Hey Guys,

This is my first time posting a question on the boards. I am not new to snowmobiling but I guess I am not current with the newer models. I am thinking about getting a zr900. This will be a big step up from riding my 97xlt. I was wondering what are some things to be aware of with this model and are some years better then others? How are these sleds for stand up riders? Im a big gu pushing 280 but ride hard. Will this be faster then a f7. Planning on clutch, pipes, reeds and many studs. A few that i have seen are a 2005 with 1200 miles for $4300obo and a 2003 for 4300 with 2800 miles.

The ZRs weren't a stand up type sled so much but then again there are still comparisons being tossed out there to it's handleing and cornering! The power was very good on all the models. Although those prices seem a bit high? But depending on where you are they may be OK. But if you are looking for power I would look at like a 2001-02 Tcat? Any of the models can be modified to stand up easyier?

are u kidding me?????...yes they have great power but ther almost 200lbs heavier.....my friend rides a 01 t cat and is selling it cause he bought a 900 at 509lbs vs his 685 pound cat!.......still check that oil pump....my dealer has a box full of bad ones and cat wont do crap about it!
