Welcome and Happy Trails 
As reliable as any other sled when properly maintained.

Welcome to the Snow Show! Enjoy. My V max has been reliable, but the gas milage could be better.

Welcome aboard! That is one of the most reliable sleds! Not the fastest or as they have been saying best mpg but then again back in 96 nobody was! I'd say the power is very good! The one thing I would do though is drop the gear down a tooth in the chain case, this really helps these sleds alot! There are several wear items that will need to be watched, but good luck and enjoy!
