--it really is. has anybody here ever heard of the Yamaha Snoscoot? made from 1988 to 1991 they used the 80cc Yamaha riva scooter engine and it is a 2T. ive had this since I was about 10 and it is from 1989. I have other snowmbobiles, and the ones in the background are a relatives' sleds that I occasionally ride, but this is my favorite. i took some pics with the body off so the engine can be seen better. haven't been doing as much lately since its been anywhere from 10degrees above to 8 or 9 below this past month. heres some pics





heres a couple pics of what its like here. we have up to a foot in some places. in the pics its about -5 degrees (yes i was out riding)


Then a pic of my other snowmobile, a '94 arctic cat puma 340


heres a video from 2 years ago of me riding it. sorry that its shaky, i don't have a GOPRO camera LOL

The real way to do it is to graft a snowmobile power plant and drive into a scooter. Like one of the rotax's where you have close to a hundred horses.

You'd kill yourself with that thing lol!

The real fun begins when you have around 150hp and a 350lb bike! 4th and 5th gear wheelys, phone poles going by faster than you can count them! I never road a hyabussa but would have liked to a few years back.

This is definitely the winter for snow machines! Have fun, be safe.
