if it runs you might get a couple hundred but not much more....they are too slow compared to the newer ones they have out....maybe just hang onto it and sell it to a collecter in a few years

Never liked them old ones. But there was a market for restored old jap bikes maybe there is for old sleds.

ud be better off selling it as something for a little kid to ride around on could probably get 500 to the right person

they are fun little things I'm 140 pounds and I would drive one towing a buddy on a sled down his driveway

if you get in any kind of snow they dont go far

If that is pretty much the same one in the picture....it has value. That should be a Kawasaki powered Kitty Cat. The Kawi's ran faster than the later Suzuki powered ones. Also, it has an aluminum tunnel, which is lighter than the later steel versions. I would say $300-500 to the right guy. I do not know if they are still racing these, but I would assume so. You have to start somewhere! Cool find!!

oh the good old days! i used to have a kitty cat back in the day. to the right person they are worth quite a bit, finding that one is the key.

Not worth much. Phazers around here go for as little as $150, and usually just need a carb cleaning. Phazer is a much better machine and there's a zillion kicking around. Or find a late 80s, 90s polaris for under $500.

Or if that's too old, I picked up my SRX700 for $1200. I've seen them as cheap as $800 (good running condition).

Everyone wants the new rider forward design (Rev chassis or similar), so everything else is dirt cheap.

I've been buying sleds like mad from a local repo/asset company and you wouldn't believe how cheap this stuff is....I just throw the sleds in the sheds until winter and sell them for a large profit. accept for a ZRT 800 I got for 500 I use it for water skimming the pond

I just brought one of those back to life at my work, they are pretty cool but it feels like it would have absolutely no guts.
