what sled?

[Slow poke]

Question for the experts...

I have a choce of a new 09 m6 153, 09 m8 162 or a 09 m8 snow pro 153 with 500 miles. They are all within a couple hundred bucks. There is also a 08 m1000 snow pro 162 with 1300 miles for $1600 less but i dont think i can handel that sled....

I am new to the sport and my current sled is a 98 rmk 600.. mainly rinding on non groomed roads up to some hills and medows with powder around tollgate, or. in the blue mnts.

Is the one that much better then the other or should i just get the cheapest one and learn to ride the bigger M1000. I weight 170 if that makes a difference...

thanks

i would buy the 09 M8 162, but i live to ride the steep and deep. if your more of a ditch banger the shorter track may be the way to go.

Get the SnoPro! Nothing wrong with the M6 though, has more power than your current 600, floats better and rides better.

M8 162 would be my choice out of that bunch.

I weigh 210 and my choice would M8 162. If I weighed 170 and didn't ride deep so much I would be tempted to go 153.

Get the M8. The power isn't going to hurt ya. Plus you won't have to unload a sled at half what you paid for it for when you feel that you have grown into an 800. It won't take that long to learn how to handle any 800 on the market.

Hey guys,
There is only 2 to chose from in my mind, the M8 163 and the M8 sno pro. if you like to do more jumpin and tree ridin and messin around like that get the sno pro, but if you like more deep snow ridin and climing and want to get stuck just a little bit less than get the 163.

I ride at tollgate too and if it were me i would go the M8 153 sno pro. The 162 is nice to have but only like 2 weekends a year at tollgate. Either way u will love it. We should go riding some time, just let me know. Where are u looking? Sundown?

By the sounds of things, for you i would go with the m8 snopro 153
