Just was at the dealer looking over the new 800's and they are surely sweet.. I just wonder if they got them to out doo the 700's yet? Sure is a kick in the ballz to get your azz handed to yah by the ole 700's! Seen it many times last year.

You guys are on crack. The new 800 will walk on the 700 for sure. Especially the '09's with new maps. If it doesn't then the 800's have less than 140hp. Don't think so. My old Liberty 800 can WALK on a D7 all day long. At least that's how it panned out last year.

Yep you will have to get the ole post count up so peeps can think you are smart again..LOL. What they dont know...haha. I was over at Earls picking up some parts last Saturday and seen your new ride. They have some sweet factory parts on them now. I asked Earl why he got one cause its hard to mount mirrors to that style of hood....LMAO. He didnt take that to well:D

Ha, ha, that's a good one. Well your 800 liberty may walk on the D7 for a short period of time but it's probably you who will be walking soon enough with a crank that is about ready to tits up!:eek:

The D7 was and is heads and tails above the old liberty stuff. As for the new 800's from last year and this year, I wasn't all that impressed with the 8's and have no problem keeping my D7 for a good while longer.

Trust me the new IQ chassis is light years ahead of my old edge chassis, why do you think I bought one this year? ;) I rode with a D7 all last year in every single type of snow condition. Even rode that sled a couple times myself. It couldn't ever walk or outclimb me. My edge has almost every mod you can throw at it, his D7 was stock. Both pulling correct rpms. His 155X 2.4 did float better than my 159 x 2" edge. I am not biased, I tell it like it is unlike many people on this forum. You guys take stuff too personal around here lol. My Liberty motor is getting the full IndyDan treatment as we speak. I'm not worried about that motor holding up now...

I rented an 07/700 last year when my 02/800 broke a shock and thought it was great. Liked it so much that I bought an 08/800/163. You 700 owners should share the meds if you think that your 700 will match the 800 thats just to funny!!!!

how much faith do you have in the dragons not having crank issues?
