Thank you. I’m generally not a fan of Yamaha products coming from the bike world, so I could see the connection to the sled world from there as well. So liquid cooled 500+ would the the priorities? Two stroke for bike it is. More bang per buck size wise FTW. Not like I’m planning on making an on/off anytime soon, which however would be quite fun. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/braaaaaaaaaaaapppppp-whos-riding-what-this-year/248968)._
