I remember back in '94 or '95 when we were up at my buddy's cabin by Maynooth and one of the local guys we rode with showed up with a brand new(first year) XLT Special Xtra 12.
I thought it was the most beautiful sled I've ever seen, even with the purple on it!!..lol... I loved it and I was happy!
I may have been riding the SRV or the VMax540 back then and it made our sleds seem ancient and irrelevant!
All of our old sleds seem so small and low to the ground compared to it as it towered over all of them. Then I felt sad...lol..
Trade in value too low, and no bonus for all the extras, such as freshly rebuilt Elka shocks, new Duponts, new Adventure carbide, new Rouski Evo Wheels, etc
