Looking to replace my Viper with either a Nytro or Vector. Looking at 06 or 07 machines.
Still a newb when it comes to 4strokes but what are the differences between the two?

vector is more a trail machine than the nitro. those years of nitro where supposed to be geard down and had the big bump suspension compared to the nitro. motors are the same but the nitro will be clutched more agressively. nitro is also more rider forward than the vectors.
just make shure the timing chain tensioner up grade/date was done on whitchever one you purchase.
other than a few small issues, pretty much gas and ride. good luck with your search.

I love the 06 nytro I had. That thing could take some big bumps. Not the fastest sled on a lake but a lot of fun on the trails.

Not much different between the two, gearing, stiffer suspension...and also uses the stiffer mountain seat.

If your thinking about a Vector I would look for an 08 and up one, the previous years to 08 were in the old chassis but in 08 they went to the Delta 2.
