Well, I'm looking for a new sled and have I'm narrowed down to 2 sleds, a either a '97 V-max 600 or a '97 V-max 500. My questions are, are these fairly reliable sleds? And my riding buddy has a '98 arctic cat zr600 and just wondering how these 3 sleds would compare speed wise? b/c i need to know whether or not i can put on this sweet "Cat Eater" snowflap i saw.
