If you didn't ride a M series, what would you ride?

[Frostbite]

I got to wondering............ if I hadn't bought my M8 Sno Pro last spring, what would I have purchased?

For me it would probably be the Skidoo Summit XP 154. I started riding Skidoos as a kid in Northern Minnesota in the later 60's and early 70's. To me the idea of buying a Skidoo was like going home. As a kid riding Skidoos I learned to hate Cats and Scorpions at a young age (the neighbors rode them).

With that line of thinking, I was really smitten by the Blue and White Summit last year, the yellow 50th anniversary Summit (especially the logo) really got my attention and I just love the copper color of the 2010 Summits. Yet, in the end, the clutching and engine related issues scared me off and I landed here. I am happy as punch.

What would you guys be riding and why?

I'd take a crossfire and put an M skid in it and a 153 track...it still wouldnt be an M

 

[MEDIUMPIMPN]

Id prolly just ride my wife more

 

[Ryan-41]

Prolly a Polaris, because i like the dragons, just not as much as the M-series

 

[blackcloud2k]

I would be riding an xp if I wasnt on a cat. I love the assult just has a few issues that arent worked out yet in the motor. As for the off season I would prob ride the prettiest girl in the bar.

[colorado logger]

Someday I would like to try Yamaha again. Maybe turbo ed Nytro.

 

[heinens1]

I would ride the poo m and poo comparable in handling and i feel the skidoo handles alot differently Tryed one for 2 days last year climbed good rode down the trail good and in the pow just took alot more work than the m or poo Hell if you buy a poo you get a new top end on the motor every year thats worth it isnt it??

 

[1M800]

I would like to try a Turbo Nytro myself. Not sure that I would like it...but I'd like to try it!

 

[Backcountry Bandit]

turbo'd nytro...hands down. love my HCR but tried a T Nytro last year....i had a woody all day! just absolutely narly.... and they are getting lighter and lighter every year without compromising as much as the XP in strength...IMO

 

[Blk88GT]

Dragon 700.

 

[RC]

900 1m

I still got my MC9-1M. Nothing I've rode pulls like the Big Twin.

 

[sledneck_4]

my nxt choice if i had the cash flow would be a crazy mountain extreme sled

 

[TheBreeze]

D8

Dragon 800.

 

[Alaskan_awd]

Dragon 800 also, would have been gotten one if it weren't for the 800 problems. I love the IQ Raw chassis and have never ridden a cat so I hope I made the right choice. Tomorrow will be my first ride.

 

[KAWGRN]

everytime I ride I have to decide what I want to ride LOL,,,, and I had 3 CMX's,,, mabe next year again now that Marks making a turbo

 

[Frostbite]

Great replies, especially the funny ones!

I really liked the Dragon and the Assault too but, the engine related issues scared me off.

I too will have a Yamaha again, some day. I felt I was more than patient in riding my RX-1 for 7 seasons all the while waiting for Yamaha to build a legitimate mountain sled that was competitive without spending a fortune.

My patience finally ran out and now I'm the proud owner of my very first Cat.

 

[AKLankford]

Im pretty sure id be on a nytro... naw make it a turbo

 

[73GOLIATH]

iqr one of the best sleds ever made
