Well, after much pondering... I've decided to get a head start on next years custom sled for myself.
After much pondering... I purchased a 2013 RMK (standard model) at a smoking good price.
I pondered many factors....
First, that I would modify the sled to the point where the warranty did not influence my decision... and I wanted a sled that would be up to date with the 2015 models for general features.
The 2013 RMK 800-155 got the "Nod"... The 2013 800 DC-CFi-2 engine, with its thicker cylinder skirts and more evolved mapping than previous years has proven to be reliable over 2 years of "testing in the consumers hands"... Other niceties like PowderTrax running boards on the 2013 make good sense to me.
I also like the more robust aluminum overstructure and the decades proven chaincase.
Over the weeks to come, I'll let this build unfold through photos and descriptions as I build it up.
