I've heard a number of different horse power *ratings for the new 600 HO motor, one as high as 135 hp. which seems hard to believe. I've heard *10% more than a current 600, but I don't know what the HP rating is for a 600 so it's 10% greater than what?? *
Have you guys heard anything? *I once thought about buying one of these sleds, but not sure if this motor has got enough "GO" in it..... Anyone test ride one? *thanks...

haha 135. *no way, i think the 2001 mxz 600 was 108hp, so it will prob be around 118.8hp

115 Honest horsepower would be great from a reliable 600.
tried the new engine in both the Rev and ZX-Renegade and it is a very strong and responsive 600. *buyers will not be disappointed with its performance so long as the reliability is there.

I heard 121HP last year when we went to order the wifes, but I would have to agree with rotaxrider on the 116-118HP. 114 HP would be good for a 600.

Are they putting the 600h.o. engine in the zx chassis or keeping the non "ho" 600??

as far as i know, i dont think that there is a standard 600 engine anymore. *just the H.O.
to my knowledge the standard 600 will remain in the Touring and Legend models.

we all know that doo's numbers are probably higher then actual say; but 110-116 hp and 100 mph+ is good enough for me. I have a 99 mxz 600 and I am totaly satisfied with it. I can keep up to my buddy's formula ss 670 with not much trouble.

OH MAN ITS BIG ITS BIG
HUGE HORSEPOWER
Another Mxz *- Doo doesnt deal in HP. *There smart enough to know that its almost impossable to have a consistent HP number from a 2 stroke engine with all the varibles such as altitude, temp, fuel quality, oil used. *They only deal in %s.
Doo has never lied about power to my knowledge. *The mach z has been dynoed at 155 averge however somepeople take delivery with 149 and some with 160+. *
All i know is Doo is calling this motor a HO. *The last time they called a motor the HO the motor got its own following. *(670 guys.)
