well that sounds a lil outlandish,,,say it out loud and see if u dont agree

 

[2manykids]

What would you like to see changed ? Wider track? What is there left to do? Maybe make it a bit lighter? Whats that old saying ... if it isnt broke

speaking of weight,compared to the summit,how does the m8 compare?i'm kinda' shoppin' for a summit,however the cats have alot to offer.never rode one so convince me why i should buy an m8 sno-pro.need help with deciding on the"best for the dollar" sled out of the box.don't mind doin' some mods,but don't want to add another grand to a new sled to get it dialed in!!

162 Hp out of the box. telescopic handle bar riser. awesome seat with tons of storage. Fox float shocks all around. what else do you want to hear?

I would think that with the 2012 epa standards comin up that cat is going to have to do some changes. Perhaps more 4 strokes or follow doos lead and go direct injection.

from the magazine reviews i've read, the XP will out climb a cat (not by much) and there smoother on the trail but the Cat excels every where else. boondocking, side hilling and just overall handling. I don't have experiance with the new ones, its just what i have read. I think the cat can take more of a beating compared to the XP.

not necessarily sayin i want things changed its just that there prob will be some drastic changes soon and im just curious to know what they may be. dont get me wrong i love the m series just that time a year to talk about the new models again and i get pumped

 

[dooryder]

ya had the 09 wrote er off and came dangerously close to doin the same to the 2010 earlier in the week,,,,sooo its to early in the season to say if ill be gettin the 2011 lots could happen lol

2011 Cats, as well as the rest of the manufacturers, will have Bold New Graphics. Hard to say if there will be any earth shattering changes to the line up due to the economy. I'll bet they drop the M1000 as it isn't a great seller for them, and that will be unfortunate, as it is a great sled when set up.

 

[macronut]

Well got this from a good source so I decided to share, looks like Cat kept the 162 track, Turbo'ed an 1100 cc Two Stroker. Machine weights in at 400lbs Dry... Welcome to Cats newest breed of Pussy: On a side note I was bored and fooling around with Photoshop, we can all dream thoug hey hehe

WOOOHOO! You hit the nail on the head with "bold new graphics"!!! I get so excited every year to see how the decals changed LOL NOT! I'd like to see something new also... maybe a new chassis?
