Okay fellas, here's the scoop. I currently ride an 03 Poo Vertical Escape RMK, 800 with a 159" track. I really like the sled, it works well for where I ride and my (lack of) skill level. What I like most about the sled is the fact that its paid for
That said, I have a chance to get into a brand new 09 Nytro MTX for a really low out-of-pocket cost. I have never ridden or ridden with a Nytro, and just looking at the specs of the machine I'm worried that it will be disappointing for me (a little less power and a little less track than my current sled, with more weight). The sled would have to stay stock for a while, no turbo option unless I win the lottery or get an inheritance from a distant rich relative or something along those lines. The up-side is if I'm not happy with it, I should be able to sell it again and not lose money on the deal.
So, realistically, how is a stock Nytro going to compare to my sled now? One of my buddies, who has a friend with a turbo Nytro, says based on what he's seen I should expect performance close to a 700 2 stroke with a 136" track, and if that's the case then it's a definite no-go. Fire away, let me know what you think.
