First Ride 800 Dragon

[IQTurboHound]

Sled is 163, has a can and lots of venting, rode 60 miles and fuel gauge said 1/2 when we returned. Extremely impressed, breaking in so I was easy on it.

Also rode Xp.

Dragon was brand new, XP was broke in (200 Miles) both 163's

Dragon, flawless performance, clutches spot on, zero heat under hood, explosive throttle response, (with oil in the tank), perfect out of the box performance.

Xp ran very well, noticed xp pushes on flat ground very bad, hard to turn on flat ground or hills, do not notice weight difference, xp "feels heavy"

Dragon has far superior handeling characteristics.

After break in, no doubt dragon will eat XP, "Tourqe monster"

Both good sleds.

XP owner qoute "I got f____d, Im getting a dragon! XP for sell!

Sounds good. Guess this goes along with personal preference though as far as handling. On saturday we were in chest deep pow. I have a 07 RMK 600 155 with the works, one of the buddies has a XP 154. I though the XP was easier to throw around.. Don't get me wrong i love my lil 6 and it is not a 6, it deserves to be in a higher class, but the xp was a dream to throw around, even easier than the iq raw, which i thought would of been impossible. Maybe it was just the deep pow?? Might get a 146 leftover at the end of the year

Glad to hear you enjoy your 800 Dragon. I still haven't seen one in person and can't wait to ride one.
