1984 muscle sleds and how they stack up with each other

Edited March 28, 20214 yr by Doug

'82 John Deere, Kawasaki, Moto-Ski, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha

guess what won @Zambroski

 

this ring a bell?  And with all the uncertainty facing Polaris this spring — budgets tightened, veterans laid off, and announcement of Textron wanting to dispose of its snowmobile connection — the first ever shoot-out champion suffers.

Sounds like the 2nd act for Textron.  Our local Ski-Doo/Arctic cat dealer snow checked over 200 Ski-Doo's and counting and only 10 Arctic Cats as of yesterday.

you left out that 8 were Blasts and the other 2 powered by Yamaha

Lol I was wondering why they didn't run the tcat but then saw the 800 beat all the other manufacturers fastest sleds hahaha.  Hey at least they have 1982 😂

but Ramstad says the Blast has been an enormous hit in your area.

  
 

that 1995 ZRT800 was a beast.  Damn fast.  My buddy and i broke two of them in one weekend.  His dad was loaded so he bought 3 of them off the floor and we headed to the cabin to break them in.  by the end of the weekend we had broke motor mounts on both and blew 4 belts.  The only thing that gave us fits at the stock drag races on the lake that weekend was the thundercat

Didn't see a single one moving this year.  Saw a boat load of ZR200's though

 

Funny how 85-90 HP used to be a muscle sled, now it's a beginner sled / budget model.
