Poncho Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Stopped by this afternoon on the way to my place, out of the way, but wanted to see an old buddy and have a look at the new iron. Pretty big crowd, Arctic Cat was not there but Polaris, Yamaha and Ski Doo had plenty on display. Edited March 25, 2017 by Poncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That PRO X n' the old school Pro S were lookin' good eh Poncho? I liked the Winders' too. Puzzle the turbo bolts were tight and also the well used summit with the body off had a fully intact bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokemerc Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I should go since I live around the corner but I'll avoid the crowds and see it all by looking at the posted pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Not really that much of a crowd last night. Not much to see really unless you're into mountain sleds and trespass specials. (Thanks for that line Puzzle, fits em to a t) Go near the end of the day will be light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, most everything there is big as a small car, not into mountain sleds or trespass specials. I usually go Friday evening, maybe I'll go later today.

Poncho Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 They sure are ugly, I wonder who is doing the design and colors for Doo, they have had some pretty ugly stuff in the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Stevie, my fav Rev was my 06 MXZ 800 Adrenaline......I actually liked the look, but my MachZ1000 was a nice looking sled, of that style (back in the day).... Time has changed.... As for today's sleds,.... I think Polaris make some of the best looking and certainly the most economical and affordable sled available today. The Assault 144 is one of the nicer looking sleds on the market, and it's loaded with the best shocks in the industry and all the accessories plus its 3k less than anything in the same class....not sure how they do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) There's a reason they're $3000 less. You get what you pay for. They're probably dumping them (selling below cost) to try to get the market back. Easier than engineering their way out of their slump. Yeah, this is a fine looking sled. At least they got the Rev XP windshield right. Edited March 28, 2017 by Puzzleboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Based on all your years of experience...... lemme guess.... you work for Polaris? 9 hours ago, Tommy said: comp and rebound WE shocks are 10 times the shocks as kyb's.... dont even play like they compare well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the coolest thing at the whole show was that brochure cart you can see behind it made from sled parts. Good use of trespass special rails..

04nightfire Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was disappointed the doo booth. A couple of summits, long track freeride, 137 freeride, a few mxz's and one 4 stroke. Went with two friends of mine who are looking for a doo 4 stroke and there was nothing for him to really look at. As usual, the Yamaha section wasn't very busy.

Puzzleboy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 They never seem to push the 1200s. And mechanically, not much new with the 1200 anyway.... lol. DI 2-smokes seem to still be their focus. 52 minutes ago, 04nightfire said: saw that one Both were disappointed that there wasn't at least a 1200 renegade or short track there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
