That's the new side by side Elite. Yep, that's the price. Only 500 were built.

my dealer is selling them for 17,000 us I asked them so 25,000 is way to steep unless its in CAN.

I'm looking forward to getting one -- you know, on my 90th birthday (40 years hence).

I WILL go for the turbo option (unless they are all hydrogen-cell powered by then).

two wheel motorsport in Guelph has one. i tried talking Ron Ashley into having a demo day for it so i could test it out. :D he said the only way i would be driving it is if i gave him $25,000 and i could do whatever i wanted with it :slick: not sure it would hold up to the pounding my 440 goes through tho. :lol:

I've driven one and was surprised at the power. If you do ride one, be sure to wear a helmet, as the roll cage is mighty hard! If I hadn't had one on, I would have been knocked silly (sillier) a few times. :crazy:

What are they like to drive Zog? Do they have a gas pedal and steering wheel or handle bars with thumb throttle??

They need alot more ski pressure, as they tend to push through corners. However, it's very difficult to adjust the limiter straps on the Elite. It has a yoke like an airplane, with a thumb throttle. Very cool!

I saw one on the weekend at the Owen Sound races. Pretty cool. Punchy and another few guys were cruising around in it for a bit. $25,000 is a little steep. But if you are and older couple just into cruising it is no more than 2 new sleds would be. Plus, 1/2 gas, no oil (4-stroke). Etc. Worth it in my opinion.

They have one at St. Onge Recreation in Barrie. Looks like it would be fun to take it out for a ride.
