Can't see it being much fun for other who have to ride with us REV guys. Put on 120Km last Sat on bad trail and next morning it didn't feel like I even went sleding. Still can not believe the ride. Just hope the sleds don't get to good in the future, it might talk the fun out of riding.

I'm glad to hear all this I'm picking up my new 600 Rev Monday. I planned on a Summit, went to a Renegade then dried a Rev and was instantly hooked. I went from one end of the spectrum to the other.

Can't wait

Great story! Folks that don’t drive a REV will think its BS but we know it to be true.

I'll say it again, there is only one word for the REV -- AMZAZING!

And I tell you right now, the young guys will have a great time on the REV big air and all, but the over 40’s will fair even better, I pounded the bumps (trails were not even groomed yet) all day it was about a 175 miler and the next day not a single ache.

Oh yeah, its AMAZING!

It's funny! I'm one of those mid 40's age riders with a not so great back. On most sleds that I've ridden, I cringed everytime I came onto a G-bump! Now with the Rev I feel like a 20 year old again. I look for dips and humps to jump, because now it's fun to DOO this because it doesn't hurt like it used too!

Sounds to me like you were with the typical Polaris rider (superiority complex-without having a reason to feel superior) I have beaten so many of these guys on the lake or river with Skidoo's for years. I have a couple of ZX's but spent some time on a rev proto last spring-if I can get rid of my Legend I am buying a 600HO rev.

I'm quite surprised that some people with lousy, slow sleds mistakenly assume that we, as owners of the finest snowmobiles on the market, have issues and complex's associated with arrogance. On the contrary, I believe the underlying issue is PURE jealousy and envy on theyr'e part. It is interesting however that most of the _ _ _ comparisons and braggadacio are in reference to the PURE one such as the indomitable XC.

Respectfully,
The PURE one.

P.S. Anybody know where I may find a good deal on one of these ***'s? (just for comparison sake of course).
