I see the Khaos slash and the Boost are being moved back to Feb now from polaris.. at what point in time does the company cancel the orders and off them a 23 at a heavy discount ?

Can't really make a judgment on an engine going down without knowing the details. Too many newbies in the sport to know exactly how it was treated.

 

I try to stay out of this shit but neighbor bought a Khaos last year, presently sitting at dealer for engine #3. Yes it's true, but here's the thing, he has beaten the living piss out of it since delivery. I could hear him out on the lake just a givin it last year because of the noisy can on the thing. Assuming he swaps the can off before warranty trips.

So yes, you don't know details. I would never judge anything on this cracker-ass

You guys need to give @mnstang a break.  He's still living in the Suzuki world where Cat certainly had one of the most durable 800's around ... there's no denying that.  Now that Suzuki is gone though, Cat's next most durable engine is a YAMAHA engine   The c-tec is as much a flaming POS as any other one out there, except it's also the most underpowered in its class.

If that ain’t already scooped up, I’d be amazed!  Floored is more the word.

A. Too tippy. 
2. Every picture is from when he picked it up from the dealer last year. Could at least take a picture of the dash with the sled running. 
B. Says pending.

Yeah, I don’t Doo Poo.  But, like 150 miles?  Safe to assume it’s in nice shape.  I don’t care about the fucking dash.

Anybody with a modern, slightly used sled will NEVER get more for it than they can right now.  This is literally the perfect storm for resale.

In this market, that's a deal.

Plus I want Zieman to be the guinea pig for selling a ROGER SKIME edition. 

Did someone mention Roger Skime sale?

It’s also a 600.

A kid I know has one with like 600 miles on it I begged and begged to sell last year before I bought the 600 limited. It still has 600 miles on it, he still won’t sell it, he still doesn’t know who Roger Skime is and I’m still pissed.

I’m actually seeing a bit of a resurgence in the 600 models.  I think many are realizing they just don’t need the 800 and certainly don’t need the increased epa induced risk that comes with them.

My guess is the hyper sled riders are seeing that the lesser, children’s 600 are having zero problems keeping up with them in the majority of situations and have much less risk of “BLAMMO”.

 

It wouldn’t be a hcs shit post with out someone posting…

And, if you're an aggressive rider that likes to get after it, the smaller engine is way more rewarding, with no loss in speed.

Honestly, I think the 650 Polaris is just about ideal for trail riding for most because sometimes more is just moar that you can't use.  Not that I've ridden one.

 Nah, go with the big bore and become a master of throttle modulation. 

If I ever get my 650, I can't wait to ride with our group of 800's and 850's just to compare.  I think overall, the 650 is the best sled with our trail system.  Now, when we get back to Namakagon at the end of the day - maybe not so much, but I'm pretty sure I'll be wherever the destination is before they get their helmets off!! LOL

I don’t know. While I agree with some of what you’re saying, my 600 bores the shit out of me, performance/power wise. I mean, sure, it’s enough but there’s times where I want more and it’s not there.

You know, I couldn’t stay long in either thread.  I can surf around all day and play in idiotic threads but some, well…they are so stupid, it’s hard to be there and not feel shame.

Then an 800 is for you.  There are some stretches  where I sure could use the 800, and gearing appropriate, but, for the most part, I can go flipper to bar and off all day on a 600 and have controlled and consistent performance that transfers to the trail.  Although, my only 6’s were race so, I was pushing a bit more ponies than the standard 6.  I think the 650 is a good mix.  Toss in some clutching and maybe gearing and it’ll be a trail beast.
