My dealer in North Bay Ontario (Carlsons Sports)just told me that the new kitty wil be here on MondayApril 14th. They have been built and shipped from Minnesota. Cant wait to pull the trigger. Just 7 more sleeps.

 

Funny thing, the Thunder Cat, made in Minnesota,according to this years rules and regulations,is illegal to ride on any public land in Minnesota. According to the reg book, a class 1 ATV is under 800cc, and less than 900 lbs. , and a class 2 (mostly the side x sides) is 800 cc or less, and 900 to 1500 lbs. No provisions seem to have been made for a 1000 cc (976 for the T Cat) to be on the trails here in Minnesota, unless the law was changed after the regs were printed. Any Minnesota riders got one yet, and been out on the trails? I wonder if the DNR will be looking close enough to realize the cc rule has been broken.

 

How about 650-v2 or 700efi stickers and remove all 1000 stickers.. LOL

 

they say its considered a class 2

 

If that is so, the 800cc rule will have to be re-written,or the DNR has already decided to allow the Cat. I would like to hear from an officer or a policeman from MN to see if the class 2 will apply,even though they are almost 200 cc over. So I suppose it won't be long before a sport version of the Prowler will be out, with a 1000 cc motor, to give the RZR a run for the money. Pretty soon we will be sharing the trail with motors the size of small cars !!! What a big change from the 90cc Honda 3 wheeler that started it all !!, or when the "huge" 500's ruled just a few years ago !!

 

Damn thread hijackers, Oh well! just a few more sleeps!!!!!!

 

There is a Thundercat sitting in the BassPro Shop In OKC it has been there for several weeks. It is marked $10,055. Well it was there the last two times I was there and it may be gone now.

 

Yep, Okie is right. They've been in Michigan for a couple weeks too. Sorry ManitoulinBoombastic.

BTW, let us know how she is. I'm thinking about one too. I'm sure it will be nothing but positive though.
