xlr82sxs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 arctic cat f1000 sno pro, ftw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 IMO yamaha and arctic cat make good sleds, but if you really want the tits, i'd go with a ski doo or a polaris. I'm really a fan of the polaris RMK, my buddy just bought an 08 RMK 800 Dragon and says its hard to keep the ski's on the ground, and outruns the Ski Doo 800. What kind of riding do you plan on doing? Mountain, trail, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowSierraSS Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I would get the Yamaha nytro fx. They have like 140 HP stock and then a turbo kit added on will jump you up to near 300HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I had a 225 HP polaris XCSP (Nitrous ) and I had a hard time finding a patch long enough for me to enjoy the power. If I were to buy a new sled, I would focus all of my money spent on suspension and 0-60 and forget about trying to top out at 150. A snotty 600 with a well thought out suspension is just more fun IMO,...especially if you are trail riding. Swap out the jackshaft gears, pipes, reeds, clutch kit, studs and some long carbide skegs and that will be my next sled. More than enough power to get you in trouble! BTW, the fusion and the REV riding positions are NOT overrated on a long day (over 200 miles of riding). Your ass will thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kweber1911 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 what kind of riding do you like to do? Do you like to ride in the mountains? Trails? Do you like to boondock through the trees? I have an 07 Skidoo summit 800R with a 159" track and I love it. summits are best on the mountain by far. and mountains are the only place i ride. not too sure about the trails though. I try not to ride much trail. just my .02 Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red454 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I personally like the riding position of the BRP sleds. The 800 HO motor should be close in power and fuel mileage of the Yammy four stroker but a lot less weight. The rotax two stoke would be a lot cheaper to repair if problems did appear compared to the four stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03blueSSon22s Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 my 2 cents im a pretty big fan of the phazer has alot better suspension than the apex and its pretty snappy for only a 500 tops out around 80ish. if your into trail thats good enough.

I would plan on changing out the 1 1/4 track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
