Im just curious. I think the XCRs have been really good along with the 500s. But I want to see the popular belief on this.

I would have to say that the 97-98 700 RMK's. My reasoning would be that they were the best pull and go sled of the 90s, and they could also run forever. Ive heard multiple cases of these sleds rolling the odometer over (Over 10,000 miles) with out anything done to them but routine maintenance. However if you are wanting a sled that made a name and was an icon for Polaris it would be the XLT/XCR with the Extra Lite Triple 580/600 in them. That was the stock sled to beat before the 700s came out anyways. With the exception of the bigger triples, the 600 also weighed less because of it's monoblock design instead of the RXL's, Ultra's, and Storms.
I didn't realize the mono's were lighter. Any idea on how much weight difference their was?
I couldn't really say how much, I'm not really an expert haha. However if you think about it, a case, 3 jugs, and 3 heads were on the bigger triples(I would also make a guess that the crank was bigger? don't quote me on this..), the mono block design had 1 case 1 block 1 head... polarisman.com/ has some supposed weights under the specifications on the left, but I don't know if they're true or not..
Were amazing??? Still are amazing 13000 miles and still going strong. Motor has never been opened up. Bought the sled new. In the early 2000s was my back up sled but now is back in the front of the line .I think the 97 700 hands down. The XLT's and XCR's were icons for sure but the 7's were amazing.
Beautiful Sled That's Awesome!!Love my 95 XLT (son's now) it never once has given me a lick of trouble.
