i have a 2002 viper and i am a yamaha guy and i am sticking with it!. heres my theory though. i love the viper and the ergonomics but i dont like how under powered they are for a 700 and i dont like how its hard to make them ride better on on the cheaper side. i already tried pipes and my mileage was absolutely horrible. and i was going to put a edge skid in the rear but i also wanted some better shocks then the front with a little higher stance. but they got the fork design.
so im thinking if i buy a 2002 or 01 sxr 700 and pipe it would and throw some different skies , edge skid and different front shocks would i be happy with it. i know they got bullet proof motors which is a plus and probably way around the same as the viper any ways so i was just thinking. let me know what you guys think if my theory would suit me or not.
i like to ride back country and ruff trail so.

sXR no diff suspension than a Viper, are you just looking for a red head sled to pipe then? What mileage were you getting w/ the pipes on the Viper? If you like to go back country, you might want to make it a 136"
I have my '02 Viper, trail ported, 136", 1.25" ripsaw w/ 162 1.34" roetin studs, drop brackets, Peak Performance Head, with a pretty spot on 8dn20 setup and I was getting 8.5mpg all day long. Also, I put on Slydog Race skis w/ 7.5" shaper bars and they were night and day difference over the OEM blue skis. They actually float(6"wide) and the reverse keel goes where you aim them. I'm sorry that I waited till this year to change the skis.
Eventhough, I pulled the trigger last week on a '12 Apex XTX and it is probably the last year for me riding this sled.

Sounds like the best for you would be to get a SRX and modify the suspensions.
