my brother has a 2004 rx1 with 2300kms, been bragging that he can toast me. i decided to give it a try, my 99 Srx 700 is stock with 20,000 km on motor untouched has hauck growlers, studded track with 144 studs . his machine is stock also with a 1 1/4 ripsaw.
conditions were 6 inches snow with hard pack underneath. First run around 500ft, i pulled away right from the hole, never looked back. second run we decided to try a rolling start at about 20km that way he couldn't blame the studs for his lost. Anyway, same outcome. He was pretty quiet after that.
Should i be able to this with a stock srx?has anybody else raced a rx1 with similar outcome? Input please!thanks!

easily beat rx1's, can beat apex's if i get good start, till about 100mph then here they come, but i usually get out of it after that, don't like to pinch it too long.

only reason the apex will come around you is gearing. they are geared for way more mph than a srx.

I have no issues with my srx taking down apex's, and rx-1's. BUT..........................
No way in HELL it able to keep up with the rx-warrior I'm building now.

Just got back from race in Reed City, Mi., smoked apex's all day, beat every F7, F8, Crossfire, ZR's, did get beat by A/C 1000, some very fast turbo Nytro's. Overall awesome day.

SRX makes more hp & is lower to the ground plus it,s lighter....so it should win...by a lot!!!
i wish yamaha would start making them again love these sleds just looking at one i see pure beauty with the beast under the hood

A "special edition SRX 700" run would be cool.
The SRX makes more HP than the RX1? I thought the RX1 is 1000cc?

It is a 1000cc motor, but rated at 145 hp IIRC. The 700 srx is known to be 140+ hp.
The RX1 sits higher and weighs more than a srx does. Those 2 factors mean a lot for top end speed and acceleration. The SRX should beat rx1's easily, until maybe the top end where rx1's are fast.
