I agree. I think snowmobiling is very inexpensive. Dont get me wrong, I loved the dirtbike and I loved motocross, but Id need to either marry into money, win the lottery, inherit a lot of money from some rich releative I dont know about or work 3 fulltime jobs just to be able to afford the costs of racing motocross.
I'll stick to sleds. They are fairly inexpensive because you can ride them year in and year out and as long as you arent trying to mimic what people like the Slednecks do, you usually dont have to spend much time fixing them.

I too am 14 and have been riding since i was like 9 and it is very fun. Go out and buy one you wont regret it. I have driven many 440s and they would probably be fine for you.But if you find a good deal on a larger or smaller sled id say go for it. When my '93 Arctic Cat Cougar 440 ran it was all stock and i was pushing 90mph so they are plenty fast. I dont really find them too expensive to ride and maintain. I REALY beat on that thing when it ran (CDI went bad or something like that). But i never had to replace anything on it except wearbars, oil and gas.Right now i am saving up to by a '95 Arctic Cat EXT 580 EFI for $700.
