Nice try, I'll bite. 

So, why then is a 4 year old Doo still $3000-$4000 more than a 4 year old Cat?  Just yellow bleedin' loyalists I guess.......

The doo new costs 2-3k more than a comparable poo ( never priced a new cat tho)

They lost to Poo, also.  Wonder why Doo doesn't sue all of them for copying the Rev? 

Right, because they couldn't even copy it correctly.  LOL

Right.  And if you then get $3000-$4000 more at resale time, that means you get to ride a Doo AND end up with more coin in your pocket.  A win in all respects. 

But I'm sure a Fusion still commands a respectable used price.....

I believe it was constructed as a Doo bashing thread, but was cleverly disguised and cryptically annotated as a "Sled Rental" thread.

Not me, silly.  I'll own and ride whatever works. 

If Cat one day brings something to the table that is reliable, is fuel efficient, gets a real suspension, holds it's value, and doesn't spontaneously combust....... I'll have a look. 

With Textron now at the helm, that is a distinct possibility.

Textron brings money to the table there is hopes.  The pro cross chassis is long in the tooth now

Yeah, but the 900 ACE Meme really go to him earlier today.  He took his Tonkas, and went home. 

Hope he finds a more reputable rental company though, AKA.

More importantly, they're invested in companies where QC is of paramount importance.  I'm guessing the Thief River factory is in for a bit of a culture shock. 

No more turbo bolts falling out.....

Here is some "real world" riding facts for ya:

  • CAT motors are the MOST reliable & most will usually admit that, even if they do not ride a CAT
  • All other sleds that I have rode with over the years, and that were all riding the same way/style, did not see much difference at the pumps (only exception would be a 900 ACE rental sled after his own DOO blew up in QC, but who wants to ride an ACE anyways......)
  • The fire myth can be said about all, but of course some faithful just like to think its always the others that it happens too....but they all break and have issues

I'd like to see a new chassis for cat.  Though as you said hopefully qc is better.  2012-13 procross had a fusion esque stank to them.  Fairly solid now.

7 years in, has to be a new design real soon.

  • Firekitty was 4 years
  • Barney was 5 years, unless you count the touring sled and utility sled, so I guess longer
