TCG Snowmobiling Discussion

[Broke EF]

I've never even ridden a snowmobile, but I am pretty sure if I stick around this section over winter I will buy one. My poor car

I mean Yamaha has a new 2020 utility venture with Arctic Cat, the Transporter (Norseman in the AC lineup). Same C-TEC2 600 in all their 6000 sleds.

 

[PANDA]

That is a current model with a cat motor. Cat released info on a few 2021 models today. (midsize blast)

Saw that leaked oil quart picture on Yamaha forum. It would blow my mind if they brought back a true Jap 2-stroke.

 

[PANDA]

The Yamaha engineer at Haydays told me they are going to release a new mid size sled next year. My guess it will be rebage of the Artic Cat Blast. Maybe call it a sno sport since they already brought back the sno scoot. Cats blast is a single cylinder 400cc sled.

He also LOL'ed when I asked about a 2 stroke. Maybe just downplaying it. BRING BACK WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT.

remake the real SRX, triple two stroke ripper. kthx.

Have to admit, having a mid-size sled for each segment is great. The mini-Alpha skid is fuckin awesome.

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Can someone explain why I want a 65hp 400cc snowmobile? I think I'm missing the point.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

It’s a “tweener” sled. Big enough for a kid/young teen but not a full size, full power sled.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Snosport in 3...2...1...

Go ride something smaller its a fucking riot. Sno scoot, 340 enticer, hell even a 90's 440.

[Yaj Yak]

any of you sally dicks heading north today to the UP to ditchbang your 174" mountain sleds or no?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

We go snowmobiling, not mudding.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i dont know what that means but ive seen quite a few friends head north and it looks legit

buddy's house has 3' on the ground.

near him

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah, 3' at Krupps. Apparently the literal middle (laterally and longitudinally) of the UP got 2' of snow from that last storm. Sent that picture to the crew. Got like 3 responses. Driving by myself boys.

 

[Yaj Yak]

poseda get dumped monday up there too again.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

The skeeter already got some business.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the first cams i pulled up today i thought were leftover pics from last spring.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

apparently that photo is live and going to update because it's pulling whatever the current photo is. Went from overcast to sunny when I refreshed.

 

[CuzzinOlaf]

Heading up early tomorrow morning for the first ride of the season. Gonna be out at my buddy's place near Big Bay, hopefully it is good.

 

[Chester Copperpot]
