I was told that the surprise for Feb 8th IS the ZR 700. We'll see.

a ZR 700 would definitely be nice but hardly qualifies for the "HOTTEST THING TO HIT THE SNOW" as they claim on their website i hope to see a 700 but i also hope to see a high performance four-stroke that will keep yamaha in their place

I heard it was going to be a Catfire or something like that or it was going to be a 1200cc sled.

I agree.  A ZR700 will be great and long overdue, but that hardly qualifies as the Hottest Thing to Hit the Snow.  Like it or not, Yamaha holds the claim to that statement right now.  I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think another ZR release will affect Yamaha's interest (or sales) at all.  A victim of bad timing maybe.

It's a F7 EFI and F5 Firecat!   Sno-pro chassis and laydown engine!  140 HP and 104 HP!!!  That's what the book says.
Available in Green, Black, or Red.
Looks pretty sweet.

Just saw a b/w picture if it with the specs.  Nasty (in a good way).  It's no 4-stroke but who cares!  If they get the bugs worked out before-hand and price it right, it just might be a hot item.  Hopefully Yamaha won't steal too much of its thunder.

Makes sense that a "FIRE"cat would be the "Hottest" thing on snow.   Nice "red hot" color too.   I like the Firecat, but I'd like to see a 4 stoke equal to Yamaha's, but only if it was fun to ride and reliable.
