Rode my buds M-7 today! No likey!

Troops...went busting powder today with buds M-7. wow...did 5th graders build this thing? Stuff did not fit...the vibration was beyond stupid. My bud asked me to take it for a rip cus he thought track was ratcheting...nope...just mega vibration. Power is good & so is flotation but gas mileage was worse then my 98 MSRX with 8k miles! The front end is a little twitchy & if you hit something it will try to eject you!

I rode one a few weeks ago - definetly a light sled. It makes good power, but too narrow of a powerband. The wide powerband of the RX is something I am very used to. The one I rode had the 162 track, which I think was too long for the altitude and conditions we were riding in (the 153 would have been better I thought)

I'd take a King Cat over the M7 if I had to run an AC - we had one of those along on the trip too that had SLP twins on it, good running sled.

Turk, I agree 100%. I rode one about a month ago in Cooke. Rental for the day, and my review would have read the same. Not for me, thanks.

I rode one last spring during a demo-ride. They are not for me also, has decent power but not as much as my piped Viper. The thing I disliked the most about it, was it just didn't " feel" right ergo wise to me. I suppose it could be something a guy could get used to, but I perfered the King Cat better. I felt more confident attacking the hills on the King Cat.
