bombardier releases blair morgan rev replica

 Bombardier announced a limited edition 2003 Blair Morgan MX Z-REV which debuts this weekend at Canterbury Park, Minnesota's snocross races.

The new sled celebrates the incredible success of the Ski-Doo® MX* Z-REV™ and X-Team racer Blair Morgan. The biggest name in snocross, Morgan won 18 major snocross races riding Ski-Doo snowmobiles in 2002. The MX Z-REV, in Open Mod form, won 12 of 15 major races, including two X-Games gold medals.
 
The inspiration for the Morgan-edition sled is the 2003 MX Zx 440 LC race sled. It sports a nearly identical black and yellow color and decal scheme, with 7c race numbers (Morgan's number). Morgan's autograph is emblazoned on the side of the seat. A specially-designed sled cover, reflecting the decal and sled design, is also included.

But the beauty of this sled is more than skin deep. It is equipped as the hot MX Z X-package, with the Rotax® 800 Series 3 twin. The Morgan edition also features the REV-X tilted tunnel, straight from the'03 440 racer, which is six pounds lighter than the articulated tunnel.
 
"The Blair Morgan-MX Z-REV combination has proved nearly unbeatable, and this is one way for us to celebrate that excitement," said Jean-François Guertin, Ski-Doo Director of Marketing. "While consumers may not be able to ride like Superman Morgan, now the lucky ones who get this special sled can feel like him. After all, this sled is very close to what he uses on the race circuit"

The Blair Morgan MX Z-REV 800 X-package arrives in dealerships in mid-month (about January 15, 2003), with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $9,649 (US)- that's $12,649 CDN, eh?- with cover included. Only two per authorized Ski-Doo snowmobile dealer will be available.
