Although I am new to this forum, I have participated in public forums (corvetteforum.com, for example) such as this before. Anyhow, last Saturday, I pulled the trigger and bought an RX-1 Mountain. Although I have been a Polaris only guy for ten years, after seeing the RX-1 in person, I had to make the jump. This is one kick azz sled. Yamaha really did their homework on this sled and got an A+.

Another factor in going with the sled is I own a FX-1 waverunner. If the RX-1 can take the beating that I put on my FX-1, nothing will touch it. I've put on three to four hours per day of W.F.O. (10K RPM) riding on my waverunner without a single problem.

Additionally, I have a Yamaha 115hp FI four stroke outboard on my pontoon boat. Again, no problems whatsoever with the motor.

Welcome to the forum WFO *

You will be pleased with your new purchase,that thing should totally rock,like no rock has ever rocked before.

Just for the sake of conversation,I have a Yamaha 150 outboard. It has been amazingly maintainance free. And this things been around the pond a few times.

So what does WFO mean? wicked flying object ? And you think yes,I bought the RX-1 *

Pete
