If you want to own a sled that breaks down more then it runs, go for dit. Like the saying goes you get what to pay for. Before I really know anything about sleds and when I just jumped into this sport one of my first sleds was a 07 Crossfire 1000. I thought b/c it was a 1000 2 stroke it had to be fast. It was kind of fast when it ran. My buddy bought Yomigods old 97 Vmax 4 which put a whooping on my CF1000. The real problem was by 2700 miles I blew motor twice(replaced w/ Long block from A/C, blew up my primary, blew up the ACT drive system, cracked the main a arm in the skid, And LOTS of little problems. I never took it up to the UP and did not have something break or blow up! The day I sold that piece of crap was one of the happiest days of my life.
Ps- there's a nice moded out V max 4 for sale on vmax4.com. Do yourself a favor and stay away from ANY artic cats!
