would a small bore engine in a modern chassis sled sell today?
800 this, 850 that... Turbo's and Turbo 4's are the norm and electric is coming.
I'm not talking about a 550 fan or a detuned 600, but a true quick revving 440 or 500 F.I. power valve EPA friendly 90-100hp twin in a modern chassis. The last of the Mohicans in this class to my knowledge was the ZR 4000 RR or LXR (500 Zuke), which did not sell well, did not meet EPA and was killed by Textron. I'm not sold on the b-Last as it is as a performance chassis or engine, others may and likely will
$3-4K for premium shocks these days, and you'd still have a sled with the cheap skid, no additional bracing and e-start (with Polaris being the exception as you can order your sled without it). well done Polaris
This is beating a dead horse but knowing Cat's products well enough I would take the SX chassis using the consumer 600 engine and clutches, no e-start, the trail fuel tank with Riot seat (made stiffer), the std gauge, Riot skis, 137 Cobra track, Fox IFP QS3 shocks, 22/48 gearing w
