Honestly I'd say the Skidoo is your best buy now. It runs excellent,great gas mileage,like 15+mpg versus 10mpg with the Fusion. The 900 wasn't a good motor when I owned it last year,it stunk! The Skidoo motor doesn't shake like the 900 does either,which means things stand a better chance at staying balanced. Like I said I owned a Fusion 900 and I ride with a couple guys on Skidoo SDI's and they just are a better machine. Polaris didn't do themselves any favors with the 900 "disaster". I know the '05 900's that were leftover are a sweet deal,but you'd be better off spending a little more on the Skidoo I think,but in the end you have to know what you want.

Search the forum for Fusion. There have been lots of threads dealing with all the PROBLEMS people have with the Fusion. My son works at a powersports dealer... nothing but complaints on the Fusion!!! He hears it every day. Stay away until they work all the bugs out.

welll i say the 600 mxz...

This is because i had a mxz 600 for 5 years and i been pretty bad on my sled and its still running great.

If you u want a good engine that will run with anything you can give it...picka a mxz 600 ho

trust me

im drunk right now.. so if i sound stupid... dont listen.. lol

As you could've probably guessed by my name I'd go with the mxz. But if you were to go with the fusion I've heard much better things about the Fusion 600HO. Aesthetically though I think the fusion looks way too bulbous in the front end.

the mxz has the rev chasis I think
if it does go with it ive now ridden my first rev chasised sled and I love it
will never buy anything else

I would say the MXZ, prolly cause we own one and like it alot.

Gadex1000 · 02-12-2006, 07:44 PM
