Yamahas going big in 07

[ewelin]

Big changes... I've seen a couple post thoughout the web of the 07 Yamahas.... Pretty interesting design and in less than a week we'll actually get to see it. In the mean time you can check out [url=http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/sno/media/07snowIntro-stream.aspx:6899e]this site[/url:6899e] for a quick intro to it. It'll be interesting to see what they've got up their sleves.

07 is going to be a great year to buy a sled hopefully we have a better winter next year

i think the yamaha is going to be a smaller sled hopefully lighter also it would be nice if they got a lighter ditchbanger type sled with 120+ hp but the speculation seems to be pointing to 80- 100 hp cant wait to see everything this year

I'm curious to see what it is... Part of me think it's something to complete with skidoos freestyle. On that video Blaze mentions how much smaller it is... Will be interesting to see it

found these pics as well...

Interesting look they've got going.

[strangeland2]

yeah i ve seen the pictures and from what it shows i like it not sure why ...and i cant believe they would pay an overpaid rider to act overly excited about a sled that is being targeted at the freestyle riders... in the video he mentions attempting a double backflip with it so i was thinking a ditchbanger,snocross, or freestyle sled

i suppose a freestyle with the right engine would be ideal for this because of its compact size and lightweight though

maybe its going to double as a midentry level and snowcross chassis?

[ewelin]

I'm definitely going midentry level... with how small it was described.. I can't wait to see all of it and see what it is... should be interesting.

[ewelin]

Here we go.... some more pics... Must say it's an interesting look they are going for... Can wait to see exactly what it is....
