[tex78]

ok im on the bench again ..... should i keep my 07 800r rev and buy a spare sled [ one to ride here and one for just the mountains and well a spare for there too ? ]

or buy a new 11 154 xp ???????? so i have a warranty [ kind of getting tired of fixing chit ]


or buy a boosted m8 with tons of extras ... for the same price as the new xp...

That is the first time I have heard the words "07 REV" and "trusty" used in the same sentence! I ride a REV and love it, the money to upgrade would not be worth it to me. My humble opinion......

A boosted sled would be a lot of fun but if you are tired of fixing stuff a turbo'd sled is not the answer.

What he said

 

[tex78]

ya thats what i thought..... a boosted sled would be real fun to have tho.... and for 10 g its a seal of a deal

 

[tex78]

its been a real awsome sled tho...... untill the brp updated engine chit a bearing with 1000 miles [ realy sucks nuts ]

other wise the chassis has 7000 miles on it [ thats the 04 part of the sled ]

shheeet tex i thought it was an o4 rev with a 07 800 clapped out motor you lyin to us? fix the 04 ya still have an old sled = ? put a new short block in $3000 -what your short block is worth, + time etc, =still a crappy ol rev. spend the money get a xp etec, ya know ya want it bad. yer just makin excuses not to buy it, lame at that. the m8 ya had better dicker harder, as ya know it won't last for ya.


with the new sled you will lose money from the day ya sign the papers, and lose more as you drive it. the old iron ya have already lost all the money, although you now have to dump more in. the 07 was a pos, 08 a little better and the new motors much better.

i say keep the old crapper and thus i can be out front . hehe

i see they are having piston issues with the etechs........... sure ya have warranty but god all these new sleds and issues... just like all the older po po dragons and there piston - bearing issues ect.... what a chit show that is

 

[ferniesnow]

I like the idea of New! That implies you are not getting other peeps headaches, have warranty and can doo your own mods.

BTW, a Doo would be nice for the DooTalk ride.....just saying

it is a tough decision, but i can say i never looked back after buying a new sled, love the xp.


maybe he should buy mine from me. may let it go cheap

Here's the deal Tex. A 07 Rev is worth next to nothing with 7000 km on it with a running engine and is salvage with a blown engine. Why spend $3000 or more to fix a sled that has not great resale value. No one will give you the $3000 extra if you decide to sell it. You are better to put the 3g in your pocket, sell the chassis to someone like Dusty or through Kijiji and put all your money towards the new, sale priced PTEK with warranty. Thats my 2 cents. Good luck!



P.S. The boosted cat is fun but only fun if you like to wrench.

If Larry will pitch in the paint I got the beer, it will be worth more that way if we did the pink paint job ourselves

not sure what you'd get selling as is. $2000? you may still be ahead ($5000) - ($3000) for motor - time labour etc($1500) leaves no money on table. ya may be better to just sell sled or intakll a used motor.
