So I'm looking at buying a 09 m1000, I have been riding Polaris iqr mountain mods for some time, so in used to light and tough sleds, but my current iqr is a 136", it's my spring sled. I found a good deal on a 09 m1000 that's been ported, slp single pipe and silencer, oil injection delete, extra motor mounts and torque arms,attitude fuel box, 162x3" track, headlight delete, full vented new clutches,!fox floats etc etc, my question is I've ridden m7's and 8's but never 1000's, and I ride the west, central Oregon mountains, tight trees and technical lines, and eastern Oregon and McCall idaho more open, are these sled's heavy tanks? I feel I am getting a good deal on this sled, it's in extremely good shape, but I don't want a big fast heavy sled that only goes straight, my other option is a 09 Polaris dragon 800 163" in really good shape... The 1000 is a lot cheaper and in realllllyyyy good clean shape so there is my dilemma
