...another 8-10 should be easy..???
The same stuff MH is posting can be found on Facebook, just need to "Like" Polaris Snowmobiles.
I know, just like reading all the rumor talk about what will be news tomorrow??? Turbo would be BA but kinda doubt it IMO.
I've never snow checked a sled....how do I do this, and why can't I do it now...or now...or how about right friggin' NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the guys in my office think that I just found out my old lady is preggers or something. They don't understand how I can be so excited over a "machine"!

Lol, well it seemed like a good idea... in theory.
Direct injection @ 160ish HP would just be icing on the cake. If that was the case I think I would seriously consider having to buy another new sled next year.

completely different application on the harley. not sure where you ride but i haven't seen any belt drive harley's in 3 feet of powder for hours on end? i didn't say there was a guaranteed issue with the open belt drive but it is a decided possibility. day after day of ice and snow getting chewed up by the belt could eat it up pretty quick. time will tell. hopefully i will be proven completely wrong. luckily, history is on our side, since it wouldn't be the first time... just ask my wife!

You better quit while you are ahead.
Jerk that turbo off and put in a box...until October when your 13 comes.
LOL
I wouldnt' worry too much about the carbon fiber frame members if they are done right. Obviously, many people have had issues with the carbon fiber bumpers on the 11and 12 models. However, I have had several carbon fiber mountain bikes and I have abused them without breaking anything. It can be done and here's hoping that they learned their lesson with the bumpers and have the right design for the application.
I think all these threads are fewer than 75 posts...so you should be able to see all of them if you are a basic member.
OR you can camp out on the treadmill and see all of them come through.

We haven't even seen the completed sled yet, and you guys are whining about a belt drive cover? Give me a break!
Tomorrow they add a bigger motor and Friday they tell us they are selling for $6k MSRP!
I'll take two!
I wish 2/10/12 was a mid season release date so I could buy it and ride it this year! Cat guy jumping ship! Just wish you could get a 800 RMK in a 144.

I like the belt drive but not the brake location. If the belt breaks, you are free wheelin
