How much Power do you need to be happy :D :D :D
Give me an 800 or give me death I say! SWRules

never said for what? I could trail ride a 1050 triple.

:withstupid: i would love an 800 tripple

ZR 900, thats the biggest i would go. I would prefer an 800 though.

I would say 800 and no bigger because insurence in Ontario is just killer but if I had to pick one it would be a Ski-doo Series 3 700 twin or the new 600H.O. SDI.

A turbo RX 1 sounds interesting..........

Id like to ride a PSI genisis 900 in a 05 IQ snowcross chasis :D

This is SNOWMOBILE WORLD! Maybe a SNOWMOBILE :lmao:
Everyone else seems to know :cool:

700 is as big as i would need , and 600 is my prefered size

I always thought a flat 4 (boxer) design would be neat. Efficient design, no way to get it any lower. Plenty of room for an intercooler above it....

I voted what I currently ride, not what I would ride. For me, weight is a big factor. If they made a sub 500 lb 1000 cc two stroke, I'd probably buy one, but they don't...

With more 4-stroke powered sleds in the future, get ued to seeing bigger engines. Just look at the motorcross scene - 450cc bikes to compare with 250cc 2 stokes. So unless alot of 4-stroke stuff gets turbo'd ( I doubt it ), the 4-stroke stuff will be larger to provide comparable power.

I am looking at the Mach Z twin, but really dont need a 1000cc trail sled :crazy: .

Wait a couple years and you'd be putting 1200CC into the poll.

Why does the poll only go to 1000? Right now I am at 992 (triple) and I want more, yes for trail. Do I need it, no, but a quick example, right after The Tequminam Falls, on the north trial to Paradise, there is a little lake, adn when I hop off that trial to race, I want to win!

fast,,, where is that lake at?? I cant recall it
as for size, a 600 is plenty fast enough for running trails, I have a 700 and a 900 and I like the power of the 700 the best,,,, the 900 is great across a lake though,,,

:lmao: you still have not figured it out yet? lake running ,grass, snow-x ,trail riding.on the trail the 700 is nice out on the lake or grass give me a big triple of at least 1050.

If they make something detter than my 1000 then I will get it. so far with the work I have done its finally scary enough for this yr :) wait till fall though :cool:

Well im a 16 year old rider who weighs about 125 lbs... for the way i ride i love my 500 XC SP.... who knows maby that will change?

700 triple is great but I would not pass up a 800 triple. :D

440 or 500 with LOTS of travel :D

Heading on North trail out of Newberry, just after the gas stop (the one that is 4 miles after the falls), it is right off the trail, it is small, but a good short lake race. Both times I went through there, there was a few people racing it.

Been ther done that thats awesome!!

What about the Thundercat 1500 Prototype aired on SnoTrax television a couple of months ago?

i mostly ride in the michigan u.p on the closed seasonal roads trails. and i prefer the torque of a big bore, to lift my skies over the halfpipe sized whoops. and the consistant high speeds of the straights. seams like everytime we ride there, we are dragging some poor souls "piped and clutched" small bore to the road with a granaded engine. yea my big bore is a little heavyer,but at speeds of 60.70.80mph over stutters and holes, it stays a little more stable than my smaller lighter sled ,and i don't have to keep it "pinned" for speed,and have nothen left to lift it over the unforseen monster bump! it does take a little more to handle the corners on my big bore, but do you all rember "FAST IN THE STRAIGHTS SLOW IN THE CORNERS" my kids might be comming the other way! long live the big tripple

No bigger than 800(in a 2-stroke anyhow, 4-stroke is a whole different subject), right now I ride a 600, and other than crossing lakes, and lining up and racing which I not really into, I find that just playing around and riding trails I can do anything my 700 riders can do, also with the rising cost of gas, licenses , insurance I do not for see my self going any bigger than a 600, but with the ever increasing popularity of 4-strokes I thinks it time we start classifying sleds by H.P.

Just love my 600, just wish it had SDI type fuel economy. With the type of twisty trails around here don't really need much else.

i would have to say 700 for me. At least thats whats coming next year

Draw the line when it no longer draws you to the edge.

wouldnt mind a 1800cc Genisis motor with 325hp. necesary... no cool to have friggin right!!

I would go no lower than a 800 to haul my fat asz around.

I think I would answer it as big as my wallet lets me!

Alright!!!

That's a tough call. I always thought that a 600 was the perfect size, but because of a super deal ended up with an 800. Now I don't think I could go back. But...if I was buying a sled for next year it would likely be a 600.
If money was no object, I'd go as big as I could find, just for the thrill of the occasional blast down a rail bed or across a lake.
