I just posted a pic of my srx on facebook. Someone made a comment theres only one problem. Its not a skidoo! Hahahaha. Yea I don t like to walk.
 
Only other brand id ride would be honda, if they made a sled. That comment was from a can-am outlander owner. My brother had one also, 1st one was a buyback. Alot of parts were made in Vietnam. Not Canadian anymore? I get confused with the bombardier, can-am, brp business

I was at a power sports store a few weeks ago and saw a guy trying out a can-am four wheeler when i walked in as i had to get some parts. When i was leaving I heard the guy talking to the sales man and said I'll take a yamaha grizzly instead of this thing. Sounds like the right choice to make if you ask me. :yrules:

So true... All of my friends with brands other than yamaha and polaris all seem to have motor issues. I told my friend that my MM had over 4k miles and he was surprised that the motor hadn't been freshened up. His doo needed a new top end before he even hit 2k miles.

Looking around on craigslist and such and everything over a couple/few thousand miles on it all have new top ends. I do not understand

A buddy of mine has a 05 skidoo rev that has around four thousand miles on it. Had to put a new top end on it. Then he didnt drive 50 miles and the engine seized up.
 
How much does that suck.....

I'm kinda bummed to be honest, I love 2 strokes, but Yamaha has phased them out which makes the ski-doo's appealing. But I refuse to ride a sled that the motor needs constant rebuilds and special care. It's 2012, all sled motors should be solid and have a long life. If american car manufacturers can finally make a motor with a long life, snowmobile manufacturers should be able to.

Kinda think the new Yamaha's are ugly also, but good looks don't make em run forever.

I'll be sticking with Yamaha when I upgrade from my MM
 
all 4 stroke sleds look ugly to me..especially the Doos..couldn't see myself owning a doo as the one I owned back in the late 70's blew a chaincase to pieces and then the motor blew on it..after that I went to Yamaha and never looked back...
