I have the suspension dialed as good as its going to get for me at this point and its very good. I still think the r-motion felt a little more plush but its close. I was hammering the grade at the end of the day and 75 over the top of the whoops was a breeze.....it just flat out works well. Riding the trail and pushing it hard was a joy. Impossible to get a ski to lift if you are up on the front of the sled. I'm sold on it ....if it wasnt as good as it is it would be gone already and I'd probably be on an 850

Well with these shitty winters I'm gonna be riding this one at least another season.

hopefully the cat motor is a winner and then hopefully they can build a chassis that can compete ......that would be good for everyone. I wont hold my breath though

It takes cat 3-5 years to get a new chassis dialed. Maybe Yamaha can help them...

Hey zambroni, with these bad winters and cats old tech they aren't going to be around much longer. You should get with the A team before you go down with the ship and your 15 year old engine tech is worthless... :news:

I put 5000 miles on my last Doo.  Two rides on my Cat and I'm converted.  You keep on keeping on though, saddlebags.  LOL!!

Compete where?  On the tourist track? :lol:

I'm looking for that axys on the race track still.  It must be a real illusion creature.  Meh....I'm sure it's a comfortable trail sled though.

:kiss:

Hey I ride with cats. And because of that I have been to every cat dealer in northern Wisconsin and the UP...

DId you get the adjustable carbides for the new Doo?  HEY...maybe a windshield wiper package for 2018!  Or adjustable lug heights?  Let's not jinx it though. :lol:

:groin:

It actually does.  At first I was like "nope", then I saw it on the track....and it grew on me.  I am not a fan of the neon green though.  I'd paint all that black.  Grey and black?  now that'd be nice.

There is another racer that has a grey and black one that I like better the Dalton's, but his is really nice looking too.  

Yeah....been thinkin' bout Some new metal.  Hell, don't even have 1000 miles on my beast though.  Thinking about putting it all back to stock and see if I can Craigslist it.  I think my last ad was scary to a lot of people. People don't want to buy modded sleds.  Even basic mods seem to scare people away.  It's weird.

To add to your list, I won't buy a sled with a polished tunnel.

It came from ac hopefuls who have been begging for a modern 800 2 stroke and anticipating the 2018 ctec only to have skidoo raise the bar again with the etec 2 850... 

"Can't wait until Arctic cat comes out with their 850 SDI! That'll show skidoo!" :lol:

Go buy an 850 and I'll buy a ZR 9000 and we will line them for a $1,000.00 :news:

Oh and who is the 10 time defending champion on the snocross tour?

Standing up 100% of the time on a dedicated race sled around a track is about as useful a comparison to me as oval sled race results. The procross has shit ergo's and does not handle as well as the doo or the poo ....my opinion obviously
