Not to start a brand war, but Summit or RMK?

[xpdfcwut]

i prefer the zx over the rmk just because the zx feels smaller than the rmk. dosent ride as good in stock form but fits me better.

Good informative post!! LMAO

From what I rode in the past, I prefer the doo over the Poo for handling. I guess you have to ride and see what feels better to ride.

As for quality, I believe some of the polaris motors had crank issues, not sure which ones or years... Doo also had issues, with the rings flaking, which is an easy fix.

I know the doo's are heartier when you smack a tree... LOL

Yes the 2000 and I think 2001 800 RMK's have crank issues....ONLY the 800's. I know for sure the 2000 did. The 2003 800 is a damn good sled. My buddy had a 2001 Summit and had all kinds of problems with it....but it could have just been a lemon. I think if you go for a Summit or RMK in 2002 and 2003 you can't go wrong.

How much do you want to spend? My buddy has a red snow check 2001 800. I just saw him the other night and he was talkin about selling it? I think it has like 800 miles on it. It looks like new and he rides like a puzzy so I know its in good shape. Plus I'll go through it for you and make sure everything is as it should be. I'll see if I can dig up a pic or two. I think you could get it for 3k. Pm me if you want.

Avoid the Powder Specials

Actually I wouldn't rule out a Cat either, except those Powder Specials.
Had a 2001 Mountain Cat 800 LE that was an excellent sled, 2001 & up.
