The power hasn't changed. 150+hp this year, least year, year before . . .
Why would they up the hp though? They already released a belt drive system, they have to leave something for next year or nobody would want a 2014. Maybe they will have an E-tec knock-off next year.
They're getting better every year. I thought the 2012 RMK running boards were hard on boots, these new ones will chew though them; at least you won't have to worry about snow and ice build up. If the belt drive system really is 6.5lbs lighter than the ol' chain drive, does that mean more power...
