Buying my first sled

[snopro]

I ride a 2012 Pro RMK 800 and my previous sleds were a Doo and a Cat so I don't consider myself brand loyal. Beware there is alot of brand loyalty on this forum...[/QUOTE]

Time to do some homework.

2013 XM VS 2012 XP: Same motor, drivetrain, bulkhead, tunnel, a-arms, clutches (except for primary)

Hardly an unproven chassis.

Go look at one for yourself.

Go for a 2013 XM or Pro RMK if you want new. Also consider the 2012/2013 XP Sport models (800r carb), they're a very capable sled for low $10,000's OTD.

-XM: First year sled, more power + reliable then Pro, unproven chassis (3rd yr on motor) and expect there to be some minor issues (doo faithful may disagree, but look at history of new model sleds...)
-Pro RMK: 3rd year sled, some refinements, about 40lbs lighter then XM, engine reliability isn't as good as the others, otherwise you can't go wrong with this sled (unless your Cat/Doo brand loyal of course...)
-Cat: 2nd year sled, too heavy, last year had issues that I suspect will be solved, best motor in industry (reliable + power)

I ride a 2012 Pro RMK 800 and my previous sleds were a Doo and a Cat so I don't consider myself brand loyal. I might be riding an XM next year if the sled proves itself this winter. Beware there is alot of brand loyalty on this forum...

I'm well aware of how similar they are and there still is plenty of unproven point on it. I'll let the sled prove itself on the snow at least a few months before I jump on the XM bandwagon.

You should sit on one of those demo's that were flying around and look at the odometer's........Not sure how anything can be unproven when you have sleds that arent supposed to come out until next year....that have 3000+ kms on them already.....

I'm pretty sure the one I rode at kusters was approaching 5000 lol. Very Good point.

5000 kms by hundreds of peeps with different agenda's. Not driven like you own it if you know what I mean.

I drive all my sleds like I don't own them

This has been well documented in bars, on snow and mud and other venues. You are a one man wrecking machine. Like Jackie Chan on snowmobiles.

Makes lotsa commission selling sleds to himself

Probably the kind of employee that gives back his paycheque to the owners to pay his parts bill every month. HaHa.

That has to get expensive! Not to mention how the trees feel...
