Maxwell, you remind me of the Jehovah's witness's or a the Mormon missionaries that won't stop banging on the door peddling their verbal diarrhea. Even if the message has some merit, I won't hear it because of the mentally challenged young lad spewing it

I'm thinking the Pro is a dud..... not sure what all the hype is about, I took it out onto the lake in a solid 4" of fresh and it cornered like a tank.... not sure where they get the whole "flickable" thing from.....

Your not supposed to sit down the whole time when you ride.

Is that a joke? It's a terrible one. What brp spends on RND would surpass all the other brands combined in a year. Look who's been releasing state of the art new technology constantly leading the way year after year since the 670 summitx. There has been one "revolutionary" release that Polaris beat skidoo too and that was the weight loss on the pro rmk. But hardly revolutionary cutting out chunks of the sled removing the bolts using glue and having the thing literally fall apart on its own. Not to mention even though it was lighter the comparable summit still absolutely anialated it and would run for like 4 years! Best Power to weight ratio but still managed to make the low mark on the hill from poor traction and poor engine and clutching performance. So Congratulations on that one I've decided to hit the gym to make up for that 20lbs so my sleds can stay together for at least a year! Other than the extremely light Polaris rmk (which comes with a crappy engine and track combination and an abortion of a steering system) skidoo has been leading the RND pack for a very long time. Especially this year. They likely could have rode that T3 chassis out for another two years it was so far ahead in the mountain game compared to what's out there. Especially with the economy that's a pretty wicked move to drop all this new technology at once. Skidoo has facilities in the mountains specifically designed for research and development of these mountain sleds not Chris fawking Burandt saying give this thing some more flick ability and were a bit low on the instantaneous lift this year we better add a few more ponies but try to make it so it doesn't blow up

Wow. I get the impression you don't spend much time riding with any other brands. It also sounds like your knowledge of snowmobiles in general is pretty limited. You've done well at trumpeting some brochure's though... that's for sure.

What do you think is driving Doo to keep changing? If they indeed where the original 'best', then why keep changing? Why did they drop 'another' new chassis, if the 670 was the end all be all?
If guys rode there T3's nearly as hard as the Axis/Pro guys do, they'd be falling apart to. Look at all the videos, even from the weekend warriors. The terrain, for the most part, is no where near the same.

I agree with you that the Polaris is no competition for doo. If HP and climbing, and bouncing around in the more open alpine is your game, then your absolutely right. The Polaris is NOT the sled for you. If that was where/what I wanted to ride, and wanted it to last forever, I'd buy a Yamaha. I like how you brought up power to weight- turns out the Doo might not be the best.

You asked a question about riding big snow. Basically- where the doo is easy to ride, is where ALL sleds are easy to ride. It doesn't have the power of a 4 stroke, and doesn't handle as precisely as a Pro. What it does offer, is steering and rear supension from trail sleds, with a paddle track.

Skidoo seems to need to keep it's crowd fascinated with shiny things. The Pro/Axis works. The Cat- works. The best thing for you Doo tards, would be for Poo to add 20 hp and Cat to shed 20 lbs. I'd love to see what the frenchman would come up with then. It doesn't seem the other manufacturers are nearly as worried about their product "awe" and "gimick" value as doo. To me, that says something.

Does Doo make a good product?? yes. Does Doo make the best product?? No.

Well said! And who knows, maybe it is Doo's turn to be the best. I would like to say I ride a Canadian built sled again. Time will tell but I won't ride it if it does not give me an edge over what I ride now.

I personally am upset that my (and yours!) hard-earned tax dollars did not result in a product of at least luke-warm performance. You would think that a publicly funded company such as BRP would have engaged some of the aerospace guys - you know - the people expert in creating lightweight, high performance machines to produce something of value - to give them a hand.

I almost want to snow check one in a spiteful "gimme my tax refund" maneuver. Almost - but I'm the kind of guy who likes more than 120 horsepower at altitude.

you guys doo realize that BRP and Bomardier are 2 completely seperate companies owned by different people and have been since 2002
BRP borrowing from bomardier would be like chev borrowing from ford

not totally true....albeit two separate companies but the Bombardier family has major holdings on both sides.....so supporting one can be viewed as supporting the other
