im looking at a 06 700 151 also I would like to knock it down to a 144 mainly because of the time i will be in the flatlands. I have always had a mountain sled for the flats besides my first sled which was a flat track. You wouldnt belive how much you use the paddle track in the flats as well. I have had a 98 rmk 700 and a 99 mountain max 700 triple and now i have a 01 rmk 800. How would this 06 700 compair to those other sleds would it feel heavyer or lighter, I am guessing it would be about like my 800 for weight. I rode a 07 600 iq and I liked how it handled and probably would be a good sled but i am a biger guy and need a little more power. We do make it to the hills once or twice a year. any input would be greatly apreciated thanks
