Snowmobiling blues...
Always drove Yamaha. Drove a 600cc two up for years with kids one the back and when small up front too. When they became teenagers I bought the 1000cc 4 stroke RX1 and no way they could keep up, it's heavy and can be tough on the shoulders steering trails at the end of the day. The last two years I've been riding an EFI 550cc fan cooled Arctic Cat we bought cheap and loving it. It's so light and easy to steer, even with the low power I can keep up easy to big ones in the tight trails. I ride at the back now, get "move over old man" from my boys now but I get there when I get there.
If I was to buy one today I don't know if I'd buy a 120hp light trail ripper or a Pantera, remote starter, heated seat with all the bells and whistles....oh yea baby.
