VIPER BY A MILE. NEVER LIKED THE RX-1. 3:16 (yammie tony)
stay with the viper. unless all the upgrades are done to the rx1 being it is a 03 the viper will handle better. i need to set up my war better because i like how my brothers 02 viper handles compared to mine but i couldnt find one when i was looking to buy (i only buy new ones or ones i know really well).

keep the viper
The Apex RTX is a very nice sled. You wouldnt go wrong with any of the new generation of 4 strokes but if the price is a little far out for you, keep the viper for a few more years, gather all your info on how to correclty pipe the sled.

If you updated the RX1 to 2005 specs i would go with that. The 05's really were good with all the updates they had including the piston rings (the 03 and 04s burned oil) and the monoshock rear. But the vipers can be setup awesome as well, just a matter of personal preference. The RX will definately save you some money on oil.

RX-1 hands down. IMO, the Viper cant hold a candle to the RX-1. The Viper was a good sled, but its old, outdated technology.
viper unless it's a 05 rx1.I don't like the rx1's at all.The 05's are a nice ride though.
Here the funny. The viper maim is talikng about is mine. I would rather ride his 05 rx warrior over my viper on trails(the damn thing stucks to them like glue, so it is set perfect for me) buy I would rather have my viper off trail(the lighter front end helps soo much). If you have a viper I would keep it until the price of used Apex's come down(unless you are getting a smoking deal on the rx).
Yah, deal on RX1 is for $3200 CDN. Here in Ontario that is considered a smoking deal.

Pipe the Viper and hang on , you wont give it a second thought !
You need to keep the viper purey out of allegiance to the tuning forks as it was their last 2 stroker, and one of the sweetest sounding engines ever to hit the snow. I can't wait to get a thumper (nytro maybe) but never ever selling the viper. (of course I said the same about my 86 ninja too...and haven't seen that thing for 15 years
LOL, I have a 89 Ninja which has been sitting in my shed for the last 8 years. LOL
That's too funny - crap i laughed out loud at that! I do love my viper - an '03 mtn with a little TLC from jerry hauck...best part is it looks and sounds completely stock, so when i do run next to someone, they usually say something like "I thought those vipers were just a 700...aren't they?"
FYI - Final decision... passed on the RX-1 and ordered pipes for the Viper.
