If there's no weight on the site, I'm guessing that either they haven't weighed them, or they still weigh more than doo. IMO.

I don't think Cat's ever been one to publish their weights. At least in recent years you haven't been able to find them on their website.

They havent posted weights yet because these are not production sleds if they posted the weight of the prototype sled then the prodcution sled was off everyone would be jumping them for false weights.

even if it is 545 my M1000 stock weighed around 515-520 and if you can crank the 1100T up to almost 300 hp and still weigh less than a Yamaha thats good news to me.

Cat did not make the 1100 to compete in the lightweight 2-stroke class they made it to take over the heavy 1000 and to go up against the Yamaha

you think they might confuse them for an xp? lol...

Except these are pretty sexy looking! From what I have heard the production 1100 T will weigh in at pretty much exactly where the M1000 was. Still a lot lighter than a Yammy and like earlier posted with a boost controller and 300HP count me in!

A boosted yamaha will go for 1000s of km and only have minor hiccups. Can this new cat do the same? Guess time will tell.

The 1100 is not a new motor. They have had it out for a couple years now it was called the Z1, i also beleive that it has come from the factory with at turbo the last two years in a 121 or 136 track length option. So they got lots of miles on these motors already.

There has been three motors go i beleive this year on turbo yammies in this area. I think some of it was due to guys not running proper fuel for boost level but the crappy thing is if a motor goes on a yammy that aint no cheap repair bill. A buddy toasted his nytro motor and needed pretty much a whole new motor, well that sucked 9G out of his pocket.

Grandfather has an 1100 and he has over 3500 miles on his Z1 with no problems what so ever

Last time I checked an 11 m8 HO ready to ride is within 5 lbs of a 11 summit 800 etec ready to ride, so how much weight really did they need to lose?
