First things first, the sabercat did not come out until 04 so it should be an 04 or a fcat. If you can move into the 600LX I would I love mine. I saw a used one at my local dealer not sure of miles it must have just been traded in because there was no tag on it yet. I know some of the left over news are going for around 6900 in my area. What part of WI are you from??? If you can't make the move up I would have to push the newer 500.

Ken's Sports in Kaukauna. Ken's Sports I just looked at their site and it is still not listed. I saw it there last week Wednesday. If you would like you could give them a call their number is on their site. It would be a bit of a drive though.

Remember the sabercat 500 is only about 70hp compared to over 100hp for the ZR500.
