Hey Are There Any Snowmobilers Here At GFY? - GoFuckYourself.com

GTS Mark · 12-15-2005, 05:05 PM

I am trying to decide between 2 sleds and I am having one hell of a hard time deciding.

I'm trying to decide between the Polaris 600 H.O Fusion

and the Polaris 900 H.O. Fusion

I haven't really looked at many other sleds because I am a big fan of Polaris sleds. The price is not the much between the 2 (maybe a couple of grand)... I like a sled to thrash around on jumps and something light that is making me kind of lean towards the 600, plus the 600 has been getting some incredible reviews... However the 900 is balls to the wall power but it seems to have had some mechanical service issues and the one I road earlier this year (rental) broke down on me in the middle of a frozen lake LOL!

Anyways expert GFY snowmobilers please give me some advice here, I would sincerely appreciate it

je_rome · 12-15-2005, 05:23 PM

I don't own one but I have tried riding my friend's snowmobile. It was scary and fun at the same time.

sonofsam · 12-15-2005, 05:27 PM

i don't even need to be a snowmobiler, but judging by what you just said.. i think the choice is obvious.. go with the 600...

but then again, you asked for expert opinions... so i'll stfu

fuzebox · 12-15-2005, 05:30 PM

I can vouch for the 600's maneuvering capabilities on various terrain.

Doctor Dre · 12-15-2005, 06:10 PM

Well you don't look like an heavy guy so the 600 will do ... depends what kind of rides you like. I'd personally go for the bigger model

My family got a new polaris from last year and a old yellow Ski Doo one ;0

Furious_Male · 12-15-2005, 07:14 PM

Ive driven both as well. The 600 is great for ditch banging and can handle like a champ. The 900 is great for raw power and can still handle great.

Where are you going to ride the most. Open lakes (900) or tight trails (600)?

I am more of a ditch banger myself so my 1000 (T-Cat) sits a lot while I ride my F7. I prefer the lighter sleds.

The best way to solve your problem is to get both

Yeah more tight trails around here, my wife won't let me go on open lakes LOL! She said you can get whatever you want but NO LAKES!! hehe!

I think I am just going to order the 600 tomorrow and get it over with. Everything is making me lean towards it plus it has a 3 year extended warranty.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 12-16-2005, 01:58 AM

900 for sure. You won't out grow it so quickly. I have been racing motocross forever, never got to try a snowmobile. Looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait for it to Snow in California.

reed_4 · 12-16-2005, 02:52 AM

im not a snowmobiler but i like that amazing pic man. thanks

adultchica · 12-16-2005, 02:54 AM

Yep not enough snow here in Texas to constitute investing in a snowmobile
but I've been on one before when I spent christmas in minnesota a few years back
with some family. Talk about a good time!

There are some snowballers here at GFY.

ravo · 12-16-2005, 06:49 AM

Go for the 600. Considering the trails around your area (tight, narrow trails, with no lake running), you'd never be able to use the power the 900 has. Plus, the 600 will handle much better.

Now, if you were in Northern Ontario, I'd go for the 900; lots of open sweeping trails with lots of lakes; *then* the 900 would be a blast.

I prefer small light sleds; it's great to out-ride bigger sleds on the trails. I had an MXZ 440 that was untouchable. Now riding a Ski-doo Legend 600; more power, but doesn't quite handle like the 440.

thepirate · 12-16-2005, 07:00 AM

Phoenix · 12-16-2005, 07:38 AM

get the 600 or you will be dead after this winter

you dont need a top of the line snowmobile...the 600 is probably easier to drive

kaktuz · 12-16-2005, 07:44 AM

how much one of those babies worth +-? $$?

atom · 12-16-2005, 07:59 AM

Unless you are gonna be going balls to the walls across fields etc I would take the 600 over the 900 anyday. I prefer a modded 440 over anything else for really twisty trail riding. Buddies will blow me away on the straight aways but nobody can keep up on the trails.

BTW - get an artic cat :-)

Rebel D · 12-16-2005, 08:06 AM

I am A fan of Arctic cats myself. Make sure if you go with the 900 there are companies that will insure it. No use having a beefy sled that can;t be insured

Manowar · 12-16-2005, 08:10 AM

i'd say 600

I have been riding sleds for years, I'm pretty comfortable with my sledding abilities. A 900 sounds big but there are much beefier sleds than that out there ;)

Yeah I agree with you Ravo, all the trails here are thru farmers fields with twistys. There are very few times you would ever be able to completely let out the 900. Plus I love finding areas with drifts that you can jump, so a 600 would be much more suited to that style of riding.

Dave I subscribe to your line of thinking as well, I always say get the one you want because if you don't you will regret it later. However you should see these things, the 600's are high output and crank out alot of power with a small displacement. They are just like those speedy 600 sportbikes, sure the 1000's can kickass in a straightline but a 600 is a blast in the twistys and is much lighter.

HorseShit · 12-16-2005, 09:25 AM

I've owned 3 or 4 snowmobiles growing up. All different power ranges. I would get bored after not long though depending on the power. The 900 fusions fucking fly, I know someone with one. I would get it

Actually, no. But, I've heard its good.

I'm a little east of Bracebridge, so I've been doing a lot of sledding around here, and a bit north and east (Dorset, Dwight etc).

Lived in Sudbury a few years ago, and the trail system is truly great. Lots of wide open trails, fast and fun.

Krille · 12-16-2005, 10:45 AM

go with the 600! polaris all the way!

AcidMax · 12-16-2005, 11:08 AM

Depends on what you do. I have 2, 2000 Polaris Indy 500 sleds. Mine are great, I am not out for doing 110 on a trail. If you are looking just for fun, get the 600, they are still plenty fast enough. I know I have had mine up to 65 or so, never cared to try beyond that.

My brother in law has a MX 750 or something, and that thing is pretty fast too. Polaris makes the best sleds imho. I will never use another brand. We just got about 8" of snow this week, so this evening the wife and I are throwing on our Choko riding gear and heading out on the trails (the state trail is 300 feet from my house at the end of my driveway

) I can jump on it and ride all over Michigan even to the U.P.
