I hope I don't regret this

[2008 Nytro RTX]

Instead of buying a Viper my Skidoo/Yamaha dealer talked me in to this! 2010 RS 600. has 1800 miles on it and is in really good shape! I hope going back to the 2 smokes won't give me a headache. I was all gunho to get the Viper but I hear from people who road it that its not going to be a slam dunk. I hear good and bad! I will give it a year and go from there! Honestly I will miss going on these boards for sled advice cuz unlike most other forums this is not a Zoo

Phew that is a awesome sled if you know what your getting. That is totally different then a viper. She'll be firm, aggressive, and less power mpg. Not all bad if that is what you want. I have wanted one for ahile myself to convert into a ditch banger!

Thank you.

They all have good and bad...it's just what do you want to put up with

Thank you.

You have to admit deep down, somewhere in the most remote part of your brain, you'll miss him.

 

[09nytro]

Thank you.

That he didn't buy the viper or that he will be on dootalk now and not here ...

probably the best all round ditch banging sled on the planet, use good fuel and maitenance practices you should see 10000 miles on the 600 e-tech, really only downfall i can think of is the rs-xrs is one stiff hard hitting suspension that two fat men would have a hard time bottoming

Thats actually the RS 600 race sled, NOT the XRS 600 etec.

Motor is really hot on that sled runs great down low and pulls like a fing freight train.
My brother has an 08 rs and light nimble machine

I may be trading it for a 2010 XRS 600 but if i do not i am going to have to redo the rear shocks so its softer

My friend asked me to swap his 2012 LT 2 up XP 800 for a little spin on my 08 Phazer RTX. Afterwards, he kept talking on how my sled rode so, horrible. I did not even say a word about the Nasty engine Vibration, Heavy steering, running board flexing, track Howling XP. The next pit stop another Ski-Doo rider pointed out the XP had the usual 2" offset (bent bulkhead) ski in front of the other.

luckily i have the RS which is braced like no other!

You do know the RS is not a trail sled...? In fact, if the supension is still delivery spec, it is going to be a very stiff and nervous ride down any normal trail. I would say this sled is about as far as you can get from the SR Viper...And like somebody already pointed out - that engine is a proper race engine, for sure more power than the SR Viper. You will notice quite some difference at the fuel stops too...

I don't care what anyone says, snocross sleds are the highest maintenance machines, period. My cousin has a IqR 600 and it requires a lot of tinkering and can't really be trail ridden.

If you trail ride the viper will have been a much better choice. If you are looking for a ditch pickle than you picked the right sled.
