Pros and Cons of venture lite for wife sled

[yamadoo]

I am thinking Venture lite for my wife, She likes the Apex Gt rider forward position, a little scared of the power, wants lighter steering, smooth ride and warm.
So WHat? A venture light or a used Rage or vector? - but that is traditional ride again.



Your thoughts?

did you consider the phazer gt? it costs less and has some wind protection.

the venture lite weighs more than the apex.

How about a Nytro? Gonna be some kickin' deals on used ones. Biggest con on the Venture Lite is that its the fugliest sled I've ever seen. Worse then a Fusion, and that's saying something!

The Black and Grey one isn't that ugly, but the blue one is horrible

Get her the Phazer GT, she will love it and you!

of the new models the phazer 2 up is the worst..... if you want a 2up go with the venture or better yet venture gt.....

if your not worried about 2 up, phazer gt or nytro if you want the new ergos... if she likes standard machines go with the vector.

I did not know that the Apex was less than 520 pounds...That is what was listed on the Canadian site for the weight of the Venture multi-purpose.

She better ride these sleds before you buy her one.

thanks Guys,

I am thinking a used Rage or vector may be a better way to go.
(Agree, ugly, and ? how 80 hp handle the weight)


She can learn to use the choke, I hope, I have to do it now anyway so why do I care .

Thanks

Man this Venture Lite is getting a bad rap. I rode it in Munising and I know my wife would ride it. I thought it had the most comfortable seat of any snowmobile I ever rode. It's not my cup of tea but I thought it was a good ride.

Yup that is the one to get her! All the attention she will get with that sled will make her love the sled even more. She will also remember the smart man who bought it for her.
