You'll have to slash that price to move it now. I went down to $9000 for my mint '15 MXZX800 with 2400 kms on it and nobody would even come look at it.

Not the season for selling. I put mine away until fall when the prices will come back up again.

Text me, might have a guy to but that mxz.

 

He will probably pay more if its black on black... 15's have too much yellow

I watched Tommy demo the assaut for 20 miles down trail 15 on snowcrest shit trails then drop it off a dock onto the lake.  Can't get anymore real world then that. Rails might be a bit tweaked

no shits were given.  The lack of visibility also made it that much worse

Not sure how you old boys watched.... I already had my helmet off for a dart and back on by the time you guys rolled up to sparrow

What's Polaris got, another 50cc's, BFD! Does that mean the parts fly a little further now when they grenade? I think the best addition Poo could have done with these new sleds is line the underside of the hoods with kevlar so the rider, and people around them, wouldn't have to worry about getting tattooed with pistons, connecting rods and primaries when they fly apart.  

Is that what everyone on Ty4stroke suggested they change?

No, but I certainly wouldn't add louder exhaust to them to make them sound faster.....

I know kids like this new fart can stuff, but there's still no replacement...... for displacement.  And they still sound like Van Wilder's golf cart. 

I am getting old..... lol

 

Tuner/flowmaster/ and cold air intake made a significant enough difference on my chev.

Obviously, they only break when ridden aggressively. 

You're still at Fusion-level. 

 

nahhhhh 

 

Im still looking to ride by the time you have to head back and change your depends. 

Just now, Puzzleboy said:

As Poncho says, those numbers are meaningless unless you run them at the same time.  Stock Mach Zs were well into the 120s, but you have to compare them at the same time to other sleds regardless. 

The Spinegrinders seem to perform well; I haven't ridden one to see how it handles..... I thought guys liked those chassis? 

 

 

Those numbers were on cooch within 5 min of eachother

Ive bag driven 3 800 axys sleds and one 600.....

 

never had one lick of grief yet poodle

Sorry to say Tommy, but it doesn't look like even the new Polaris has anything on the new Yamaha SRX. You might not want to watch that release tomorrow. 

Speaking of which, is Doo still number 1 in sales? With the amount of Yamacats around, I would hazard a guess they can't be far behind? 

Yamaha is still not even on the same level as Polaris and Skidoo....

Want to spend $20k plus and go fast in a straight line on a heavy sled? buy a sidewinder. no doubt they are fast. but they arent that fast until you throw another couple thousand at them .... stock one i ran against last year went 117mph.... i was on ponchos old clapped out 800 indy and went 111mph..

 

Now you want to have an ear to ear grin? by a polaris or doo that that does fast in a straight line and still goes around a corner... Polaris has nothing on an srx? you buy one and then come for a ride up north next year. Ill bet you im still at the bar while your at the hotel watching eyelid theater after muscling a damn 4 stroke yamaha all day

So, for 7 years.... they were"fine tuning it", but they copied an entire 850 engine in only 2 years? 

Ummmmh.... no. 

I think they were hedging on the Rush.  And we all know how that worked out.....

Copied in 2 years? Do some research..... 850 polaris has been on the DL since 2013

Leaf sprung skis worked for 20-30 years before independent suspensions came along. 

Still works in pickups

Good thing they manufactured more than one relay, and one fuse. 

NEW  iAct suspension...... Cause reservoir gas shocks havent worked for the last 20+ years!!!

Makes sense, and since they put out the guarantee it will be the first one across the lake, I guess they had better make sure it is. 

The electronic suspension sounds interesting. 

Same shit cat released already.... Boring.... Just more shit to break. So you pop a fuse or a relay that controls the suspension.... Are you stuck in firm mode in 8-14'' chop?

Yam and cat can have that BS

The real word on the street is new motor and new chassis from polaris....... 850 killer

 

 

funny.... conditions depending the lower hp assaults already take down the odd 850

 

 

4200km

Mechanically 👍🏻

Panels have scuffs and scratches. 

 

As is... $8500 OBO

 

plus hst

Like that add, perfectly running trailer. LOL

lol i saw that too

My dad did have one of these when I was younger. would be fun too i guess. one of those ones where practice is needed before high speed operation.

What outboards are the ones to stay away from?

You've also got to pick your days with any of these style boats.  20 knot winds won't bode well....

This is why i came to the website of pros full of endless knowledge for help on this venture

True dat. 

 

 

Ive gone fast in a few tunnel hulls. its cool but you also need to know how to drive it lol. that i do not.

Just now, Puzzleboy said:

We'll be using our mad skills to locate one.....  you want a jet, specifically?  There are lots of hi po outboard offerings for lake skimmers too.

yeah i say those over an out board because im more likely to injure someone riding shotgun in a talon/stv/hydro than in a jet boat that only does 50-60 mph.. I like that v8 sound aswell i cant lie

Just now, Puzzleboy said:

Can't boat in the winter, and can't sled in the summer.  The hobbies are mutually exclusive...... so get both!

Boats are worse than sleds though, when it comes down to compromise and getting what you want.  But they have one key advantage that snowmobiling will never have....... women. 

I discovered the women and boats thing quite a few summers ago.... Now help me find a god damn jet boat 

Going to start the search for an old Pioneer or chris craft hull... seems already like its going to be challenging. Anybody know of a better place to look than craigslist and kijiji?

this is the new pipe dream
