A new 93 Wildcat or Mach 1 was around $7000-$7200 msrp and I couldn't get any discount. Those in today's dollars would be around $15,800. MSRP on new mid range 850's are in the $16-18k range. 45 more hp, better injection systems, far greater suspension, longer track, better gauges. Now take in the extra cost to mfg some of today's 4 strokes as comparison to older 2 strokes. I can find leftover 23 and 24 Poo 850's in the $13K range that are 100x's the sled. I think people are a bunch of whiney cry babies today. Sled prices are high....but not out of line with what they've been for a long, long time. SXS pricing... compared to cars and small SUVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said I'd love to see the big three come out with UTV's. They could fucking blow the current market up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low mile units. People who bought them realizing they just dont have the time to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically cars that you can travel off road at 80 mph and it'seasy to make them street legal. Go price a Raptor or a Rubicon.

No. Raptor or Rubicon... why'd you go straight to the top of the heap in price and two dedicated off roaders? Base 2d Wrangler Sport is $34K. Base Bronco 2d is $39k If they could sell them here, one of these little billy goats would be cheap off road fun. https://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/lineup/jimny/ SXS's are a fad...

Ya that sucks unfortunately, but just like someone who owns a motorcycle where there is 4-6 months of winter, it's easy enough to go where you can ride.

As for boomers only riding them, perhaps thats the case where you hang your clothes. I'm starting to feel like an old man riding in the desert and the sand dunes these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be all ages that ride around here. Our trail systems get hit pretty hard due to close proximity to the twin cities and I see a fair amount of younger people riding here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
