I sold off my sleds back in about 2000. My last machines were two little '97 Polaris 440s. They were light and fun. Unfortunately, where I lived I got very little use out of them without hauling them on the trailer first. So they went away.
Where I live now, we are in better snow country and right near the trail. I'm thinking of making the plunge again.
Here's the deal:
I don't need to go 100 mph.
I don't like to spend a lot of money.
I don't like 2-strokes. (Sorry, I know that's a sin among sledders.)
What do you guys know about the early 4-stroke sleds? The early to mid 2000's sleds. I know Yamaha is (was?) the benchmark in that arena. The new BRP-SkiDoo machines are probably better, but at $10K + each that is way too much for my blood. I'd like to start researching now and look for one to buy this or next summer...
Thoughts, comments?
