I’ve spent a lot of time on different sleds and I’ll agreed that a snappy 120-130 hp is all you need in the bush to gape other people 

but it’s just not exciting 

personally speaking have two nearly identical sleds... one is 85-ish hp, the other 130-ish+ 

the 130-ish+ one with XC gearing will hang the skis at 1mph or 61mph but the 85hp can be literally ridden fully up the 130+'s ass with the flipper closer to the bars the entire time in the twisty stuff.  as soon as there's a field or open space it switches and the bigger hp sled runs away.  if I had to sell one or the other which I don't plan to... I'd keep the 85hp and swap out the very premium shocks with the other still premium shocks before selling it. 

funny how we all prioritize differently things at times...

yeah in the right stuff you don’t need a lot of hp. But in the straights, 180+ Hp is just a lot more fun

I know it won't be much in the straights but I'll be driving my sons Matryx Khaos Boost 155" Slash this week as he got home last night with it.

Gonna take the SLP pipe off his 17 Assault and put it on my Tippy Axys :thumb:

don't park too close to a G4 or G5 in a parking lot, those tip over on their own.  last winter three sleds were lost for the season when a Doo was parked at a four degree angle.

I know and you know your not a fan of high speed on the lake fields or in the woods. Are you just trying to keep up an image, you don't have too. Go ride have fun and get home safe. 

I am not fast anymore, 2 surgery's will do that.

no, given the rational opportunity I'll crack the tap open but you know what most trails around here are like and one can only use WOT for more than a mere moment unless you're on the rails beds or fields.  image?  :lol: how many times have I gotten ball busted for riding a kids/girls sled?  

I'm sorry about your brain surgeries... so I'll buy dinner ya cheap fawcker.  ;)
