I don't even think at this point i'd put my kid on a sit down chassis sled. So I'm guessing you think it's stupid for me to buy a 94 ZR 700?

I have been thinking i might try JIms method this year, start with the first couple weekends on my xrs then sell it for a SBA for the heart of the season then maybe end the season with a 154 freeride once the diamond poundings lost it's luster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing redeeming about old sleds unless you might want to hang a txl or something like that on the wall in a barn. Good memories make people blind to the fact of just how much better shit is today and the cool sleds like a txl are uncomfortable unless your a garden gnome at least with a car you can just cruise in style and enjoy.

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted April 24, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 24, 2017 As long as the trail isn't 5 foot woops, the old iron can keep up with the new stuff for 10% the cost. And in some cases pass it which must be infuriating to Joe Blow who owns 15k still Just hit the Jacuzzi before and after the ride cause it's going to hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy my son a rev a few years ago, couldn't bear to put him onto something so much more inferior to that. i think the only old sled i could be comfortable on would be a barney or an xp.

I find out of the late 90's early 00's the cats are the most rider friendly....and definitely had the best stock suspensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
