Bigfish Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 https://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/?group=SM Somewhat disappointed with the 2020 lineup. Lots of different Sidewinders and Vipers, but not much else. Oh, there is the Transporter a 599cc 2-smoke, which IMO is a step backward Not a fan of 2 strokes.

Touring Turbo model is new. Three of the four two up touring models are traditional Yamaha; I think your TF just increased in value. Brought back the Viper to the line up. Oh, from what I noticed no sled is available in their power surge spring order only! Unlike last year from Yamaha and special order from the other OEM's this year.

zoso Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 A cat made chassis with a cat made 600 cc two stroke with yamaha decals priced way higher than cat. Buy that transporter and you need your head examined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, they need to make a 2 stroke engine. Not use a cat engine. Might as well just buy a cat and save $3k if they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightonalan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 i would buy a cat at crazy discounted prices before ever paying yamaha price.The 2020 yamahas seem ridiculously high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why anyone buys a yamaha these days. And if you wait until mid feb cat will take 5 grand off their latest turbo models. Buy a thundercat for 14k or a sidewinder for 21k two months earlier. That is an expensive two months of riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they are cheap, but the gap to any other top of the line high hp sled is really not that big. Especially if you get one with the 0% finance, which I have yet to see from another manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 On Cat's website the T-Cat is $16395, the Yamaha SRX is $20799. I know which one I'd be buying. And what Zoso is saying is that Cat is notorious for slashing prices near the end of the season and finding a T-Cat for $14k next spring is highly likely. Have a look over at Country Corners website. They are slashing prices to move the left overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat has a bad habit of over producing and dumping them cheap while still in the same model year season. cat resale sucks due to this. Spring order a cat and get stung bad.

I guess I got lucky on my deal than haha... Buying a Sidewinder over the Thundercat was certainly a no brainer, glad I didn't wait until 2020.
