They also like dirt biking, but Spring and Summer hockey start up by the end of April just as the trails open. Grandson is going to be a well traveled, super experienced beer league player in 5 or 6 years. Not sure that life style is worth it for the lad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that they would increase the rebates on the 2023s and 2024s after April 1 so as help get rid of old stock instead of dealers sitting on them and paying 12% interest for another 8 months. BRP is very strange however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRP is very strange however. No one buying any way's really. I figure there will be some big rebates next Winter too if snow checks a fail. No way dealers will be able to take full amount of 25, with 24 and 23's still in stock 😳. I bet rebates come in august and early September to try and move old stock before 25's arrive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 They will build less 25s due to poor snowcheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, no one is buying anything at any price today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think she’ll notice the 20lbs. The doo is $1k more than the poo, but has a four stroke that should outlast the 650 engine no problem. I don’t see the point in 2 strokes anymore due to having to rebuild them eventually. I’m not the kind of guy that trades up every 2nd or 3rd year, I like to keep them for a long time. My viper has 15,000kms on it and doesn’t owe me anything. I’ll likely get another 15km out of it before I get rid of it. I’m hoping for the same experience with another 4 stroke. I love the viper, but can’t justify spending $22k+++ for the wife. Honestly, I’d just get the 900 if I knew for certain I wasn’t going to ride it! Leftover 2024 should be under 18k.

scottyr Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 I saw new 2023 Indy 850s for $13995 + freight at the dealer in Timmins a few weeks ago. Why buy a used sled when you can get brand new for that price? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maps may not always match the sled trail but normally close enough so your not lost. I was on a group ride in QC and the trip organizer sent us the routes to download for the day. Having the planned route and also the location of other riders in the group on the map was easy to track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
