Good on you dude! I gave up on sledding quite some time ago... In fact my last sled was a V-Max if that gives you any idea of how long ago it was.

That's cool looking, but it's missing a couple of wheels.
Wouldn't be very useful down in these parts... unless maybe you could make it run on sand.

Holy shit, I'm so glad there's no snowmobile weather down here. 120 mph at 80 below is just crazy.

this one will probably top out in the low 90's since it's 5 more hp than my old sled and is lighter as well (and my old sled topped out at 92-ish indicated).

I won't have to worry about 120

Not many do. All sled speedo's are notoriously optimistic just like on bikes.

Oh, and the 1100 version of that sled is a 4 Stroke.

Very nice and badazz man !! The wife and I were in Snowshoe, WV not too long ago and did a backcountry tour with some crazy guys that were more advanced and asked if we wanted to reschedule and of course we said he11 no and went anyways.

Had a freakin' blast !!!! Honestly thought we were going to get hurt a couple of times but we didn't.
