Shame for ours, motor's loose but hasn't been run in 25 years and sled sits on the dirt under a roof. That was my only ride in the early 90's......when it ran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinkipinki Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If I come across a late 90s Mach Z or early 2000s Thundercat in good shape, decent miles I'd consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if it is because I follow a lot of cat stuff from that era but it seems like the mach z from that time period is hard to find. A cat thundercat and zrt are a dime a doze. The Polaris xcr800 I also see for sale more than the Machz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I have no desire or reason to ride a newer trail sled. A couple new sleds rolled in for lunch on and something about them, I looked at them like they're ridiculous. Especially when you see some people riding them, they just look like this monstrous machine that you're operating, not riding and controlling. Bigger in every dimension and heavier.

I don't ride with my back but my knees sometimes will let me know when I'm not conditioned for the oldies! Still way more fun for me than new stuff.

The power to weight ratio makes up for the weight… not to mention the ride is superior to anything pre-rider forward. But I get it, I have a 1993 XCR I still took around in the field once in a while.

The last time I had my 1985 Indy 600 out ran into some guys I knew and ended putting on about 180 miles that day. I didn't want to see that sled for a couple days more less ride it after that. This year and other years have multiple 200-300 mile days and have no problem hopping back on the next day. I like the older sleds and appreciate them. but I have no desire to take them out for a 100+ mile day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get it, I have a 1993 XCR I still took around in the field once in a while. I guess I will disagree. Power can make up things or change things but it cannot do many things. They will never be as manueverable as something much lighter, lower, and packaged tightly. They didn't use words like mass centralization back then but these old ones I'm into are packed tightly. Even the later zr's were worse, belly panels and hoods and suspension were all spread out much further and that makes a big difference. Under hood items spread out further. Even if similar on a scale, spreading weight out over a bigger area makes a big difference for controlling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
