Probably my 1977 Moto Ski Nuvik 340. Probably put more miles on that than any other sled I've owned over the years. Back in the day when we had snow in the winter on the prairies.

As kids we rode a 78 ET 250 everyday after school and on weekends.... when chores were done of course. The thing i would really like to get my hands on is a harley davidson. The blue and white. Dad had 2 of them and I would really like to find one

Probably around the 45-50 hp felt like more but remember no suspension

444? I think that was the first L/C in 1978

I have a 78 Everest 444 and I think the Futura is the Moto-Ski version?

 

[popcorn popper]

Yes moto ski version. Not 444 its the 467 cc I believe liquid cooled 464 engine type. Snopro figured in that 55-60 hp range.
