Yep, a bit far from “goat paths” just a lot of bumpy twists and turns. It’s the bumps and the next corner that determine speeds and it’s rare 70+ is needed. 28 minutes ago, f7ben said: If a 300hp sled is behind you are riding goat paths....legit goat paths. Well, maybe but, it’s just a heavy sled that can’t work well in the 30-60 range on tight trails. I’ve seen many fall back to strangler status. Watching the racers try to make the Vipers work on the SX track was embarrassing. 21 minutes ago, Rigid1 said: No, it's just not feasible to use that much power here..Think of your experience owning a Corvette..That will probably be the best way for you to grasp what I'm saying.. Yep. I’m quicker in my six than I was my 8 and less fatigued. It’s all in how it’s set up. The right tool for the right job. Still, there a few spots that when recently groomed leaves me a bit on the slow side wanting a bit more. But when all jankied up, I’m as fast as anybody out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously the same difference as the RMK 163 and the RMK 165 Many people ride in the north where no premium is available. Being 87 compatible is a very good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the vri and by the time you pay paid freight and taxes in canada it was close to 22k. Very nice sled for sure, but 22k, fuck that. In 2 years when it has 7k miles on it it might fetch 9k, 6500 per season is getting a little deep for a sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
