That's what mine is, A decent ride and very powerful at 140hp.

The EFI is nice too, as you don't have to fuss with carbs and is very reliable to start (2 pulls cold/1 warm) and gives me no trouble at all. It can be a bit of a pig on fuel, but if you are not going 100mph, say 50mph, it's not bad.

First of all, the 1993 700 definatly doesnt have 140 hp. The rating on that engine is like 105 or 110. The only reason the current engine has so much power is cuz it has APV and it is a lay down engine.

And with all of that stuff all redune, the guy is ripping himself off. All that stuff is way more than 1000 canadian! Plus it doesnt have very many miles on the engine which is good. But never look at the miles on the sled. That means nothing cuz those can be chanded. Always look at the condition of the running boards for paint chips. if its chipped it cuz he went through sand and got some on his boots and scratched the paint.

Then look in the engine compartment for rust and stuff. Also check the skis for scratches and stuff.

Hope this helps!

OK, thnx

what MPG would this sled get?
Topspeed prolly around 100mph? whats the suspension like?

**RJ Gleason** · 08-11-2006, 08:58 AM

Ride all day on a tank full at trail speeds (30/50mph) My top speed (gps measured) is 110mph.

The suspension is OK, It can be setup fairly well for any type of riding style, from stiff to very soft.

I gave min in the middle because of my weight and the fact that I mostly trail ride.
