10 rmk vs pro

[Khellnd]

I have been out twice with my 10 rmk, I am a beginner and live many hours from the mountains. My question is, has anyone noticed a huge improvement moving up to the pro for one or 2 trips a year or stay with my current rmk. I am not worried about the mechanical side of which to get, mainly handling and working for me.

Ummm

Yeah.

I had a 10 dragon with 500 miles and i rode a pro......
Game over.
Sold the dragon at a huge loss with no regrets.
Don't try unless you want to buy.

Way better machines. You won't want to go back to your RMK after riding a Pro.

Yup I occasionally swap with my wife s 09 700 RMK and I can't wait to swap back.Way easier to ride, night and day difference.

The Pro is a MUCH better sled. For one or two trips a year I would have a '10-11 M8 Cat. MUCH better sled than the '10 RMK and much less money than a '13-15 Pro, which are the only ones I would consider. The Cat is going to be much more forgiving for a beginner, and much more durable than either Polaris.

Lot better chassis handling lighter etc.

Worth the expense for a couple rides a year idk... depends on how much disposable income ya got

Thanks for all the input. I am kinda at the point if I sell mine and can upgrade with a good deal I will, if I don't that's fine to. Nothing wrong with mine, just looking for a better option of there is one.

i was in the same boat as you, 09 dragon, built the thing up myself, nicer shocks, higher horsepower motor... yaddah yaddah
thought well maybe next year
then found a killer deal on a hold over 2014 RMK
have not looked at the dragon again, it's sitting out in the weeds, will probably be cannibalized and sold off
pro ride chassis is WAY different! i don't feel beat up, and i don't need an extra fuel tank for a full day, adding ponies means added weight of more fuel, not something you think about when looking at cool go fast stuff
no polaris's are not the most fuel efficeint, but start adding twin pipes and big bores! the stocker sips the juice!

I disagree...the CFI4's were and will always be ticking time bombs. You'll never know when they will explode, but one thing's for certain, it WILL explode, most likely at an inopportune moment/circumstance. Upgrade to the Pro now, while your '10 RMK is still functional. Wait too long and the inevitable upgrade will be much more costly. My $0.02 from experience with a '10 CFI4....
