Never seen one, or ridden one, just read about them from time to time. The cost is insane, and they have proven tobe less than reliable. (the straightline ones)

200hp is possible with a 880, twin pipes, ecu tuning, big bore carbs and 100 octane. Cost per hp the 950 seems like bad value for the money.

You don't hear about them because they don't work. Seen it. Maybe down low, they work. But at elevation, there are better ways to throw away money. Won't best a stocker in the hills.

Not thinking of writing off the 872 are you?

5000 you can get one from mad motorsports or brett linderman in Alberta.

crankshop cylinders, they are then ported and setup by linderman (2 stroke god) with custom twin pipes.

Theres a few guys on snowandmud with these motors and they say its just insane balls to the walls power. Cant find the link at the moment. I guess the 950 is alive and running well.

i think a mod 880 is much better value, you can get close to the hp of the 950, but at a higher rpm and it wont have as much torque, but that's a relative term considering the 880 is a stump puller.

ballpark
860 1500$
872 2000$
880 2000-3000$
950 5-6000$
