Why all the hype over an accessory plug, changeable bearings and fixed hand warmers. Are you kidding me? Please tell me this company has more to offer for their top end trail sled.

(Haven`t you guys ever tought about testing your sleds in the gaspe coast, with snowfall surpassing imagination and freezing temperatures, you`ll have it all, a test facility here would be just a perfect fit for both you guys and the economy of our region) <em>I agree the Gaspe is awesome riding and offers it all including some fair altitude and vert. We have tested there in the past, we did final durability test for Vmax 4 in Mont Joli with the assistance of our dealer P .Labointe et fils... as for the future... dream on my friend!! cheers cr</em> Hey CR,

I assume you are referring to this response i wrote to Kellys comment: "Dang you nailed it… our new 4 cylinder hybrid uses a lightweight 4-stroke twin engine grafted onto a direct injection 2-stroke twin. The 4-stroke will pull everything up to 8300 rpm then a computer controlled servo disengages from the 4-stroke and locks into the two stroke which only operates between 8300 and 8500 rpm, that’s where it gets superior fuel efficiency and makes equivalent power but only within this narrow power-band.

You guys are stirring up quite a buzz again this year. Can't wait to see this thing. Oh and hey, if it's not too late, could you have the engineers install some working handwarmers and marine grade (waterproof) electric connections and relays? It would be much appreciated by us all.

I say frusrtating because I love to keep up with the new and improved. I would love to keep up to the Jone's but I just purchased an xtx; which I love by the way. So far only one complaint is a crease in the tunnel. I have heard recently that the rtx se (which has the same tunnel) has an updated plate to reinforce the spot where my tunnel has creased. I have called Yamaha Canada but there seems to be some confusion when I tell them it is the same tunnel minus the extension. I have made it clear that the extension is not where the problem is. Anyway some sort of feed back would be appreciated. I know you are busy and I do appreciate the work you put into the website. Thanks a mill. Frustrating as it is I look forward to seeing the 2010′s.

Just added the date to my calender. Could we get some more info on the Yamaha sleds in the snowcross races? Keep up the good work. Mark Chris,
