XCR INDY

Just finalized my order tonight. XCR 650 136, triple black, 1.35 cobra, electric start, standard gauge. Wife listed our '17 XCR 600 on marketplace this afternoon, sold within 3 hours. WTF

Why do you own a Polaris................get on over to your Ski-Doo dealer then. 

I do... do you even own a sled? I have both brands!

Polaris’ base 129 sled is over 2 grand more set up like Doo’s standard painted tunnel, rails and e start.                                 2 grand more.                             Less efficient.                             Fox QS3. (Who gives a fuck, most of the posers I see on the trail give up quicker than the standard HPG’s do).                   Doesn’t look like leading to me. 

Side note on our last weekend trip. This 1500 mile ‘19 850 Doo only made it 15 miles before going down. Anti freeze filled the pipe.   

Don't know how this all works, but I paid $25.00 a month ago.

Rented a cabin in the NEK over the weekend. Trails and weather held up better than expected. Rode a little over 300 miles.

Currently 38° with light snow starting to fall. A few days ago it was 27° and raining....

Hoping the weather holds out. Supposed to ride up there this weekend. 

By April 15th works for me. 

Moosehead  reminds me of this from a couple years ago.   

Pull her top off please.

Finally got to ride from the back yard. Rode our local trails today with the wife and youngest. 

Hopefully we all get the chance to demo it. My local dealer said she should have something exciting for me to try, so I assume it's the new Lynx and not a Mach Z.

Looks a lot better than a Ski-Doo. IMO

Some Xc coverage would be nice.

We have had great luck with this '17 321 Eagle. As smokin george said look them over real good. Once you buy them, You own them. Every problem we have had or others we camp with, have the best luck calling the manufacturer of the part or appliance direct. 

Ugly must be a part of battling for #1.

Wouldn't the TNT be more comparative to the Indy XC 600 129" price wise ???

Your right per price point, but I guess I’m comparing latest greatest engine technology. I Still have 2 Polaris 600’s a ‘14 Indy sp and a ‘17 xcr, so the old tech 600 was not an option.

It took you 5 times? If you're so disappointed in the fuel efficiency of the Poo 600, you would have only owned 1. For god's sake, if you're so concerned about fuel mileage, your wife should be riding a 4 stroke. I could never understand people who drop 10 - 15k on new sleds and are concerned about fuel mileage. 

Well, I can't make you read,but as stated, it was a more of a combination things. Again, I don't remember anyone crying about under powered 600's. So being Polaris faithful we waited, all while being able to pick up new leftovers for cheap. This year equal builds, Polaris Launch 650 $14121.00 and IMO still shitty economy or Ski-Doo TNT 600 $11999.00 with added economy, Winner. And yes, to me dropping $11000 instead of $13000 plus added fuel economy matters.

they are tremendous rental sleds and smart of Polaris to get them out there.  it's making me switch brands for the first time in 20+- years.  I actually bought a temp Polaris as well for this season since i was searching online for a matryx and found a deal on a switchback. 

My guess is Polaris has some sort of rental policy as part of their system for their rental outfitters.   the whole system they do is pretty slick for both SxS and sleds having rented them both.  Simple easy and all new/near new equipment.  

 

Yes, the 650's sure are for the right people. I guess i missed all the cries that the 120/125 hp class needed to be replaced and wasn't enough for most women and children, instead of just making it more efficient.  My complaint is, Polaris replaced or is phasing out the durable 120/125 hp INEFFICIENT 12-14.5 mpg 600 with a slightly better INEFFICIENT 12-17 mpg 135/140 hp 650, that no one really asked for. I don't need people to chime in with mpg, "it doesn't matter" or "it's all in how you ride", the wife has had 5 Polaris 600's since 2007 and the 12-14.5 mpg are her own experience's. Now she's averaging 19-20.5 mpg on her Ski-Doo. The best part is at 100 miles on the trip meter, I don't have to hear her say, "are you sure you filled my sled up, cause the gauge has been on empty for the last 10 miles". 

Matryx 650 rental sleds... WTF!  That sled is the "straw that broke the camels back" for me, the reason my wife is on a Ski-Doo after nearly 25 years!

Wife and I took advantage of Vermont’s reciprocating weekend. Rode 90 miles in the central Vermont area between Shrewsbury and Pittsfield.

Nice! I would love to take my wife for a trail ride next weekend but the traffic around Michigan is HORRIFYING and it is suppose to be stupid cold next weekend still. 

Looks like you guys are finally getting some snow. 👍

Rode with the wife today. Traffic was pretty light and trails were mint! Side note... Damn, those 600 Doo’s are efficient.
