Ski Doo does make a great sled but their reliability off the 800 R motor doesn't have a great track record. I wouldn't own a carbed sled and the 800 E-Tec has caught my eye but I'm waiting another year to see how it holds up before I decide to buy one. My comment above was just a comparison to Polaris' atv and sleds, nothing more. That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink. Steelhead

Did you say 'black'? I swear I hear the pot calling the kettle! As has been mentioned before, bush Alaska - where I live- tends to be Honda territory. That said, the newer Hondas are not as reliable nor durable as the older models were (prior to the engine left-face). But Polaris ATVs have always had issues, and they still do. They seem to be better than earlier versions were, but they still don't match Honda quality, such as it is now. But Polaris probably does have the best ATV ride; you can give them that. Six thousand miles per year on the two Suzukis we've been driving over the past four years, though, suggests pretty good hope for that label. And their ride isn't bad. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

We had to pull the meat - in sleds- up around the left and back side of this hill. The tundra in this view is high-centering tussocks which obviously complicates things, but my Partners old Honda; years old, but relatively low miles: less than 10,000- wouldn't stay Last edited by Klikitarik; 04/17/11.
