Mmm... I can smell the snow coming... can't wait to get my toys out and running

K-biscuits to anyone who can tell me what model each sled is

(shouldnt be hard for a sled fan. Each sled is a pretty distinguishable model)

If someone guesses it Ill post the rest of the pics

you are a lucky man my friend! the left looks to be an early 90's mach 1 and the right looks like the colour of the summits but it doesn't look like a long track? :S

I really hope to have a sled this winter!

Came close enough on the left one... it's a 95 MAch 1

Not too hard to tell on those... theyre one of the few sleds Skidoo made with a pink trim color:lol:

2nd one... nope... not a summit...

Look close and you should see a part on it that gives it away

Im not sure I'd call myself lucky:lol: The sled on the right has a $150/month payment on it

Plus it needs a new battery this year... another $80 down the drain. But me and my wife have a blast when we're out riding them:thumbsup:

I'll give some hints:
-You're right, it's not a 2up.
-Not a Grand Touring
-Cant be newer than 05, as it has the trailing arm front suspension still... (Its an 03)
-Much larger motor than the 670 in the mach 1

I'd never even heard of this sled before I bought it. Pretty rare

yeah I saw the pics of your yami. Reminds me of my 1st sled... me and my dad had matching 79 Arctic Cats... I had a 440 Cheetah and he had a 340 Puma

Cant wait to go out snowboarding too

funny, actually took my sleds out of the storage warehouse and put them into the snowmobile trailer, and back into the storage warehouse again today at work..

I fixed both mine last year, only to not ride either once. Not enought snow these past years.. Also cant find anyone that can afford to go up north for a weekend

Im still trying to find a trailer to buy this year... I borrowed my buddy's all winter last year... I just got both of these up and running earlier this month.

Ill be bringing mine "up north" at least once a month... but my north is the Brainerd area...

There's plenty of snow. You just have to know where it is, and use it while it's there

Nope, it's a Legend

it has all the creature comforts... RER reverse, heated grips, gel seat, heated thumbwarmers, electric start, oil injection, liquid cooled...

And what should have given it away... THE MIRRORS:lol: I dont think any sled besides the Legend came stock with those...

Funniest thing though, is that the Legend is my wife's sled, and I drive the pink Mach 1:lol::jump:

Surprisingly, without all the added weight from the electric start/RER, and the fact it has a studded track, the 670 isnt too much slower in a straight line than the 800:shrug: Though the 800 pulls out of corners faster, and has a MUCH higher top speed (Before the ass-end started getting squirrely on the ice, I had the 800 up to 125 before I had to let off, and it had PLENTY of room left to accellerate)

I would say this is why I love canada but the area that I live in doesn't get alot of snow either

sometimes just enough to get out 2 or 3 times a year however my grandparents have a farm up near collingwood, ON in the "snow belt region" but now that we finally got another trailer I had to sell my sled in the spring

but my fingers are crossed that i'll have one this season!

Yeah to use the sleds you almost have to have a trailer. I didnt last year and thats why I only got to go out 4-5 times.

This year Im going to get a trailer and just tow it with my Probe

Ive got no problem on the 800 beating my buddies Polaris RMK 900, but thats a mountain sled... his 900 Fusion would dust me no problem

If I wanted to, I could bore out and do some nice work to that 670 too and make it compete with 900's

I didnt want the Legend, but it was hard to find a sled my wife would ride without having any problems. Got a good deal at the time I thought for it, as its an 03 and it only had 1200 miles on it in 07 when we bought it

Personally, Id be happy with a MXZ 440 liquid cooled
