Ok, so for a couple years now I have been saving up for a newer four stroke. In the meantime I have been keeping my SXR up and have rebuilt the skid,gotten a new custom seat, two inch riser, revalved the shocks and put on pipes, reed spacers and woody's duallys.
Now I love to ride my sled. It is completely different how it handles the rough stuff and with the pipes it really rocks. A little gas coming out of the curves and it just swings the tail end out just right.
A couple weeks ago I went riding with some buds that had a vector and a venture and whenever we would trade sleds everybody liked the ride of mine better. Just the cornering and the sound and the way the power came on, all of it. When I was riding there sleds I felt like I was on a quad, or in the case of the venture, sitting on a small train.
My questions: is is this a normal experience for most 4 stroke rides.
And should I just find a low miles SRX or Viper and long travel it with and maybe find a good aftermarket skid.
I can almost afford a newer 4 stroke, but given the lack of snow and the fact that I'm not all that excited about them why should I spend all my savings. Or is an Apex that much better that an long traveled SRX? I know the 4 strokes are more reliable and all that and get better mileage with less oil, but I don't really care that much about that. I only get to ride a thousand miles a year anyway.
Sorry about the rambling, but I have been thinking a lot about this and I figured you guys would have the best input.
Tx ahead of time.
