I get it, just busting some balls.   For where I spend most of my time riding, lightweight 2 stroke makes the most sense.    I am not going to change, sleds might, but that’s what makes sense riding district 7.

That is my big beef with Lynx.     I never lost so much money on a sled as I did on my 24 Rave.       They are more money than an MXZ XRS new and resale for less on the used market.        I loved my RAVE but would only buy another one if I knew I was keeping it for 3 years.          

Yep, would be nice to have each one and be able to ride both enough to justify it!   Not about what society should believe, it is what you want/desire - come on spidy, far from a conformist/sheep, just like you are not! Reality is most riding the area I was are doing multi-day trips and based on this and the type of trails, 4-stroke is the go to sled and for good reason, IMO. Would a 2-stroke be just as much fun, no doubt it would be, but I can say for me, the switch has been very welcomed that I was on fence about making the switch for a number of years.....I really like my current sled and the setup.    I really do not find the weight bad - but that is based on what I ride now a days - I can see how it might be though if I was hitting tight twisty mogul'd out trails every week.   

I don't know - I certainly don't look to the area where you were riding for any type of guidance on what society in general should believe, so I am not about to start with the sleds they ride either.

Miss my 4 stroke for cruising, but don't miss the weight.   Inquired about a new XRS, my 2 week old 2026 Lynx Rave depreciated 10G, nixed the idea and will ride it again next year
