Iron Cowboy Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hey guys, The Snogoer HSOforum is reporting that Cat is comeing out with a suzuki gsxr motor in a new sled to compete with the Yami rx1. They say it will be lighter and handle better than the yami! Wow I knew it would only be a matter of time, but that was fast! I have two friends that sno-checked rx1's and are still waiting for delivery. Apparently yami wants to make sure they get as many bugs worked out as possible? That or they are sitting in the crate on the loading dock because of the shipping back-up? Anyone out there have one on the way? Man can you think of a more exciteing time in snowmobile history? Just imagine the advances-- a sled that gets 30+ miles to the gallon that produces 150 horse power with a life expectancy of 50,000 + miles I cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Toys Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Iron CowboyPretty important weekend coming up for my younger brother. He’s drag racing his Yamaha in Pomona Ca. for the NHRA championship in his stock class snowmobile. His first race is 11/8/02 if they don’t get rained out being they are predicting rain through sat. He does like his Yamaha’s. Pretty dependable snowmobiles. I had 2 exciters in 76&78 when I was younger and they were trouble free and go like you know what? He did say before he left that he would get Polaris or an Artic Cat to run to and it’s his reaction time at the lights that help him win. The races should be on ESPN 2 this weekend. This is his exciting time in history especially if he gets 1st place to be the champion this year! Small town <Winger MN> guy in the nationals sounds good to me!“FISH” www.icesaws.comTHINK COLD & ICE ------------------http://www.icesaws.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elusivecrappiecatcher Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I have herd the same thing about cat. The problem with the RX1 is that it is so heavy 620 pounds with fluids. And they don't get nearly 30+ miles to the gallon. it is around 15 to 17mpg. I know alot of members from www.snowest.com forum that have RX1's that whish they wouldn't have gotten one. but others say they really like it. I like the RX-1 but it is on the heavy side. but i like the new innovation that it brought to the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
