Snowmobiles

[TRX_450]

so im sitting here watching a buyers guide for snomobiles and am not seeing anything honda. why is it that honda hasnt came into the snowmobile market yet? anybody have any ideas?

[krt400ex]

umm, suzuki doesn't have one, or KTM, or Kawi...i think it is prolly cuz it will not be worth the cost initially...there r planty of other brans out there....if u r going to get a sled i would recomend the ski-do...the arctic cat is a good sled to, but i don't really like suzuki, and suzuki makes the cat's motors

;) suzuki made older arcitc cat engines if i remember correctly

The market for sleds has gone down hill with the recent winters. Even the big four are having a hard time.

yea i woundnt buy a honda sled if they made then. stick with ski-doo. man i really need to start riding sleds again

[300ex mxracer]

go polaris!!!!

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I believe Bombardier makes sleds too.

Polaris all the way.

I had a kawasaki, it was in the 70s tho, mabe early 80s one, it was the best there was back in the day.

I dont think it would be right for honda to make a sled, it would be garbage IMO, they should stick to quads dirtbikes and other things.

Yes, they are the parent company of Ski-doo ;)

I think they changed their name to Can am.....or was that just for the Bombardier ATV division? :confused:

[Mean250r]

Ski doos are the only way to go

sea doos for the water r the only way to go to haha

i was so close to buying myself a sled for this winter, literally had the bill of sale in hand ready to sign and changed my mind. for the amount of time i would be able to use it, it just wouldnt be worth it. i still want one bad, and it is going to kill me seeing all of the sled packs riding past me while on the quad.

me too, but i don't have the money for one:( , otherwise i would buy it anyway

[ny300exrider]

yeah, id have a firecat sitting in my garage waiting for flakes to fly if car insurance for a 17 year old wasnt so redicoulous.


ruby-i have a 450r.

[400exrider99]

i dont think sleds are worth the money especially were i live you can only use them for 3-4 months out of the year. quads you can use all year there worth the money

[cool 300ex]

Arcitc cat and Ski-doo are the only way to go. Even tho you can only ride them 3 months out of the year they are just so much fun!

it depends on where you live, in northern UP i would take a sled over any quad or bike...i live near detroit so i usually just drive up north for a couple of days to go riding...i have a 2004 F7 and i love it! Artic cat and ski doo's are the nicest sled out IMO, but the ski doos were 1200-1500 more so i got a firecat...

[Ruby Soho]

cant you use sleds on sand?

[ny300exrider]

when i go riding on my quad, im lucky to get more than an hour or two worth of riding before either getting chased by someone, or getting bored. there are no legal places to ride on long island, and cops are against us big time.. with a sled, i could drive a few hours up north and ride a legal trail system with hundreds and hundreds of miles of groomed trails, open lakes, and great scenary. i can't imagine how awsome it would be to ride groomed trails for 200 miles without hitting the same spot once. i still couldnt sell my quad for one though, i would definitly need both.

Kawasaki made Arctic Cats engines before Suzuki did, but switched to Suzuki and are still using Suzuki because they make a better engine.

I would only ever own an Arctic Cat or a Ski-Doo for a sled. We've got a few vintage Arctic Cats that are still running strong, although the ride isn't the most comfortable ride out there...
