Has anyone taken a look at the skidoo Elite? What does everyone think? Seems like a blast from the past. I just saw it on the Skidoo page and thought I'd see what everyone thought. Cool idea if you wanted to sight see, but seems a little pricey at 18 grand.

Checked on all over last fall. Vry cool in my opinoin, although a rich man's toy....Power ports in the dash, stereo, 4 cylinder 1000cc engine in back. opening doors, optional roof kit, etc......

I wouldn't want to get one stuck, LOL.

When i was in Drummand last year i saw an Elite there almost a grand cheaper than the rev. It had 140 miles on it, was trade in for a 2up sled.

I think it would be a cool sled for my Grandma... Seriously, she would enjoy it!

To tell you the truth.. I think they are the gayest things on earth!! They are a waste of ALOT OF MONEY!! You can buy a smaller traditional sled that goes much faster and weighs much less for a lot less too!! Spend the 18 grand on something else! Just my .02.

are you sure it was cheaper than a rev? the elite's are 20 grand new.

i think they're cool. my dad rode one and said it may top out at around 70-75, but wouldnt want to go that fast in it. good support vehicle, if anthing...

Imagine how many people would stop to look at it at a Ride-In or some other sled event, though....

Haha yeah, you could set up a little booth and charge people to look at it, maybe even give them a ride in it for a fee on maybe 50cents maybe you could make enough money to pay off the sled that way!! Haha jk, i still dont like the sled, but thats just my opinion. You could get a different new sled, do a couple cosmetic mods to it and have people looking at it in the parking lots, ride-ins, or other events too!!

I think the Elite is cool! I have heard the thing does crank on a nice groomed trail, but for the most part, the Elite's are used at resorts and ski places. Somebody that is renting the Elite, will not being buying a REV (I wouldn't think?) Would be fun to play around in!

It would be so much fun to roll!

seriously....
