These guys were new every 2 sled buyers but just rocking bikes now. These things are getting a huge following. Mind you these guys don't really live in areas with much of a trail system.... But we don't have much of a trail system out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That being said I'm gonna buy this in the fall and powder coat all of the aluminum black! I like this chassis better than the xs and the gen4's are just too damn expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many years of new Big Fin clutches and different offsets and upgraded cooling are we gonna see before a cat makes it anywhere near a normal distance on a new belt. I have no skin in the game and dont give two shits about a Polaris prior to the one I own now. The reality is they are all fucking junk. Pick your color I didn't even read that garbage past the first line . They fucked EVERYBODY , plain and simple . NOBODY has ANY business touting Polaris GARBAGE and shitting on any other brand with a straight face . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileage Psycho Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Good stuff with Textron, the weaponry coming out of TRF in the next few years should be incredible Quote To reinforce the message that Textron is a big, stable and strong company, Keener said dealers and media attending the event walked past a Bell helicopter and a Scorpion fighter jet in the showroom – both produced by Textron.

He rides McCall for the most part. But his KTM has cost a shit load... Bike, timbersled, the automatic clutch and a host of other parts. I want to say he is into over 20k. He even had to change the battery to a winter grade as the stock battery wouldn't crank the bike in the cold after a few hours of freezing temps.

Ez ryder Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 thing is the bikes take less than 1/4 the effort in the deep snow to ride . one of the guys dads I ride with was big in to deep snow ridding his whole life but gave it up like 7 yrs ago . his kid got a bike 2 yrs ago then the old man got one . he is pushing 70 and goes west about 4 weeks a yr again. he runs a well 2 ktm 300 2st short track timberselds . he hangs all day . spends a lot of time hanging around the base watching but getting out and ding it with guys 20 and 30 yrs under him . and no one is waiting on him .

The old man is fuckin senile and stupid so he get's a pass , you having a short memory and running off at the piehole is a bit of a surprise Spot on!

They put new slugs in mine at 3200 miles no questions asked..then replaced a few other things that "looked" like they were prematurely worn. Then sent a follow up letter from corporate explaining in detail what they did, why they did it and if I was happy. FUCK ME! That's excellent work by a company who really seems to give a shit. I went to Cat a year later and couldn't be happier. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was designed and tested in just a few short years and was done so without any government funds or contracts. It is aimed at small to medium countries with limited air power. costs a fraction of just about anything else you can name and has a per flight hour cost more in line with a private jet than a military jet. This was a bold move by Textron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have only had 2 recalls on my doos in the last 20 years. And I wasn't having any issues when the recalls were issued. That's how good they are. They'll do the work just so you don't have the problem. Great company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
