A Turbo Yammy will eat your M8 NA or Turbo. It comes down to what kind and how good of a rider you are. The yammys have a few pounds on em but there is a reason they are so bulletproof. If you can learn to ride one (some can some cant) then its not a big deal and they are just as fun and will take you more places with a adrenalin rush. A great rider can take a Yammy in the trees and not sit there and complain about it. The guys saying you cant ride a yammy the same places are the guys that cant ride ! Try one out and see if you are a good rider lol !

08 Nytro

I almost bought an M8 because they were lighter and easier to maneuver, but at the last minute I found a 08 Nytro with a stage 3 supercharger set at 15lbs. boost with 150 miles on it for a sweet deal so I took it. I have never regretted it. It has arm stretching pull and crisp throttle and after getting used to it (a few rides) it is as or more maneuverable than anything i have ridden. Just a few tips: the biggest complaint is how the front end dives when the throttle is released most people say because it is front heavy which is true, but that is only a small part of the problem. The biggest part of the problem is the torquey four stroke motor doesn't free-spool like a two stroke so when you release the throttle it stops the track almost like hitting the brake which slams down the front. So get used to not releasing the throttle completely and you will notice the front end stays up just like other sleds. Also it has a high center of gravity so for me I had to get used to not trying to muscle it over and over turn, but rather finesse it in turns and not over correct. If you practice riding it a little different than other sleds you will love it. By the way always take your tow strap with you so your Ski Doo, Arctic Cat, and Polaris buddies can get home.
