    Sled prices falling large ?

    I would think any 2-stroke turbo would lose its value quickly. 

    race rocket riders who buy them, and a shorter life span 2-stroke engine. 

    its a toy, not an investment. 

     

    As for investments, I'd much rather risk the ups and downs of the market instead of having cash stuffed in a mattress that depreciates in buying power every year thanks to inflation. If your savings are not growing equal to the inflation rate you're losing money. That being said, buying stocks without understanding what you're actually buying is called gambling, not investing.

    I know a guy who has an Indy 137" with the S4 and he rides with a guy who has a 900ace Skidoo. The Indy is louder, slower and burns 30%+ more fuel than the 900ace. He isn't exactly happy about it.

    I’d be disappointed to burning 30% more fuel

    It has more power than a 900 ace which is 90 hp. I believe s4 is 100 hp right on money. It depends how and where you ride. If I ride with my son or wife it's enough power. By myself trying to keep up with average trail rider it isn't enough jam usually.  For around farm and cruising  with family it's  perfect engine. Oil changes are a pain no doubt especially if you only ride it 500 km's. This is one reason I rather have a two stroke. Add oil and not have to worry about changing it, ever.  
    I like the new doo 130 hp 4 stroke but not weight. I like an etec but doo not making it anymore in allot of configurations. Maybe I have to buy that expedition too and put it thru the farm as a work sled 😆

    I Always liked the expedition lineup 

    it’s too bad Doo didn’t make a ETEC 650

    I only rode it for about a half hour, but it was enough to make me realize it’s not enough power. I’ve heard reports around the 90hp mark. 
    I think you would be very disappointed with the power.
    Extremely quiet motor, felt like a dirt bike, sounds like a tractor, just not enough power though. You could get into a renegade X 900T for around $22k out the door. 

    My old 4stroker sounded like a tractor too and I missed the two stroke sound

    What about the flooding? Both Elmira connector trails to our trails are flooded badly at the low level bridges. We have water with thin ice across our trail in one spot I checked this morning. There is crop showing right to the trail in one field I happened to drive by this morning. The trail had a thin ice cover over the  base which broke walking on it. It appears to me that trails are going to need to be fully checked over before any consideration is given to opening.

    I suspect your right, trails need a thorough inspection besides next week the temperature will end it here

    I tried a S4 Indy adventure the other day. They’re fine if you’re just a cruiser, and if you’re not a speed demon like some, but I personally found it had no power. I like the 130-140hp range, but that’s just me. There’s definitely a sled out there for everyone


     

     

    i have been reading it is between 80 and 100 hp, i like my 650 and it is 139 hp, I appreciate the feedback on that motor I was curious how it worked

    BTW, NOT a new rear skid in the XCR, just different torsion springs (long tail) They came off the XC race sleds and there's some folks out there have been performing this mod for a few years now.  Nice to see, the XCR now comes with the 7s as standard. No 850, just 650 and 9R.  Just imagine a 9r short track in the twisties.. YAY!

    your right i didn't communicate that clearly
