I know he didn't get 30K, but I bet 10K over what he paid...US $$$ btw
The Mach may not end up being the best competition, but I give Doo some credit for at least trying to push the envelope. Mike I think your tune would be different if Doo would've used the 1200 motor for their turbo sled...I know I would've been alot more interested.
Or my 98 Mach Z TURD with the highly touted center dump pipes. Dam 600s were killing me. Until we put Jaws pipes on...that woke er up.This is 2005 Mach Z all over again! What a #*$&@ up skidoo did hear!!! They should be ashamed!

All this Mach talk reminds of when I bought my 2017 Winder. I thought it performed great and guys over on DooTalk were telling me how the 850’s were leaving them in the snow dust. There was all the talk even here about how doggie they were and all the turbo lag and how poorly they were clutched. Many ended up tuning them up because they felt the stock Winder was a slug.
I was very happy with my stock Winder and I’m sure my stock 900R will be just fine for me.
Right now it’s getting close to the second week of January and our trails are not open yet so it really doesn’t matter how my sled runs because these Winters suck worse and worse every year.
Oh well Spring will be here before you know it and I can get the golf clubs and C8 out for some real enjoyment.

Ski doo sure threw you guys the bone with the mini z this year. The cool aid must be good for them to doo that year after year and you guys expect different results.All this Mach talk reminds of when I bought my 2017 Winder.

WOW you got quite the list there! You must be BOP's biggest customer!Ski doo sure threw you guys the bone with the mini z this year. The cool aid must be good for them to doo that year after year and you guys expect different results.
All I want from Doo is a sled I can ride and enjoy without having to work on or modify constantly for it to be reliable. They deliver every time.
I will be spending most of this Saturday working on my old Winder getting it ready for what little Winter there will be this year. I have to find out why it's losing coolant.

I don’t care about my RPM’s just like I didn’t care about all the stuff guys were saying back in 2017 when they told me my Winder was a turd. The only difference was back then they were Doo guys now they are Yamaha guys.I like to mod my stuff. I have 4 parts on my sled from BOP. Whats wrong with buying from them?

The guys on Dootalk were lying or they were racing a sidewinder in a foot of powder!!!! That was surely proven over and over that the 998 is way faster than an 850, even in stock form... I even was NOT sure until I race a few 850's when I was stock. The 998 is easily 4 sled lengths ahead against an 850, unless the 998 is NOT working properly all in stock form. People to this day think a 998 is a slug or has lag and those are the 2 stroke guys that will never own a 4 stroke. The 850 was released the same time as a winder/tcat, so ya there was alot of chirping going on...All this Mach talk reminds of when I bought my 2017 Winder.

I know exactly what you’re saying. I spanked a 850 Doo shortly after getting my Winder and the Doo guys didn’t believe me or said there must have been something wrong with it.The guys on Dootalk were lying or they were racing a sidewinder in a foot of powder!!!!

I think when it comes to Doo guys especially on DooTalk they are big 4 stroke haters And 2 stroke lovers. I had it out with a couple of them and got banned over there. I guess they didn’t like it when I asked them how many 850 engines they blew up.

I think they're not liking that it's been going on six years that they aren't the center of the universe when it comes to having the highest performance machine.I know exactly what you’re saying.
