Well I took the 700 Dragon for a spin today and what a huge difference in feel and ride from my Crossfire and even the M7 I rode. First off, the snow sucked. It was the spring snow and didn't want to let the sled lay over. My thoughts are the front end is way way to loose. Scared the hell out of me actually. Even the slightest turn on the trail made it feel like the sled was going over. Now, the WE shocks probably need re-charged and he told me afterward that he took the sway bar out so that should explain a lot of the "scare the hell out of me" feeling.
As far as ride. I like the fact that my knees were not smacking the console. I really liked that.. The thing has power and very quick response. So much so I felt a little silly for the first couple of miles getting used to the response. You know the deal, high rev, low rev, high rev, low rev.. I didn't realize how "sluggish" my Crossfire was until I hopped on this thing.
The sled just begs to lay over.. I am sure that was in part due to the soft shocks and the swaybar being removed. The center of gravity is much higher on this sled than my Crossfire and even the M7 that I rode. So that it was probably another reason for the tipsy feeling I had..
Didn't spend a lot of time on it but I can tell you this.. it is a major change from what I am used to.. Most of that comes from my trail riding mentality that the ski's and skid are planted firmly on the ground and letter rip.
I appreciate all the feedback you guys put out there for me!
LOL Maybe I should have Loo call her...ya ya , maybe that will work
