what sled to get my wife??

[907RYDR]

Late 80's early 90's Phazer, on of the best sleds ever built hands down!! Besides my first sled which was 1979 Yamaha 440 exciter, best sled ever..

But to stay with the times go with the IQ easy to ride and a great sled.. but artic cat had a really good F-6 in the mid 2000's.. Its really up to what ever feels the best to her...

Well I think she needs to ride as many sleds as she can..let her pick..with that said..I bought my 16 yr old an 08 600ho rmk 155 last year for x-mass...have let at least 20 people ride it..I have yet to hear 1 person say anything bad about it..the sled is a riot to ride...it has great trail manners...great powder ability and for those who might have to use it for a backup , you wont have a problem riding with your buddies all day(at the end of the day you will still be wanting to play when they are ready to go home)..the only problem this sled has had in 900 miles is 2 handwarmers have died and 1 tail light bulb..thats it..still has the original belt /hifax.. as for deep snow ability..its no dragon-800/xp/m-8 but its not far from it.....as for 2 stroke smell...polaris gold actually has a very pleasent smell to it...for those that worry about 2-smoke...

My vote is for the 600 etec XP 146". Superlight, reverse, electric start, no smoke or smell, and Quiet. Will go virtually anywhere she can take it,,, besides highmarking the 800R perhaps. My wife loves hers.

Another vote for the Polaris.

I purchased my wife an '09 Polaris 600 RMK 144. It's her first snowmobile and she loves it! It was important IMO that she gets a 600 with EFI. Weighing around 100 lbs., I new it would be very difficult for her to start anything larger than a 600.

I like the Ski-Doo 600 Etek, but they want too much for them. We got the Polaris 600 for $7,100 otd.
