I couldnt afford a rev this season :( Im just thinking a zx 800 (144-151) would dominate a 98 rmk 600?

I think people forget your buying this on a 15 year olds budget. You don't have a truck to move it. I think a zx is in your 3300ish budget. I remember how slow those hundred dollar bills came to me when I was 15. Good for you for getting as much together as you did!:Happy6: Rev would be nice but in the 3000 grand market it would be a roller at best and probably bent. I look at zx's as a big step up from my s chassis (and your rmk) If your going to spend it all ($$$) a zx is good enough for now. Its better to have something ok than something out of your budget you can't even afford to use.

Oops I'm behind he already bought one!

The ZX was a good sled in it's day. If ANYONE who has ridden both had the choice between them for the same money, you'd be a idiot to pick the ZX. Most people are on crack with their ZX prices to.

Rev has more power, less weight, more comfortable riding, easier to ride. Advantages are endless.

The ONLY things I can say are better on a ZX is they will take more abuse from rolling, etc as the revs will break much easier.

I wouldn't go back. I'm sure it's way to much sled for you, but RT1000's can be had for cheaper then revs and are a whole nother beast. It feels like going from a ZX to rev did :d

$3300 will not buy a nice rev, but it's not far off. Better IMO to get a nicer older sled with lower miles then a beat up miled sled for a newer model.

lol cyle, if you roll a zx, numerous times the hood is done for, ive seen it lots, and ive rolled my rev and seen lots of revs roll and no damage whats so ever, a tip is to leave you risers a tad loose so that the fold down when rolled, ive seen my hood come open and just bend with it and never broke haha, and rt for a 15 yr old is a bit much and ive seen andre hes not a big kid haha

gratz on the new sled dude, happy riding

Thank god i have a job! Now all i have to do is get her ready for this season and let the snow fly. I hope i can make some mountain sled buddies. I wana hit up the mountains more. =)

Now Maxwell, I see some things developing.....are you setting something up for a road trip?

Maybe, just maybe, this is a way to get introduced to Andre's friend at Hooter's (the one in the avatar) or Joey's sister.....thoughts anyone
