Crnr2Crnr Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Don't spend time in BRP forums or groups, but what's the feedback been from folks that actually bought a Rave and have put some miles on them? No idea how their order fulfillment turned out either with all the shortages out there and being shipped from across the pond, or are they assembled in Quebec? Obviously no one here has one because you're all soft and old, and a few of you might be a little queer too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 My friend has one and really loves it. He has a Freeride too and never ridings the Freeride anymore. He bought it last year though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't rode the Freeride since he got the Lynx, not sure on a direct comparison though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Younger brother and I gave the eight fifty a good look over on Tuesday. Had a real good chat with Eric at Antigo Yamaha/BRP/Polaris while we were there. Nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments like that are the reason that every hardcore big bump sled ends up turning into an over priced poser-mobile.. The XRS has been watered down to the point that its softer than a ZR limited The XCR isn't much better, and Even though the RR is the closest to what it should be, it is still watered down and softer than it should be Edited February 12, 2022 by krom 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 There were more lynx parked in a major snowmobile destinations than blasts. There were 2 lynx and 1 blast. A few newer cats. The rest were winders, Polaris and doos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if that’s good or not because it’s the jerkoff capital of the snowmobiling world but it is surprising because the dealer up there is a MSRPs a good deal type of place. Still have yet to see a blast in the wild that I can remember and that’s sad because I’ve seen probably 10-15 different 200s out on the local trails.

Apparently people riding the East UP don’t ride newer cats. It’s mad house up here right now. 3 reports on the news of people getting smoked by cars. Saw a lot of sidewinders and vipers but very few newer cats. Kinda sad actually. Went to falls and several other pit stops in the truck today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to falls and several other pit stops in the truck today It’s definitely not the way it was up there today in most places. I’d say most “newer” cats you see are Gen 1 procross even, obviously there’s an occasional newer one spotted. I’d say old iron still on the trail is one market cat dominates, too bad that does nothing to keep them relevant and selling sleds. We got 50 bonus miles in for our weekend where we planned on getting 5-600. Luckily got 6-8” to cover up the glare ice base that was left so we could go get lunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
