Not yet! Hopefully before the Winter.

I moved from Florida where my toys was a Kawasaki PWC a STX-1100. Once I moved to Washington I traded that sucker in on an ATV.

I am looking for a 1 or 2 year old snowmobile for this winter! My neighbor has a Polaris, RMK-600 & loves it. What would you recommend for trail riding. I will not be into high marking. Also looking for a Mid-level snowmobile. I don't need the biggest baddest thing out there.

well sled's are the same as wheeler's every body has there own idea what is best i like 600 cc and up and i won't buy one unless it is liquid cooled some of the ride's we go on are 150 plus mile's a day i would look at yamaha they have a three year warranty unlimited miles that is a very good deal for a off road vehicle.

I have a polaris snowmobile. It is a lot more fun than riding quads. You can go faster and it is more challenging. I love the 2 stroke huge motors.

Guy,
Mash Z is not the fastest. Arctic Cat Thundercat is the fastest snowmobile out there. I have 2000 Arctic Cat ZR600. 600cc is the most poplaur cc.
I love my Cat. Two Stoke Rocks!

If it came down the sled or the quad.....sure going to miss the quad. Even though I ride in the dunes where it's wipe-open all the time, it still doesn't compare to riding a sled. Faster than my quad, climbs higher and harder, and all I have to do is pull up to the pump and put premium gas in it and go.

My buddies who have sleds that I rode quads with always told me I would like it more, I kept saying NO_WAY!!!, that was until I rode a spare sled they had one Saturday, by Wednesday I had my Summit sitting in the driveway. I then went riding 12 weekends in a row. I have to drive a minimum of 4 hours to get the dunes, I can drive less than a hour and be in the snow....

My sled's specs are in my signature block.

A really good snowmobile BBS is at http://www.trailconditions.com You have to sign up to gain access, but there are some very knowledgeable people there in the tech board.

I have a 94 V-max 600 performance model, I LOVE IT! I installed a faster clutch and got orange intakes it looks bad *** and it can rip the snow like none other and take jumps like nothing thanks to the huge *** TSS frotn and fox rear shocks. 600 is what I reccomend and thundercats can kick a mean roost and have ***** to spare!

grizzzzzz,
I ordered a 2001 mxzx800, black, red goodies,
last year I bought my wife a new 2000 Formula Z 600. I still own a 1998 SRX700 (very fast). I put atleast 1500 miles every year on sleds from my garage, the trail out of town crosses the back of my property.
Yesterday, at a dealer, I found a set of new take off wheels and tires from a 2000 Big Bear, man what a difference compared to the stock 23" Wolverine tires. The 25" tires raised the machine up but didn't seem to effect handling. Top speed is atleast 5 mph faster and I'm not always looking for 6th gear. It did loose a little low end, I cant grab a thumb full in first from a dead stop and wheelee any more --- it does pull longer in each gear though. My quad has a Big Gun exhaust K+N filter with a dyno-jet kit. The SRX has the heads shaved .010". Haulk cluth kit, Dyno-port tripple stingers, camo track 144 Woodies, Cobra windshild, I'm going to miss this sled--it should be sold soon!!!
