Now I know why.

People ride snowmobiles, those things are fun as hell, we have two artic cats, the ones a 570 twin cylinder, or something. Man does that thing scoot! :eek:

[400exrider707]

A 570 fan from arctic cat is rated at around 70hp and is considered very beginner material... try riding an 800 twin or something similar... it'll leave a nice grin on your face.

def. fun sleds. Fastest i've gona is 97 on my friends 600 tripple, but i still say street bikes give you the biggest rush ever, goin 176 down a straight away, can't beat it

[cbrooks118]

I ride a cruiser (streetbike) and dont go over the speed limit very much for safety reasons, but in my younger days (a couple years ago) I rode a friends Hyabusa. I was in 4th at 135 and i let off out of fear.

I would love to ride snowmobiles, but theyare hard to come across in TX:)

Yeah sleds are sweet. I love riding at night when it's snowing out. I love winter except for the cold sometimes.

That would have to be a Yamaha V-Max 4 would it not? The later ones were 800s.....Never had one but heard they rode like a Cadillac and were really heavy.

I usually ride my dad's 2001 ZR600 EFI or my brother and mines hybrid Pol-Cat (Polaris Chassis and an old Arctic Cat 530 engine). The Pol-Cat is a sweet drift buster and likes to be driven hard. The ZR600 is sweet too!

I know what you are saying. It was my first time riding a street bike, a 02 gsxr 750, the day my friend got it about a year ago. I'm like dude, can i take it out, he's like sure, went down the street doin a 100, and was like i wanna go faster, so i turned on a long straight, did 160 lol, and was like f it, i already went 160, let's top it out, so i went to a 2 mile straight, and did 176, he said he's done 178, but i was pinned in 6th for like a mile. I feel stupid for doing it my first time, but i'm an adrenaline junky. Then i road a 600 and did 160, and then road a 954rr, and did 154, but it didn't have a stabilizer, so when the bars shake, i got the $hit scared outta me, so i let off. I can't wait to get one, but i'm scared, not that i'm gonna crash, but that some damn car will hit me.

Back to topic haha. My friend phil was riding his 600 tripple, and i was like dud, go over that hill as fast as you can, he did, and the thing almost came all the way back on him, i was like ohhhh crap lol

Maybe a little but I will say a 954 will put 182 on the speedo. I had one in 2002 and seen it do it several times.

ok, you don't have to believe me, i have plenty of people that saw it, and when i came back on the 750, no one knew where i went, so russ went out looking for me on his gsxr 1000, and on the way back he saw me, so he turned around and we raced up to 160, and slowed down cause we had to make a turn.

You think i'm bull$hitting. You don't get tunnel vision at 176. Next time i ride one, i'll get it on video tape for you.

We've already went over this on yfzcentral. No one thought i did 176 my first time, it's not hard. You go in a straight line. At speeds of 150+, the momentem's so much, that you'd have to throw your body to the side to get it to turn.

I dont know if you did or didnt and dont care but at 176 you better not be "throwing" anything around. Slight upper body movement will do the trick.

Yamaha SRV 540 bored out

The Thundercat is a fun sled as well.

LOL, does he save it in the first pic? I kinda wish I lived in Canada sometimes just for the snow.

[infantry317]

We ride a couple 02 AC 4-Stroke Touring (2-up) they're slow at 55mph tops (they put turbos on em now). I call them the "slowmobiles" but they have never had an issue & require min. maint.. The 4-Strokes don't seem to burn up like the carbed & 3-cylinder models do. But a guy has to run what he or she can afford.

I'd love to get a more sporty model but we just don't get that much snow anymore. :(

This isn't ours but they look like this one.

haha no if you look in the second pic you can see his sled a while away he bailed in mid air and it kept going lol. I love living in canada nice and warm in the summer for dirt biking and the winter is cold and lots of snow for sledding. its awesome
