I purchased it used in 96 for around $6,000 dollars. It only had a 1,000 miles on it. One of the best sleds I ever owned and it still, even by today's standards, gets the job done. That one is definitely in real nice shape! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Also the seller is incorrect,,it's not a 580 unless the motor was changed. 95 was a 597. 93 and 94 were 580's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 94 there was a limited release xlt with Xtra-14 suspension that used a vector rear single shock if I recall and had like a 48" ski stance or something ridiculous. Rich guy in my town had one, He also bought 1 of the first 25 Blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich guy in my town had one, He also bought 1 of the first 25 Blades. Thanks for jumping in/answering, HSR. I owned a 93 XLT SP, which also came with the Fox shocks, but wasn't an Xtra 12 sled. I sold it to a guy who bugged, bothered, harassed me to no end to sell it to him. I finally did and that's when I purchased my 95 XLT SP. I never knew/heard of the 94 Xtra 14 sled. I assume they didn't sell many of those at all? I am currently not a big Polaris fan but if they built them like they did back in 95, I wouldn't be thinking of any other sled to ride. This sled, as was my 93, has been trouble free. The only thing I ever did to them was change the belts, but that is only because I thought I should. Speaking of one offs or limited builds, does anyone ever remember seeing the 1988 400 Indy Specials with the Gold tunnel and 2 tone painted hood? I owned one for 2 years before I upgraded to my 93 XLT SP. It was a decent sled, although it wasn't as free from issues as were my XLT's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
