looking to buy a sled this winter....what to buy??

[Roy Maxwell]

Don't buy a green M8......Thats all I can say! before you know it.......you will be buying crappy polaris atv's!

Green is much prettier than black. Just saying.

 

[Roy Maxwell]

If your price cap is 6000 your not going to get a clean xp. Better off with the 04-06 rev like mentioned.

I think I know where he can get an XP for under $6,000.

I'll sell you my 2007 M8 snowpro for $4500..... then I can buy Maxwells 04 Rev....:d

 

[polarisdragon800]

07 APEX would be an excellent choice.

What!? Your kidding!!

Probably 1500 Km would be the highest I would go.

There's gotta be a reason skidoos are so much cheaper than everything else out there. Just saying think about it.

is that a joke lol? skidoos are more expensive new, used skidoos are consistantly 1000-2000$ more used than the other brands....

soo? quality. thats what thats about

The 2004 rev was years ahead of the m8 even to 2010. So keep that in mind. A 2005-10 m8 is like riding a 20 year old chassis.

Funny, I've ridden 20 year old sleds and both my M sleds don't feel anywhere near like them. I have no problem following revs and XPs... Try loosening up those bananarama doo yellow underwear a bit bud.

I thought they were more expensive because you have one, making them a high demand item.......

the ho motors were very reliable. 1500-2500k is reasonable.

ok so looking into a sled this year for my first time but yes i have ridin for a few years now with buddys so yes i know how to ride pretty good..... anyways what a good sled for just around here in alberta and also good in the mountains as i would be going there also.... and lets say for a 6 thousand doller tops price

thanks

If your looking and thinking about a rev, send ~Rowdy~ a PM here on the site. She has an 04 in mint condition and needs nothing, She's thinking about selling it and I would highly recommend it!!!

I had an 04 High Mark Extreme and loved every minute of it, now I'm on a Dragon and find it very comparable to a Rev. But not a Rev......

if you have mechanical aptitude you can do anything really, go with any of them and try and get a ride in on each, the cat you're going to be upgrading the diamond drive bearing(lots of info on doing that here), doo you're going to replace the crank bearing after 2500-3500(also many write ups on this here) and dispute all you want I ride with a bunch of revs and xps and not one has cleared the 3500 mark and all are maintained meticulously, poo well for the price you wanna spend you will have no problems finding a mint shape 800 but do your research on them before considering, usually they require some heavy mods to be reliable although there are a few out there that have and still are flawless from day one. Equally important is to take into account your local parts/service/sales shops, can make a huge difference when you need help

MAXWELL has spoken;he's buying a skidoo...

 

[d mills]

i had a 2001 zx. same geometry as the 2011 m8. so i am mistaken it is more like 10 years. my mistake.

hes got a point. skidoos never make it past 2500km..............

Good for you. Just because it doesn't ride like your mighty and all powerful XP or Rev doesn't make it a bad sled. Just saying...

 

[dezmitchell]

m7 .....great sled lots off upgrades available they seem really affordable and if you buy one for 4g you could prob turn around and sell it for 3500 not bad for a few months of riding and decide if you want something more from there.

as far as reverse goes its nice but you can survive with out it just think ahead a bit and dont park with your ski's touching the cabin...... its not like reverse does one any good when there stuck anyways
