End of season review

Who ever that is, they won’t say their name but obviously know me. I’ve never ridden one of those 900T, I don’t like them based on looks alone, I have driven 850 ski doo and 850 Polaris, the ski doo is nothing special even with aftermarket spindles and skis and front shocks like the one I drove, the stock Polaris axys was much much much better from factory. When he says barely beat at 660 it’s several lengths, and the 900T does come out of the hole at least 2 in front as they have impressive hole shot with 6 chisels per bar, just don’t have the power down the stretch. Would a tuned 900T take a stock sidewinder...I think it would be close but a clutched sidewinder with traction and that’s a win for the wider I feel. I know the handling on trail is not there, it’s lighter and nimbler big brother is nervous and twitchy and not comfortable to ride fast, it does have a great rear skid that transfers and rides really good but that’s about all it has. The one thing I hate about my sled is it pushes in loose snow because of the stupid tuner 3, either going with Yamaha’s new stryke ski or C&A pro, depending on pricing of the stryke ski. Once that issue is fixed the wider with premium shock package is an all round winner.
Then these guys like buddy come on a Yamaha site and go on about how impressive a loss is, if they wanna continue to think ski doo is best on the snow then they should stay on doo talk where they are a big deal, not out here where the short comings are noticed and talked about. Are there sleds at the local race that can wax me. You can bet your #*$&@ there is but those are not trail sleds. I ride to the race and can ride 300 miles immediately after on pump gas, no changes to be made other then to add some fuel I do race on less then 1/4 of a tank
the only way a 850 or boosted 900t can even be close is if your having a traction competition and going a short distance. My Sidewinder is a trail riding sled, not a drag racer, if any Poo or Doo want to run to see who can accelerate faster or can go faster, a 30mph roll on start should give you a good compairson. hard pack snow, side by side 30mph and pin the throttle for at least 3/4 mile, something a trail sled should be able to do then we will see the results.
