What should I replace the Vector with?

[M5-]

If the Vector never shows up again which I don't think it will what would you buy for a wife sled/backup sled. I'm not interested in another turbo sled although there are lots of good ones for sale. I'm leaning towards a stock Nytro for her that I can ride on occasion when my shoulders are sore from the turbo sled. My buddy got his wife a Dragon but I'm just not sure I can buy a 2 stroke ever again. I like the weight of the XP but thats about it for one of those. If I could find a really low mileage 06 151 Rev I might look at that.

Ideas?

I'll lend you the XP if your in a bind. Let me know ! Don't worry the dealer is giving out free belts for the next while, LOL !l

Buy the Nytro ! It looks like a good turbo platform.

06 Rev

The wifey bought a 06 144 800 X. She loves it, good trail maners, she gets right at 10 mpg, now keep in mind with her rideing it on trails. I get to steel it once in a while ...if it were mine I would install the 151 for sure. But the 144 does ok if your very agresive with the sled. Estart and RER, its a good wife sled and my back up sled, just dont tell her that Dino

My wife loves my Nytro. She weights 115 and has no more troubles with it in the powder than her Phazer. If she is a bit of an aggersive driver, better go with a Nytro.

I am with you on the 2 stroke thing, that said there are a few girls around here with the 700 dragons, they are a great riding sled and with e start and reverse very girl friendly--- a shame it is a 2 stroke.

as good as you are at building stuff m5 you could build a extremely nice vec or turbo vec for a really good price these days or a cool little light turbo phazer both are real cheap to buy now.sorry to here about the vec man hope you catch them guys.

I was well on my way to having the Vector done but there you go. I've got a bunch of stuff built here that I didn't get on the sled yet so I could maybe find another one and start over. I'm hoping my sled shows up and I can carry on but I'm not too optimistic. I thought about a turbo Phazer but I'm not sure I want 2 turbo sleds, something turnkey and simple might be the answer. My wife likes the quieter sleds although she wasn't complaining about the single pipe I had on the Vector. It really blows that a guy can't even own something without some lazy a$$ mofo stealing it. Just as guilty are the guys who knowingly buy these sleds and the parts.

iamvector good luck on the rebuild.

Yeah, go to the US and buy a Nytro. Too much money to be saved. Unless of course you're made of money.

Floats in the front, Float conversion in the rear and a better track.
