Looking to buy a brand new hold over 2002 or 2003 MXZ. Here's my choice, just looking for opinions. For about the same price (within $100)

2002 MXZ 700 Adrenaline
2002 MXZ 800 Sport

Either drive for 3 hours or pay an extra $300 for a 2003 700 Adrenaline

I haven't actually gone to look at the 800 yet, just talked to them on the phone today

What's be big difference between the Adrenaline and the Sport. I know RER, and as near as I can tell from the Ski Doo website, it's running boards and shocks too?

Which one would you choose?

The adrenaline has got the gas charged shocks & heavier springs

Don't forget rebuildable! Aslo see here----------------------------------------

Go with the 700 if there isn&#39;t that much $$$ difference...you like it on the bumpy stuff and plus as said rebuildable shocks and heavier springs

Ride Height springs are NOT heavier. Only the front and I am not sure if the skid spring around the fron shock is heavier. I have the 800 Adren but for 2001. Fast sled but the weight comes obvious on long rides. Go for the 700 and swap out the factory reeds with V-Delta 3 and a 1/4" spacer. You&#39;ll keep up with most 800 with that set-up.

Oh, DPM too for the Adrenaline too right?

I think if the &#39;03 had reverse, that&#39;s what I&#39;d buy, you get the wide ZX-X chassis & running boards and DPM. I think shock/spring packages were the same in &#39;02 for sport and adrenaline lines. Adrenaline had reverse, extra running board traction, DPM and maybe adjustable toe holds? RER was option on the sport in &#39;02. I have an &#39;02 MXZ 800 sport, not bad, 700 does seem to have a better reputation though.

The 2002 MXZ Sport has rebuidable shocks just like the Adrenelin

It is the MXZ trail that does NOT have rebuidable shocks

Are they still selling brand new holdovers from 2002 ?

I have an 01 700 adrenaline and i can beat my buddies 800 . I have a clutch kit v3 reeds and his is all stock. All out he will get past me but I beat him 1000ft with out a problem. Another buddy has a tcat and Ive beat him over half the time we race up to about 70 or 80 and then it looks like i locked up the brakes as he flies by. I like the 700 but I would go with whatever fits you. I also get alot better gas milage than the 800 x.

Yes, I&#39;ve found a handful in the area most 700s Adrenalines, and some sports, a handful other stuff like Legends, and a summit even found a 2001 Formula Deluxe 700. Only found one &#39;04 though.

The one dealer I talked to didn&#39;t hide his "displeasure" with Ski Doo. We haven&#39;t had snow in this area since 00-01, that was a good snow year and everyone claimed we were in for another in 01-02 so I think some dealers stocked up and go screwed. With the REVs coming in 2003 anyone that bought was looking for a REV. He claimed Ski-Doo won&#39;t do anything to help the dealers on the older stuff.

Oddly enough I started looking for a holdover Polaris since the big hype is that nobody&#39;s buying them since they haven&#39;t changed. "Polaris can&#39;t give em away." people said.

The truth is, they&#39;re very hard to come by. I&#39;ve found two 03 800 XCSP (which IMO was the ugliest of the BNGs) and a couple of 04s, not very good deals on them and they&#39;re hard to come by. Go figure.

By the way, that&#39;s not a slam because it&#39;s obvious I&#39;ll probably have another MXZ soon. Just another example of needing to watch the "facts" on the Internet.
