Zambroski Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think anything for kids is good. You didn’t think to post a link or info on it though? Hold still while I pull a handful of your hair out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You would think that instead of pouring good R&D cash into a kids sled that is going to have minimum sales due to high pricing, they would invest that cash into adding halon systems to their current other products that tend to get hot, at the worst possible time, to avoid more law suites. What percentage of the sledding population can afford a new kids sled, that will be used to run around the yards, or farm fields ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three I owned were sold at break even or I made money after using them for 4-5 years. The snow scoot was the best option until these came out, but good luck finding one for a reasonable price.

Angry ginger Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 hope the timing is better for these guys than it was for Doo when they released the freestyle which was really a great kids sled. the zr200 still doesn't bridge the gap fully from 120 to a 500 i bought my son an indylite 340 back when he was 8 and it was a perfect size sled for him. WHat are they getting for one of these and what does it have for pah, don;t see the specs anywhere yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiSledder Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Theres a lack of entry level sleds , the 120s are too small for kids to trail ride, there needs to be something that brings the kids into the sport other that a 1980 enticer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini motocross is the future of the sport, if kids didnt start riding until they were big and strong enough to handle a big bike the sport probably would be all but dead, always thought it was odd snowmobiling manufacturers did make something to get the youth hooked more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I got sick of looking at 120s that the kid would only be able to ride for 2 years before out growing. Dropped $500 on a mint 1995 380f and won't look back.

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted January 5, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 5, 2018 I got a 02 ZL550 for my son when he was 9, stole it for $800.. he rode the yard for 2 years and last year hit the trails with me. I think next year Im going to find him a SP500 or a 08 or newer Phazer. Those kid sleds and even the 340 indy lites go for huge money around here.

I'm on the search for him again now and hope to keep that track record up. it's $1200 to rent for the 4 days he's gonna ride I think i can buy and sell and have it cost me less than $500 including the $100 to register it.

I just sold both my kids 4wheelers just before christmas, they had them for 3 years and I almost doubled my money.. the power sports stuff for kids really holds its value and I dont think is a bad investment at all. Im sure you could buy a sled and sell it rather than renting one at those prices.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do a rev but with his knee repair i think having the extra room of the XP is a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current 200's are outgrown rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Poo actually came out with one, that should not be a surprise to anyone since Yamaha/Cat now have one, it was only a matter of time. Doo next?

hwytohell Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Indy lite's go for big dollars if they are in good condition. Sno Scoots still demand big dollars, as do limited production 125 cc Sno Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased mine for $800, (it was rough) put $200 or $300 into it and sold it a couple/few years later for just over $1800. The dealer was ready to give me $1750 without even looking at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked them up relatively cheap 7-8 years ago. They are a ton of fun riding around the property. I'd like to see if I could convert them to the 200's track. The 1/4" ish lug doesn't get much bite.

A full size 121" 550 fanner that weighs 430 lbs, my 144" Switchback 800 doesn't weigh much more than that. Does anyone know the price? Its still probably north of 5 grand I would think.

Very true. Many out there know this is pocket change to them. Wish I was one of those! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
