Jim, 40% of the market? Maybe, but I bet MN is probably 40-50% + Polaris.
Good morning Lee!

But not all are great. Before the rev the ride and suspensions weren't very good. On my 99 mxz 600 I was very close to buying a polaris rear suspension if I could have found the mounting hole distance measurements.
Actually, hate to break it to you, but Arctic Cat was number one in 2011 and 2012. Ski-Doo was #2.

Ski-Doo prior to the Rev XP chassis were not good riding sleds. Polaris was much better then. Now they are all pretty equal.

At the end of the day they all have issues and strong points. Yamaha are the most reliable, but are over priced and heavy. Polaris are cheap, but maintenance heavy. Cat are the most advanced, but break all the time. Doo are reasonably priced, but have chassis and motor issues.

Good Morning Jim, Jim, Troy, Lee, Jay, Mike, Gerry, Dave and anyone else stopping by.

I'm looking forward to the weekend!! Lots of relaxing to be done and an a$$ whooping to watch.

For a 4 day work week, it has been long.

I know almost nothing about sleds. All I know about is that it wouldn't matter what brand I owned. Maintenance would suck and I'd barely be able to use it.

How is everyone tonight?

Troy ... I'll throw my vote at the Saturn being a turd .. not you.

Dustin ... for $1K, you might get lucky. Then again, you might end up finding the biggest POS on the planet. Plenty that can go wrong with a $1K car. I hope your brother isn't expecting longevity or reliability at that price.
From the looking I did last night, There are a few slightly rusty 130k hondas/escorts out there near 1k.... if he keeps up on maintenance it'll last a few years. (assuming he doesn't buy a turd). It's getting him to spend money on maintenance that's rough.

looks like Yamaha wins then- assuming you are ok being heavy? (sounds like a 7.3 there...)
