600 pro

[pura vida]

and if it doesn't at least you have peace of mind. if a person is truly that concerned about the 800 motor i would highly suggest going with a different brand or going with a 600 as they are pretty much proven to be bullet proof. then go for the 660 for more power. still just as bullet proof and from what i saw all year, will run RIGHT with an 800 all day long. i was really tempted to go that route but decided to take the extra torque of the 800 in the end. sure love that 660 though, such a fun, over performing motor.

How can you compare those sleds, 600 and 800?
How strong is the 600 for a averange rider?

I'm 6'2" and about 260the without my riding gear on and it packed me around good. Was pinned for most of that video. The 800 def has more power and grunt but I think if you're not a super aversive rider and a bit lighter than I am a 600 is plenty. I went everywhere all the clutching bigger sleds did that day just had to work a little harder at it. That 600 I was on is bone stock 155 too.

I know...hard to give up that torque of the 800. Really really addictive....just want to pull it all day long!!

Flatlander boondocking, now that's an interesting concept.

NOt really! When conditions are good we have technical tree riding and steep hills in areas similar to out west ( not as steep but similar to what I see and have ridden out west). I have rode some pretty deep conditons in michigan and Wisconsin. And at our elevation 600's work well, but would opt for the 800 out west.

we do alot of flatlander boondocking in the northeast.

The 600 is going to feel underpowered to you if you are used to an 800. You probably will get used to it, but there ain't no replacement for displacement.

Skill is a replacement!

I've watched people on modded 8's get their azz handed to them by a stock 6 in the same situation... depends on the skill level.

I personally like the 600.... Very good sled.
