I currently own a 2002 ZL800EFI SS. I'm up to 5400 miles and will be buying a new sled before next season. There is nothing wrong with my ZL, but I want to keep it for my wife and I don't want to rack up any more miles before I hand it off to her. I still want it to be reliable for a few more years. It's been a great sled with zero mechanical problems in the 5 years I have owned it. I take great care of it and it still looks brand new under the hood.
I found a leftover 2006 Crossfire 700 EFI for $6599 out the door today at a dealership. That's tax, registration and everthing. Sounds like a great deal, right? I ride trails mostly, but like to venture off trail a lot and find the fresh powder. Will I be happy going from my ZL800 to the Crossfire 700? I've heard that the Crossfires 700's don't have the top end and my 800 would probably leave it in the dust. I've been very impressed with the power of my 800. It is neck and neck with my buddy's Sabercat, my brother's REV800 and my buddy's Switchback 750 Four Stroke Turbo. Would I be disappointed in the power of the Crossfire 700? Should I look for a leftover '07 Crossfire 800? How would the power of that sled compare to my 800?
How does the Crossfire handle the trails? I've heard others say that it handles the trails great. Just looking for some opinioins from some Crossfire owners. I'm really not impressed with the new F series and I don't like the direction CAT is going. The new sleds just seem cheap to me. I never thought I would say this, but if I don't get a Crossfire, I might jump ship and buy a Yammi or a Poo. Thanks in advance!
