From what I understand from the dealers in Ontario only the larger dealers are going to be allowed 1 H1. And they are to be $1000 - $1300 Canadian cheeper than the V2 650 LE. They also have every thing the V2 650 LE has EXCEPT the winch. Now this is just what I've been told from about 4 or 5 different dealers, so I don't want to start some big rumor that isn't true. So if anyone has any other first hand news PLEASE let me know. Oh by the way average price for a V2 650 LE in Ontario is $9800.

 

Last year, an '04 650 could be had for ~9500. I was quoted 10,500 for the V-2 this year. That is list though and I'm sure I could knock a grand off that. I heard nothing of limited quantities, only that you can only get black LE's until the summer for the H1. He did say that the H1 pricing was supposed to fit between the 500 and 650. The 500 listed for 8900 (manual) and 9100 for the auto. Once the "regular" models come online, I'd expect them to be in and around 94-9700. The regular models have the winch/warranty deal, the same as before.

 

How much longer before they just call the HI a 2006 model? Arctic Cat has 2006 snowmobiles out already.

 

Bluethumb thanks for the info about the H1 not being limited quantities. I think it was just a few of the dealers trying to get me to put a deposit on one. I hope it happens soon so I can get the quad I want not one I settled for. (by the way I have a 2004 Wolverine for sale lol) As for pricing have you got a real life price on a V2 for 05? I have them all around me at different dealers from $9100 to hold on to your hat $12200. These are all LE models. I even had one dealer(which happens to be the closest to me) try to sell me an 04 non LE for $10,000.
