Buying my first new sled!!

[jimbomaz]

Well, I'm finally doing it. Buying a new sled tomorrow. We've only been riding for a couple years, but I'm tire of riding old, used junk and spending money on it every time we ride. We're picking up a 550 Shift IQ. I know its not the fastest, biggest sled out there, but I'm really looking forward to it. I cant wait to hit the trails this year!!
Any advise, comments or what to look out for with this sled would be appreciated. I'll post some pics of it after we pick it up.

Ut oh..why's that? It's a bit late though, already bought it

be happy...your gonna have a lot of fun on the sled you have with no regrets...enjoy...

that's what is more important...

no big deal, i just think the 600 is a little workhorse and if you need a little more you can do the 660, enjoy your new sled and have a safe season

I'm sure I'll like it. I'm moving from a 1997 440, (back breaker). Plus, I dont think I'll have to sink much money it this one for repairs. All I wanted was something that I could turn the key and start, with reverse. We aren't hardcore riders. Just putz through the trails and have fun. I'm hoping this sled will give us what we want.

With the type of riding you described you will have an absolute blast, that sled will be lightyears ahead of your old one. have a great winter and pray for snow!!

Congratulations on new sled purchase! Have a great season with a lot of fun! It doesn't matter what you`ve bought, only matters you`re sledding
