2012 Sleds - Sneak Peek - Edmonton

[Mare]

there was a beer tent?

Didnt see a beer tent, but that doesnt mean there wasnt a lounge upstairs. Never went up there. :d

 

[tmix]

lounge never even thought of that???

 

[RUDY]

went as well,very very glad i did...personally i don't care for the looks of the new Cat,as Mare said the cluster brackets are very cheap,i dunno the weight on the m8 but they do fell a bit heavy compared to Doo and Pon the up side i did get to see the New Polaris Assault 155 i snow checked,very impressed with it,summer will be a long wait....Looked at the new Doo's as well almost fell over when the guy said "154 Freestyle $15,300 plus tax"

You do know what XP stands for don't yah? Xtra Pricy. Doo is falling behind IMO, especially on pricing.

I agree with you that pricing is getting up there however technology doesn't come cheap. Comparing the sleds, Doo is into it's 5th year on the XP platform. The other guys (800's) are just now catching us with first year platforms. What's gonna happen in '13 when "BAZINGA" we lay down another smackdown like we did back in 08'? It's much easier to play with a lead than catchup IMO.

Cat looked to get alot of views.... I had a good hug for the 800 163 poo !

BAZINGA, ....really, no really?



Now he's passing himself off as a g&y intellectual, what's doo's next "Big Bang"

 

[snopro]

You don't think their gonna sit on their hands for 2013 do you? Look back over the years, big changes every 5 years. It's like clockwork. :d

 

[MP Kid]

looks like sittin on their hands for 2012.

You bet! they'll never give up trying!

What year was it when the Poo trailing arm patent run out, and then Doo had one too?

Ever since then, the Dollar's been down,
What will they 'doo' now that the tables have been turned around?



Oh Crap, there's an election apon us, more promises to hold up the "motherland"

 

[snopro]

What year did the patent run out. I'm not much on Polaris history.

 

[RUDY]

Polaris had the trailing arm until 2004 then 05 is when they went to the IQ with the Fusion 900

 

[MP Kid]

Actually, its part of doo's history.

Having memory problems already?

Doo had trailing arms on their race sleds way back in 78' Are you telling me that Polaris's patent had run out in 77'?

 

[MP Kid]

There we go! Now the old synapses are firing! Who said apple IIe's were dead?


Back to the original beef here; Just saying it'll be interesting to see how doo will fair the rising dollar?

Think about it they've had a good resurrection since the F/S body, and yes I'll give credit where credit is due, some great aggressive marketing early on, with a good product has brought them to where they are today.

So again Snopro, what's the next "Big Bang" that the general public will have to wait for two years to see?

 

[snopro]

I'm not privy to that information anymore but I'm sure we will back to lightest in class for the mountain segment. I would expect you will see a significant horsepower increase from Rotax or maybe Aerocharger? They are after all helping that company work with the ETEC. You got any idea's where you would like your tax dollars to go. lol.

I'm still confused where you were headed with the patent thing?I'm not arguing that Polaris wasn't the first company to put IFS on a production sled but patents do run longer than the time frame you are talking about.

polaris fans can thank doo for infringing on their coupling patent in early 2000....otherwise they would have had to wait for PERC like cat did....lol

Used to race Sno pro Formula 1 twin trackers on the old NWSA oval circuit back in the day. Not quite the legend that Snowmobile Recyclers was though. Lol.
