ZX or XP

[oldtimer]

I ride an 01 800 summit c/w 151 x 16 & simmons skis. Had it dyno'd and clutches set up. Lots of power for me. I go to mountains 2-3 times a year. Ride around foothills, Whitecourt as well. As my name says I'm a bit older. lol Question: Is there a big advantage to changing rides to the newer technology? Thanks for feedback.

 

[Trashy]

YES!!!
You will not be tired and sore the next day on a newer ride.
It made a world of difference going from a 2000 RMK, to an 04 Rev. Now I'm looking more forward to my Dragon

I would stick to the ZX. New SH&* is overrated. Stupid lightweight high horsepower nonsense!

 

[ferniesnow]

The newer the better! Less gas, less oil, less effort to pull the throttle, less noise, less problems......more warranty, more fun, more reliability, more $$$$......but take it from another old fart you'll enjoy the ride.

BTW if imdoo'm says, "I'm old like dirt, don't believe him!"

Youve been hangin with Maxwell to long.

 

[maxwell]

you know those bumps in the trail at the end of the day that make you want to end your life on the zx? xp floats over those like a fat kid hovers over cake.

the whole experience is so much more enjoyable and less tiring. gobs of power from the new engines that are hard tot touch with even a moded old sled.

And if you're a tall oldtimer you can stretch out your legs on the XP and then transition easily to standing up with no effort.

 

[Summiteer]

The difference in suspension is worth it alone. Even upgrading to a Rev would leave you feeling a lot better at the end of a day of riding.

 

[revdog]

It's the new rides that keep us old guys out there !!!
And get electric start !!!

I am betting $16000 that it is. I have a 2000 summit I am upgrading to a freeride. For that much cash it had better be a huge upgrade.

 

[Longhairfreak]

If you dumped 16gs into that zx it would lay a smackdown on a freeride and look 10x better. But dont bring it to Specialty or the freeride will spank you.

 

[Bogger]

You've all hurt my 670's feelers.... bastages...

 

[imdoo'n]

boggs they just don't understand the thrill ride the 670 can provide. ya rock that machine dude.
