lookin gto get a sled for my girlfriend, woudl love to go with a yammy but there not verry chick friendly. she ways 110lbs and shes 5'

so far we are thinking of getting:

-04,05 rev 500ss mxz
-04-05 600 renegade
-f5
-polaris??

would love to find a phazer, but not sure if she will be bale to handle it.

also how about a 600 venom, i found a sweet deal on one but i think it might be to heavy, she has driven my viper and likes it but finds it very hard to steer.

also would like to get something that i can ride everyonce and awile.

also she loves off trial riding.

what do you guys recomend.
 
what would be a good price for a use dpahazer, im in canada an dlooking to buy in the states so not familar wit hthe prices.
 
local dealer sold his last one for 4200, 07 blue, but spring was here and he wanted it gone. I dont really know what they cost now, but I seem to remember 5600 or something like that.
 
Mine bought a 04 venom last year and she loves it, she 4"10 around the same weight as your girlfriend. it has electric start and reverse which is the best, i don't have to do a thing. she bought it for around $4500 and it had 4400kms
 
interesting i just found a 04 venom for $3000us. but the i fi could find a phazer for around $4000 that would be awsome.

SO she doesnt have problems turning the venom, can she handle the srx.
 
Venom

No she has no problems with turning the Venom it's way easier than my SRX, I'm wondering if you have to much ski pressure on the Viper. Last year was her first year and the year before that i would only let her drive with me on the backof my SRX, i was to scared because it's pretty snappy and she was not experienced enough. We went upto St Donat at the beginning of January because there was no snow here and she did 350kms that weekend which really surprised me, I thought i would be waiting for her at every crossing, but it turned out she said I was taking to many stops, go figure. I got to ride the Venom a few times last year and i loved it myself, Not as powerful as the Srx but the supension was way better. She even radard the sled at 96MPH which shocked me again for her first year riding. I had a deal just like yours last year, 03 Venom for $3200 out of the states but it fell through so we found this one in the Isell. I think he wanted $5500 because it was only 2 years old and since it was the summer he settled for $4500. Last year with our dollar being low and the boarder charge and the gas and time to go down there to get it i would have saved about 500 bucks but this year is way different with our dollar being par. Looking at some of the prices for pazers up here you could save a lot of money and i know she would love that sled also and you would get to play with it also. you can't go wrong with either sled. Good Luck
 
My daughter (17 now, 5' 115) rides my 02 VMax Deluxe and loves it. It used to be pretty darty in the deeper snow but the ski mod fixed that. Jumping back and forth between that and the Viper I can really feel the difference. The VMax just feels smaller. She has ridden it since she was quite small and handles it very well. One of those can be had pretty cheap. Trail riding she doesn't like to go much over 45 or so but I am thinking that has changed for this year. She drives a supercharged Grand Prix and has learned about the whole throttle thing...

Get her a Rev 500SS its the old 600 engine...perfect ride and affordable.....or if you can...a 600GSX limited(2up with all the creature comforts..and Blue and sivler like a yamaha..much like my avatar)...Renegade is also nice...No I'm not steering away from yamaha...but since you mentioned...I'd go with Doo over the others...and hell..you live not far away...support yer local manufacturer...
