Local Snowmobile Club Here Did Dealer Show. 4 Companies Were There. Holy Everybody Was All Over The New Cats. I Have To Tell Ya, I Have No Intrest In Anything For 2012. First Price Tags Are Crazy, Second For Me, I Am So Old School With Two Stroke Yammie Triples, I Have No Intrest In Touring Sleds Or 4 Strokes. Maybe I Am Just Getting Old. Bring Back The 75 Gpx, 78 Srx, 83 Vmax 540, 93 Exciter Sx, 92 Vmax 4 , 02 Srx 700, 97 Vmax Sx. Lol. 3:16 (yammie Tony)
 

I agree with Tony...have no reason for any 2012's or 4 strokes...not worth the money to spend.I love the old iron,they have taken me this far so what is another 10 to 20 years gonna hurt...in some cases sleds are priced more then some cars.At least with cars you can go 12 months of the year,sleds on average 2 to 3 months..there is like 1/10 the material on a sled compared to a car...lol..ridicules pricing on sleds these days..there are a ton of good used sleds around and keep the 2 stroke sleds going.... ;)! :2strokes:
 
the trick to ride rough trails with our sleds Tony is to have her wot pinned.That way you won't feel the bumps.We used to go thru ploughed fields wot with the leaf spring sleds..didn't find it uncomfortable..we were maniacs!!!

Got to be tough like the old days eh!!.today they make it to easy for riders,now that is not real sledding if you ask me.
 
I agree with you guys. Bought me a 1000 dollar somewhat fixer upper sx 700. Raised the seat putting a vector rear suspension in and long traveling the front so that it will or should ride like a new one. But got that triple sound and power that we all love. 4 stokers are way to pricey and still to heavy in my opinion
 
I love my old 2 strokes as well but trying to compare them to today's 4 strokes is not a fair comparison! The new sleds can run through bumps the old iron would feel like its going to break in half going through. My 835 SRX is a fun sled to drive but power wise it's tapped out around 190 hp. With my Apex where shooting for 350 to 400 hp on E 85 pump gas! Times are changing!
 
YA MONSTER, LIKE I NEVER HEARD THAT IN 40 YEARS, JUST HOLD IT WIDE OPEN WHEN YA HIT BUMPS, YOU WILL FLY RIGHT OVER THEM, YA RIGHT INTO THE TREES lol. 3;16 (yammie tony)
 
DAN, RODE A TURBO APPEX LAST YEAR AND A APPEX WITH SUPERCHARGER. THATS ME!!!!! but not at that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. 3:16 (yammie tony)
 
love my 2-stroke stuff too. still have a couple on the list to add to the stable (V-max 4, 440 srx) but I also plan on shelling out for an Apex soon. definately not brand new but still newer all the same. don't ever see me selling the current lot though.

i saw that episode. lol i think they came back with mixed results. using cups full of water and recording how much water was lost going down a bumpy dirt track at high and low speeds. i think one of the times they came back with less water lost while going fast. ha ha.
 
My first and only sled was a 1976 Merc 440 trail twister. I had it when I was a kid 25 years ago. I just purchased a used 98 SRX700. I have heard they are a rough ride, I figure it wont be any worse than the old Merc. Now we just need some SNOW in Iowa.
 
and we need some snow here to..I'll take some bumpy snow...lol..Looks like winter might have forgotten us here up North. Oh well at least the sleds are all shined uo and maintained..thats the most important thing..riding comes second...
 
Ill be hangin on to those vipers for a while. Heck i finally got them just how i want them!! Someday ill get a newer one but here to stay for a while. I would like a attak!

hey blue, look at it on the bright side. if ya dont havta ride them they dont get dirty. lol better hide on this one :hide:
 
with Winters getting worse every year ..keeping the old iron makes lots of sense to me.Besides..as fuel and oil prices keep climbing into the future..makes no sense investing in a new sled to me.I can burn a lot of gas with the money I would save on buying a new sled..like around 20 years worth or so..by that time I'll be finished with sleds and in the ground...
