Muskoka1 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I just go with Henry Ford's colour [black] and if I sell it to a younger guy he can wrap it anyway he wants! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Ox BRP is pushing their marketing towards the deep snow segment of the sport. For a lot of flatlanders this holds little or no appeal regardless of age. No trails in southern Ontario (and like a complete collapse of organized sledding in Ontario)Â what is a person to do. Trailer to Wawa & D'ville to boondock? Â Poo & Cat have intro'd new sleds for the entry level market. These are not old tech sleds like BRP offers if you want a low end 'shorty'. The TNT in the XP chassis doesnt compete w/ the newer sleds. You'd probably be better off buy a used sled of more recent vintage. Â Hey go nuts w/ the colour choices BRP. I don't think the other OEMs have gone as far left field BRP. Â Maybe I'll buy black next time & get the graphics shop in town do something I like.

Â If Doo offered any colour that you want, as long as it's yella, Pol offered only Purple, Cat Green, Yammi Blue, and Deere Green, then the late 70's early 80's would be back?* Â Per your schpeal, you are saying that the trail market in The Great Lakes region is dying, while the kids with snowboards that are buying machines are in the West, yet it's not best to cater to them? Â Â * Well heck, let's go a wee bit further and git Rupp Red in the mix too eh? Â Â Â Â Quote what is a person to do. Trailer to Wawa & D'ville to boondock? Â Well, I doo....

Arctic JC Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 New gauges look very nice!  Red/Gold MXZ XRS not so much.  Renegade XRS looks good.  Probably won’t be switching out the Yamacat any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
