Can't compare the two the Ski Doo is so much better it's not a fair fight. Doo is smoother and handles 100% better. My Yamaha had a vibration from new that drove me crazy. Let me qualify that the Yamaha part was great the Arctic Cat part left a LOT to be desired. 182ray and NSHM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil........you get a chance to feel the pull on that 850? Hi J G B J made me ride the 850 today, of course it's stupid fast and light but the most impressive part is it's handling, it has the least ski lift of anything I've ever ridden and I've ridden a lot of different equipment. Now let's hope Doo drops that 900 Ace turbo in there I'll have one immediate the Gen 4 is really good. I cannot bring myself to buy a 2 stroke.

iceman Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Where did you go today? Yes, the Viper is an Arctic Cat with a Yamaha heart, not a real Japan built Yamaha. Big difference. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alma to roberval. 83 had a reroute near the lake that cost us some time. returned on orange trail via st Andre and trails were fantastic. dark at 4pm so not a ton of seat time. nearly a 200 mile day early season riding but the majority of trails are excellent Bonus Ride and much better than being in Easton. 182ray and racersinc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2 stroke could throw a big pile of shit in your face quick. Great pics and report guys. Making the rest of us jealous for sure! Very good conditions for pre-January. Definitely more likely to have a problem with a 2 stroke - primarily because of the fuel issues. With the stingy oiling, AND the possible problems from bad fuel, I just don't see these as competitors with 4 strokes for high miles. That being said, ANY of them can self destruct and leave you stranded. Sooo much to possibly go wrong in nearly all of the new sleds - mostly electrical.

FYI for future reference Oh you guys are making me so jealous, happy trails boyZ. Scranton 1 I'm an IPhone user and I found that trying to post pics direct from the phone to the NEW site is a complete waste of time. The pics are not resized and are uploaded at their original size and in most cases are too large for the upload. A quick fix I found to that and it's a teadeast one I tell you, email them to yourself and prior to sending the phone asks you to resize them for the send and gives a few optional sizes, working for me. Then save from inbox to camera roll and voila you got pics in a sizeable state for the NEW QR upload. Pain in the a$$ if you ask me.

Had a fun three days, the 23 from Herbertville to St Ray was exceptional yesterday 4 - 6 + new snow on a good base some places it was wind blown and a lot deeper.
