The doo is only $150 more than a rmk and you get a lot more technilogical engine and when you compare an assult to a ski doo X the same applies outside of a great looking sled you would think the engine could be more improved, when doo went from carbed HO to etec on there 800s its a $800 increase in the price look whats happening to the price of ther 800 HO sleds now, imagine the price of the poo if they had a 2012 compliant engine now it woud be $12400 I think waiting might be a good idea, consider this if you buy know and if in 2012 they come out with a cleaner more compliant engine the value of a 2011 could go in the tank if there engine issues do not go away, this is just my obeservation I wish all who buy a new poo the best of luck but I think I will opt for a XP
wow where did you come up with all that???
Skidoo FINALLY came up with something other than carbs, but I wouldn't call it "more technilogical" Polaris, Cat, and yamaha have had some type of fuel injection for several years now. Also where did you get 150 more for a skidoo. The freeride which I would compare to the pro is 13349 vs 11599. Thats 1750 not 150 and that sled weighs 489 which is 58 pounds heavier. By the way the new 2011 800 IS 2012 compliant according to the polais engineers that I rode with a couple of weeks ago. Even if your comparing the summit x at 12049 for the 154 that is 450 more than the pro and 1050 more than the rmk which is probably the closer model to compare and it is still 453 lbs (22 lbs heavier than the pro and 13 pounds heavier than the rmk)
Not trying to bash on Ski-doo, just want to keep the facts straight. Again, the 2011 pro RMK is 2012 compliant. FYI
Also, Polaris is offering 1000 trade cash to switch to a 2012 next year for those of us that are willing to snowcheck a "first year sled" What do you get for trying out the totally new unproven e-tec?? Just curious???
