Making the switch

[2002 viper]

Yes guys im making the switch sorry to say,Im making the switch to 2 stroke to 4 stoke and I CANT WAIT!!!!! Am I going to miss my Viper at all after the Apex rtx??

besides the 4 strokes feeling tippier, there is no downfall. either way its far superior!

Will you miss your Viper? No.

Sounds good to me, I cant wait to for winter!!!

 

[Bakemono]

Amen to that, bring on the snow. Once you ride your Apex the Viper will be nothing more than a pleasent memory and you will know you made the right choice.

naa you wont miss the viper after a few rides on the apex. i went to a rx from a srx and it took a bit to get used to the feel (engine braking and toppyness in turns), but i'd never go back after a few rides and getting the feel of'er

What kind of price should I be looking at for an left over 2006 Apex RTX?

Compare it to a 2007, keeping in mind a 2006 has depreciated a good/at least $1500 from a discounted price on the 07.

the 150 EFI motor is simply amazing, you will love it for that alone!

So how much do you think I am looking at for price?

 

[Bakemono]

If you can get one for $8,500-$9,000, Id say thats pretty good.

You'll completely forget about the viper after ridin the RTX about 100 ft (i did), I sold off my 2 vipers last year, and never looked back, Vipers were a good sled in their day but there is just no comparing the 2, You should be able to find a used / leftover one for maybe around $8000-$8500, but anything over that and u should just consider an 07. Good Luck

Stricly a guess ummm $9400 + tax for an 07, try Port Yamaha in the vendor section.

An 06?
By all rights $1500 below the 07 because even new they have depreciated that much being a year old. But if you are going to keep it a few years and you like the way the 06 looks then $8500 is not so bad.

i paid $8,600 for my attak new in february of 06 if that helps. personally though, i would get the 07, much better rear suspension for the rtx's intended purpose.

I missed mine so I kept it and still ride it every other trip!!

I had a Viper. Everything about the Apex is better.

I do miss the sound of a Yamaha triple 2 smoke. I don't know what it is but that engine always sounded really good when it was started.
