Phil 1 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Brion Grumpy Santa Considering my BRP dealer would not even take my 2011 e tec gade 800 on trade Yamaha is doing a good job. I paid $12,299 + for my sled FULL RETAIL and they won't give me anything in return 2.3 years and 8,500 miles later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpysanta Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 DOO 4 i am looking it up i am interested... dealers have lots of new leftovers...prices too high people are not stupid to pay that for 1500km ayear .. phil you have to buy a sled that lasts more than 2 .3 years lol. used sleds hard to sell in usa.. canadians go south to buy new sleds and americans come north to sell their used sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doo4adoo Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The other option you might look at is going to Cornwall this weekend. There is another Yamaha demo ride unless it was cancelled. I am up north so I cant go but call and see if they have the new Viper. Will be closer than the Cat demo Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper2 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 read through the original thread that is now locked and not sure where the brand bashing jumps out. gizz is the first o mention but no one accused him of it. the funny thing the thread was started by yammy riders and they/we were complaining about our own brand. i love ow i can be told how my sled is too heavy and dont ride for crap but i cant point out any other sleds shortcomings.

You better re-read from the top and put brand or ownership aside. I don't think the bashing was referring to anything i said. I thought that entire thread was civil, just some good debate on the general forum but it's fine. Let's just move on.

Sorry Gizz not accusing you of bashing at all I think you mis understood my position. I did re read the thread from the top that is why I posted that. I feel exactly how you do just some good debate and very civil and no reason to shut it down. Sorry took so long to reply just got back from a week in Maine lots of snow but a little too warm.

Sorry took so long to reply just got back from a week in Maine lots of snow but a little too warm. Was thinking about Maine myself for a short trip mid march but we are hoping Gaspe is still good 3rd week of March. It gets thin in towns but usually the riding is still very good. We'll find snow somewhere. Maine is actually a longer drive for us so if it holds we may just go to Shawinigan and figure it out from there.

Yea drive sucks for sure 760 miles from my house to the place we stayed at near Madawaska. Can drive to RDL in less time but it is a fun trip we rent a house for the week and do day loops lots of trails in the county Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't think two many dealers would with a cracked tunnel. My dealer wants my 12' 1200 GSX with 6500 miles as soon as possible! Tunnel was repaired by Doo to their specifications. If the repair was good enough for me why should they not trade? The Doo rep at the demo ride said "Oh a 2011". What you thinking of getting Jim? I rode the Viper LTX nice sled but it was a PROTOTYPE not calibrated at all. I will wait a year before I purchase. Looking at left over 2012 or 2013 for next year...

Looking at left over 2012 or 2013 for next year... I've actually deceided to keep it another year, nothing interesting from Doo. 6500 miles is nothing for the 1200. I'm going to swap out the shocks for next year, maybe a pb80. I bet that tunnel cracked on that steep embankment last year, that was the side against the tree. Moroneys has 2 leftover 1200 X packages, might be able to get a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
