ya thats one way, i sure liked riding my friends 800 Rev, he has it setup so you could just sit there and it would go straight up if you snapped the throttle, and still do 170k breaking trail....lol. I liked catwalking my ZL, better than my 700, that extra 1/4 inch the track is unbelievable.

with the summit rev, you just pin the throttle and it stands right up.

I lean back as far as humanly possible and feather the throttle at first, then floor it

bad pic - but you get the point

WoW that 800 is insane. Up in air in no time. I think it might have the F7.

700 EFI rated 140 hp with Comet Pro-4 clutch and secondary set to max, inch lug track with suspension set for max weight transfer. You do the math.

If I had someone around to take pic's when I am riding, I'd have some to post. But as my work schedule is so different from all my friends, I hardly ever see anyone. If we get some more snow, I will try to get some.

if i ever get my old rupp running and somehow do wheelies i am going to dig this up.

my newer sleds don't really wheelie that well due to the lack of traction and bad gearing(the doo has 670 gears )

Your machine has the same horsepower rating as an 06 F7

Dealer says about 100 hp
