That's a nice looking sled, Aaron. :bc: Is that a 129 or a 136? 

Thank you. It is a 137. The turbos only come in that length. 2000 k’s on it now. It’s a love hate relationship. I like my 2 strokes so it’s taken a bit to adjust to this sled

How does it compare to the SBA?

50 mile Muskoka loops...…………………...

Jesus sled 2.0 would be perfect for that.  Put it in David Suzuki mode (ECO-mode) and all the granola eating, cross country skiing, long haired hippy, Subaru driving, skinny jean wearing, starbucks drink types would be happy

It is a lot more comfortable ride than the assault but not nearly as fun.  I would say fuel consumption is about the same but I don't have to worry about adding oil.  I'm becoming at peace with it but can't decide if I will off it after warranty or put a 200 hp tune on it

most 4 strokes are too heavy for the smaller trails

I haven't had a problem as of yet but will say a nicely set up 600  would work well in the tight and twisty trails 

ya no matter what rider or machine in tight trails a well set up 600 or 800 would take a 4 stroke without beating the crap out of you as a rider

Thanks Aaron. Someone in the sledding post in CE (Kev) told me you could get the Turbos in a 129 length. I thought I had read where you said 137 only so I wanted to double check. :bc:

Never a problem.  There are a lot of guys that want it in a 129 but DOO isn't making them

Sorry I said the 900 non turbo was in 129 at least last year :dunno: I don't know if Irv was interested in a turbo

No worries, Kev. I thought I mentioned if I was going to go with a 900 it would have to be of the Turbo variety? I could be wrong or maybe I didn't make that clear enough but I definitely think that's the route I'd go if I chose a 900 Doo. :bc:

I'd try both Irv.  I don't mind the 900 non turbo in sport mode.  Again it's no power house but works well.

I don't think I could do a 4-stroke that wasn't turbo.

My Vec nor the Apex need to be turboed, imo, but I guess it boils down to how fast you want to go or how much power is enough? I have zero desire to be the first across the lake but from what I gather, the 900 is a little lacking without the turbo? I'll never know unless I am able to ride both but I think if I had to choose today, the Turbo is what I would pick?

The vec wouldn't keep pace with a 600 and it would outrun the 900 non-turbo.  You might not need it, but would likely regret it if you didn't get it.

Keep pace across a lake? The only thing holding it back on the trail would be the weight of it, not the power, imo, but that also depends on the rider I suppose? I guess, however, as I haven't ridden any newer 600's, maybe they would clean it's clock in a race across the lake, I don't know? :dunno: The Vec is classified as a 600 sled where the Apex is a 800.

My son's 600 beat my Yamaha and is much more fun to ride.

What year Yammie and what make? I have no doubt whatsoever that the newer rides are much nicer riding/handling than my Vector, but at what cost? That is what I found a few years ago when I took a newer Yammy/Cat for spin at demo days. It was somewhat better in a couple places but not $8 to $10 grand better. Truth be known, I wasn't overly impressed with it, especially the fit and finish and the cheap feel to it.

05 RSVenture.  Heavy/ boring but did the job at the time.  

Can't tell you what is worth it to you. 

I prefer the 2-strokes anyway and I am pretty brand neutral when it comes to sleds.

A little old/dated compared to my Vec so I can see that. The only 600's I ever sorta/kinda raced were my 95 XLT and my buds 97. I had no trouble leaving them behind in a hurry but those are also old school tech. The only sled I have never owned, not counting my son's Kitty Cat, is an Arctic Cat sled. Doo's most of my life growing up then Poo's until I purchased my Vector, which was my first ever Yamaha sled.
