Need Help!!! New Sled Purchase!!! - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

mxzboy · 09-05-2006, 03:16 PM

Hey everyone, I"m new to the forum, I'm having a hard time trying to decide between 2 sleds for this upcoming winter:

Sled A) 2004 Ski Doo GSX 600 SDI
-Electric Start
-Removable 1 + 1 Jack seat
-Studded
-2500 Miles
-around $6k
-Ridden by a husband/wife couple

Sled B) 2005 MXZ Adrenaline 600 SDI
-96 Studs
-comes with 2 windshields, 1 high, 1 low fixed with handguards.
-3000 Miles
-Had the chain come off it last year, replaced all the gearing and chain.
-$5500
-ridden by someone in their mid 30s

Just curious which one of these I will be happier with..and should I worry about the mileage or anything that has happened to either of them?

Is there anything else I should look for?

Thanks

Im not a skidoo guy but if your looking for the faster one go for the 2005 MXZ Adrenaline 600 SDI. Plus i think the suspension is far better on that model.

You would be happy with either one!

Like I said in my PM, chose the one that better fits your riding style. Both very good sleds, and both are great on gas with the SDI!

I see you live in ottawa! From what I've heard you guys have an awsome season. Tons of snow. Does it live up to the hype? I would love to take a trip out there!

we get a fairly decent season, both here in ontario, and just across the river in quebec. Being able to access 2 trail networks is awesome!!! I think there is more snow over in quebec...they must pay higher taxes or something!!!

It's all about how you ride. The MXZ is more for "sport riding" where the GSXis more of a sport tourer.

thanks guys! after talking with some of the guys I live with, and calling a couple people, the MXZ has won out. Being able to ride something a bit 'sportier' and more aggressive is how I ride, so the MXZ is the one for this guy!! gonna go and take a look at it this week, will post pics if it becomes an asset..i mean...toy...
