Really need help with this decision. Cat or Yamaha?

Well guess I have come to a decision. Kinda sad but I went by the dealership at Lunch (cat) to get a price and so forth and the salesman was a Di$k. What I dont get is how someone can throw out 15k, just out the door. The guy was talking to sum older Gentleman about the Pro-climb 800 and I was looking at it. He asked if I had any questions " Yes, what can you do on a 2012 Pro-climb 11T Looking to buy this week and still torn between Yamaha and Cat" Looks at me and says "Just wasting your time you might as well get an 800, cause no 4-stroke will ever go were the 800 can, and I only ordered a few extras and those are sold, i knew they wouldnt sell well, so I didnt order many" so i replied" I didnt ask for your opinion sir, and apparently they did all right cause the snow hasnt hit yet and your sold out? Guess i'll run down the street and get a Nytro" and just blew me off. Just find it funny when a 20 something walks through the door and gets blown off, damn and i could have dropped cash.....hmmmm

Always have liked Blue :)


So on another note........Push turbo or something a little more? Really want reliable, I already have a few full mods in the garage that only get ran when its nice ;)
 
nytro with a MCX 240 kit....ride man

I cant believe that guy....I'm in sales and thats crazy:face-icon-small-con

A-Freaking AMAZING!
In today's economy every salesman out there should be working HARD for your sale!

If TURBO is the way you want to go, you would be HARD PRESSED to find more reliable than MCX.

Pick your poison.


By the way, congratulations on your new YAMAHA SLED.
May it provide you with hundreds of hours of trouble free service!!
 
Yeah, those kind of dealers really pi$$ me off. I'll do months, sometimes years of research and go in to finally get what I want.

All I hear from the dealer while I'm telling them what "I" as the customer want, and all I get in return is, "you don't wanna do that" or "you're not gonna be happy with that" or "instead of that brand you should look at these over here."

Drive's me abso-frickin nuts!! I'd rather drive 3 hours to a good dealer and deal with them, especially if they have great service on top of the sale.

I'll get off my soap box now, carry-on. :face-icon-small-win
 
yup, hate trying to deal with someone that is trying to tell me what i want rather than supplying me with what i am saying i want.

so was this achorage S & AC? i've heard both extremes from them. some love 'em some hate 'em. i wasn't that impressed when i have been in there most times. the best cat dealer in the state, arguably the best dealer period in the state, is the cat dealer in talkeetna. i wouldn't disregard the cat just yet the 1100t in the new cat is not a new motor. very proven and cheap to get very reliable 240+ hp.

:PV

Very very true and i have also heard great things about Cat in talkeetna, but it was the straw that broke the camals back on this one. For sure the motor is built proof but it is the chassis i am worried about. I weigh 275lbs on a good day, lol, I have never been afraid of a little extra weight!!!

Not to further bad mouth a dealer, it may have been on Commercial drive and it wasnt AMDS, those guys i like! I ride seadoo's in the summer:sun:
 
IMO MCX 270 Nytro w/Racers Edge rear skid and dont look back. I think there will be alot of disappointed cat fans if they think the M1100 is going to compete with the HP of the Yamaha's. :face-icon-small-dis

and I think there will a lot of disappointed Yamaha fans when the a 5000.00 cheaper sled wax's there ***:becky:
 
I'm as broke as Evel Knievels' a** was after the Caesar's palace jump but I will pay your gas to come here and school me when I'm on a nytro in either boondocking or chute climbin. (Ya it's boosted.....just sayin!)

I dont waste my money on diesels:becky: I like how you guys are comparing a stock sled to your full blown 20000.00 mod sleds, and heck if you boost the above 20000.00 sled were talking Twenty five thousand dollars:face-icon-small-dis for 25K it better cook clean and look me in the eyes as it swallows :face-icon-small-blu maybe we should compare dollars per horsepower :faint:
 
He said it not me, "I am in love with the new Pro-climb M1100T and have been thinking hard about getting this instead of a new Nytro with boost"

To be honest though, I was looking at a 14500 Pro-Climb M1100T and a 11750 Nytro MTX with 3k in boost(Push or MCX), so they would both be in the ball park to start out. Yeah I would get other mods for both but that was going to be the starting point.
 
OK, back to your original question, I am not a 4 stroke fan but I did get to spend half a day riding the new Cats, the 1100T was a blast climbing and playing in open country, I could buy one and have fun, power every where, power to spare, but..............when I took it in the trees I missed the 2 stroke so in the end that is what I bought

so anyway, 14500 for 177HP at 10000 feet stock with a full warranty, very hard to beat! add 500.00 ??for a controller and you have a 15000 dollar sled with 225??HP and I think its in a better handling chassis this new chassis is going to surprise a lot of folks, but that's just my opinion and there are many others:face-icon-small-hap

both good sleds, but do you want last years sled or next years sled???????
