Rode a few miles on the Z1 this week. The machine is certainly impressive in all ways but one. I was not impressed with off the line power. The machine makes 125HP and can certainly get up to 80 on a loose snow trail..... but it is slow to take off. I would say it cant be much faster then my Z570. I was clipping along at 70 and you feel like your going 50. Everyone in my group took it for a ride and liked it.... One liked it so much he bought the sled. We rode some moderate trails during the first day and my buddy was right behind us when I was working just to keep my machine from launching over the bumps.
I am thinking that cat will have to put a turbo on it. A turbo would certainly put this machine in the running as one of the best four stroke performance machines. I am hearing rave reviews about the F1000 but am not in a hurry to go back to 2 strokes. I am definetly looking forward to next years sleds now.
