This is why the sidewinder is the best sled to date…. Imho
Hell ya! You don't here things like that on this forum very often lol. It is entertaining listening to all the people waiting for sleds and getting notices not to start their new sleds and even more fun chirping buddies in group texts but at the end of the day I would ride any one of them, those new turbo G5's look like they are going to be a blast. Cant wait to get out here soon :beerchug:

It seems that things have changed, I think my sled is a good deal and it is a great machine but no one wants a 175 anymore, I guess the trend has shifted, I won’t drop my price anymore as this is my trade value on my sled if the dealer will still take it on trade, or I just ride it and take the hit next year, with a little work this thing will be in g5 territory anyways. The reality for me is that these factory turbo sleds are awesome but they are the most depreciating as well and no one will want them off warranty unless they can steal it, for me I am really evaluating what to do for the future, its getting out of hand for my budget!
Just asking because I really don’t get it, why is a 175 is becoming undesirable Vs 165?

I wish I knew, the trend now is to flip over backwards and jump and wheelie and hop overs I guess, not for me but that’s all you see vids of now a days. You couldn’t give me a 154, seen lots on the hill in deep pow and they suck, 165’s are better but unless you do a bunch of suspension work they wheelie pretty good to, I love my 175 but I am a dying breed I guess.

Ha ha me too I guess… maybe being in 50s now has something to do with it but that’s exactly how I’ve felt riding 165s of buddies vs. my 174.

Sorry another dumb question but what’s the life expectancy of the turbo 850 motors (unmolested) ? I see a pile with 500-1200km listed, and read one bit guys were saying 3000km?

I agree with 175 vs 165 .. I did it for easier resale.
as for yur motor question I can’t answer that but I wouldn’t be scared to buy one with 500-1200km on it.
and if you want an amazIng price and a fast 175 buy Catman10 it hauls the mail.

Thanks, Not in the market this year as Arizona is calling more than Revy but I do need to get a newer machine at some point my 2015 with 1500km is a bit dated.

Lots of turbos rolling with 4000km+ As for 165, they don’t need a bunch suspension work. Run a set of $70 spring spacers, crank the rear springs up to the stiff setting and tighten the limiter strap 1 bolt hole. Boom, you’re good to go. I see so many guys running a lose limiter, and have the rear skid softened up, the thing is going to wheelie.

Buddy has over 8000km on 2020.5 turbo still running strong. Life expectancy is the same as it always is some last a long time others don’t…

In 50's too but still prefer 155 vs 165 - can't imagine 174"

Some of us like wheelies!
