IF they were so great, they'd still be making them 

The CFR's were pretty much a continuation of the Firecats.

The zr chassis handled much better imo

 

Like I said, I've never felt as confident on a Firecat as I do ZR's.

They had a 13" wide track which was the biggest issue. 

The REV was a bigger issue for them, IMO.  That sled forced the others to up their game with some form of better ergos.

The 18's are hitting the dealers.

Cat brought one of those down to a race last year.  Fun watching the fastest rider on snow putz around on one of those.

He's hot to trot, but still owes money, not sure how that would work.  Mines paid for.  

With something like that being used, wouldn't it be his problem?  Either way, I'd get ahold of the lien holder and ask for a lien release or lien waiver.

Agreed.  Switched sleds with my buddy and got on his rev and was  damn, no wonder I'm so much more tired at the end of the day.

God damn it!  Still trying to rangle me up a deal on a racer....pretty unsuccessfully!  Nobody wants to give me one at my best offer!! :lol:

Wish my sled would sell.  Wife would have a fit if I parked another in the garage.  I hate to start parting mine out with it still being like fucking new but these things just aren't worth shit in running order anymore.  Everybody likes low monthly payments now.

I wonder if my buddy would store my sled as I parted it out?  Hmmmm....wifey know nothing!!!!

The good XC guys back in the day could ride those Firecats as fast as the REV's and the Fusions, but you'd beat the hell out of yourself doing it.

If I can find one that hasn't been tracked...other than a practice lap or two, I'd trail convert.  Missed out on a RS out of the crate a bit ago.  R-XC would be my 1st choice though.

Would a $5000 2015 R-XC fancy you?  2000+- miles with a recently rebuilt motor.  

No thanks.  Gotta be low miles.  Why is the motor rebuilt?  That's bizarre to me.

I'm prolly gonna contact that 17 with less than 1000 on it.  See if I can cut a deal before he puts it on a trailer.

Not sure why the 15 would be rebuilt, but it was raced.

Latest trade offer is my sled plus cash for a 2012 SB Assault w/2" track and fresh pistons.

I got an offer of a 2017 Arctic Cat Alterra 550 with 180 miles on it.  I actually thought about it...but no.  Not a four wheeler guy plus, it's another toy that doesn't sell for shit.  

I should have taken the stainless kitchen appliance package.  Or maybe the 1980 something Harley Fat flat Spoon Shovel Head with "lot's of chrome" :lol:

No....there is a reason it has new pistons

Zactly...and I'd bet those were just the last pair of "fresh" slugs dropped in it.  I'd bet there's a half dozen old ones sitting on the bench.  I'd almost go with a first year etec instead of that Poo mil.  Almost.

And a pile of scrap aluminum monoblocks as well

I remember people coming from Canada to buy my sleds.  Damn.  Can't sell these things for shit anymore.  It's actually surprising.

I traded my last one in. Listed it for what I thought was reasonable and no calls. None. My tolerance is low for assholes anyway so probably worked out for the best.
