Why would you want newer sled to ride once a year, make more sense to keep what you have.How many km on your 900 ace . That motor will run forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That motor will run forever Just want a second one looking for a two stroke this time. Keeping ace too, won't sell it, it is mint. Then I have a spare sled for a buddy to use and can get back up north if I can't find anyone else to ride with. Be easier to keep up with some of more aggressive riders on here too. Almost everyone bails on me when they find out I ride a 2017 900 ace 😆. 6500 km's on it. Half of that was in northern Ontario. Did big loop once too, in 2018 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Ya, sledding crowd is older around here, and really overall in general. What ya ride I don’t think is a factor most think of when riding, other than perhaps a sled not looked after causing potential break down, but even new sleds leave you stranded. Same as pace, a slower reasonable rider is not that far behind when you stop at intersections to wait for all to catch up, plus is it really about the race to get to your destination or about the ride it takes to get there, at whatever pace and enjoying that. It seems things change more so due to weather, conditions or peoples life that changes, that cause a change in plans. Personality conflicts might be a bigger factor for some. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use to be easy to find some to ride with. Last few years, with weather and all its almost impossible. I have a few buddies that use to ride and don't have a sled now. I wanted a two stroke since wife could use it too. She likes to ride when she can and then I have something a little faster and lighter to keep up to more experienced riders The map displays on new ones are handy, too. 😎 Lately only a small window to ride and there wasn't much snow when I had time off back in middle of January. Hopefully next year is better and a get a ride or two in with some one🙏. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to ride hard, all day. Now, as I enter my sixties, I have slowed it down and no longer have to wait ten minutes for the wife to catch up. Getting old sucos. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burndog Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Loosely keeping an eye & ear out for a fair deal on a new to me used sled, both dealer and private, just don't see it. My take, way overpriced from new, sellers hoping to recover what they likely never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take, way overpriced from new, sellers hoping to recover what they likely never will. Most sellers will negotiate abit. They all seem to list high and wait and see. I had a few say they go down a few grand after they aren't moving for a few months. I haven't seen any killer deals either but some good deals with low mileage and some warranty left. Dealer in kearny blew out a used vr1 2022 with 7s for 11,999 I believe it was. Went fast. Had around 2300 miles I believe. It was an 850. Haven't seen any 650's that cheap any where yet.

scottyr Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 My buddy just bought a really nice 22 Renegade 850 XRS with 4000kms for $10500 privately. I saw the sled - its really nice. I wish I bought it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance Recreation is blowing away all their sleds. They have a '21 650 VR1 137 with 1500 miles. Were asking $11.5 K. Now ad says "make an offer". Anyone not buying a sled now isn't seriously shopping, except maybe someone like Scott looking for a cherry late model Doo 600R. They are still scarce. VR1 650s are scarce too, but they are out there at good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not in a huge panic but I am definitely keeping my eyes open for a nice 600X or something comparable for $10K. All my buddies are getting rid of their sleds and I would have ridden more this winter if my dad would have come with me. My mom wont let him buy another sled but he is always up for rip somewhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
