I would sure like to see the new M800 includes as well...not sure why they didnt unless Cat just didnt have one to give.....
since they've come out that's all Ive heard the "1100T this 1100T that" im honestly quite sick of it and wanna hear about the 800 its just not fair
You may well be right, I wonder if its because they cant get it EPA compliant with their current technology, thus pushing the cleaner 4 stroke instead?...that will surely suck if thats the case....I have noticed over the last year or so a pretty large contigent of 4 stroke riders moving to the turbo 2 strokes do to weight and handling...if it does happen that cat drops the 2 stroke, I hope they refine the 4 strokers weight to the point that the other manufacturers are forced to step up their sleds as well...other wise the weight wars of the last 5 seasons are going to die and our sleds are going to stagnate where they are or gain in weight........
I snowchecked 2 new pros this year strictly because of the handling. I have been a doo rider since 98. I also just wanted a change. As far as the cost goes the 12 doo was only $250.00 more than the poo. I got a 4 year warranty with the poo and could have gotten a 3 year warranty on the doo. It may not have the power I am used to, but that can be fixed. It does not have the weight I am used to either
No test footage of the M8? Seem bizarre.. give mtn sled of the yr to one without even reporting ANYTHING on the closest potential contender??
AKsnowrider, I hear you, honestly I don't think there will ever be a sled that does everything better that all other sleds, all the time. To me it makes sense to ride them all and buy what feels best to you. To me, the Pro was fun to ride because it rolls easy without feeling to unstable when up on edge. The narrow boards would take getting used to and I'd definitely have to do something to add some juice to that motor. It feels week.... but makes a good mark. For me, the lack of power takes away a large part of the fun factor. Bottom end snap is where its at
Now a Pro chasis, slightly wider boards with better snow evac, with an E tec engine would rip!

...and having your sled burned down for 3-4 weeks in the middle of the season...
...and since tree riding is so important, how does that fit with the turbo, who's only advantage is in the point and shoot arena...
...i've watched the turbo boys get pretty disaffected with their no problem turbos for everyday riding...
...BUT, if tree riding isn't a priority, the 1100t looks pretty inviting...
