I love mine. I loved my 05 m7 141 but after 4 yrs of abuse I needed a new sled. I didnt think the 09 m8 was going to be all that much better but it is! Rode the crap out of it last yr with only a few little problems, all of wich were entirely my fault (bent back tunnel section etc...) All it needs is a little help from some impeller wheels
Silly question, how would you like it when your sled beats your buddies XP after he just got a pipe/can/gearing/clutching, 2 other stock XP's and a Rev and your M8SP is stone stock?????? That's exactly how I felt this day too
best handling sled ive ever owned but it is down on power compared to other 800's. be prepared to do some upgrades to it. A lightweight can, and y-pipe with the larger intake is a start. Also the cutler adj. weights can make it pull better all the way through.
