I snowmobiled for 6 years, took 4 years off, then got back into snowmobiling last year and bought a 2009 rmk 800. I hate it! It's just too heavy for me and I always felt like I couldn't control it. So now I am in the market for another sled. I want to stick with a Polaris. We mostly ride in the McCall Idaho and Joseph Oregon area. We don't trail ride much, mostly boon docking. I probably won't buy anything newer than a 2010 and nothing older than a 2008. Thanks for your input.
