What can you guys tell me about the F6s? Do they have good power, do they handle well etc? How do they compare to a Polaris 600 XC?

I read a shootout report in Snow Week about a month ago and the F6 was very close to being just as fast as the F7. It was within a mile an hour or two in the 1/4 mile. It seems like Cat 600's are always almost as fast as the 700's. But I still like the 700's

I saw the same report from old forge. The f6 was clearly the fastest sled in its class. Awsome chassis too. go with efi

and F6 will beat a XC600 anywhere. lake, trails, ditch's you name it.

They have exceptional power, and the F5 I rode handled like it was on rails

nice sleds, the SnoPro edition is especially sweet. probably the strongest 600 on the market (engine anyway). The only thing I can say in a negative fashion is a buddy of mine bought one this year and he has had a couple issues with it overheating.

my dad wants one and i ve seen em out on the trail and my uncle rode a f7 yesturday he said he was doin 80 at half trottle

I can vouch for it doing 80 at only half throttle. Just picked up an '05 sabercat 600 EFI and was braking it in on a lake and was at half throttle and was going 80 this past weekend. Can't wait till I get that thing past a 100!!!

How well does the 144" version handle?

If you want a long track I would go with the M chasis.

Tell your friend to start riding on snow. I ride with a number of '05's and neither have ever flashed the light...

he's riding on snow, definetely. he took it to his dealer and they said it was a bad temp sensor.

Thought the whole idea sounded weird...
