Made a poll. Note: can vote more than once if you have more sleds.
I know most are running 800cc off trail. Just curious how many 600cc are out there. Seems there getting to be less less.

Oh I remember them but who makes one now? Agree, faster than 600 but usually lasted longer than 800.
Actually part reason started poll. Was at big dealer yesterday browsing noticed lack of 600cc on floor.
Was thinking how they sell versus 800cc. And with HP rising on 800's kind of surprising someone hasnt come out with something between the two or even bump up the 600cc size wise.


If you run 700cc you'll have to vote other. ;)

When you include the 145 hp 800 ,I will put my 700's in that group. I don't have a problem rounding down.:)

Pretty sure that "145" HP 800 was updated in 2015.....don't matter either way though....the 600 class 4 strokes will show
your thirsty "160" 800 its snowflap all day long in da UP, EH?

I was in the market to buy a 600 last season, then ended up selling it already this fall. I also thought there were a lot less 600's than 800's out there. In many cases I even think the 600's took in dollars very close to comparable 800's. Granted all I was looking at were Cat f6's and comparing them to f8's but I was surprised at what I found. Not to knock any of the guys out there riding or looking at 600's but I wondered if guys were looking for 600's for wives or girl friends and since they were harder to find that may have pushed the price point up a little. I know in my case I wanted a sled for my wife and figured she may be a little intimated by the idea of an 800 so a 600 with electric start and reverse seemed more user friendly. Too bad she thought new furniture was more user friendly :)

Why ya such a hater? ;)


I can tell you why,,,,,,some chassis are lagging in technology and need more hp, and still cannot go the same places the superior designed chassis can go,,,,,,now that there is funny




but true

You have something against 700's? Remember those sleds that hang with 800's but are more reliable .

I also liked the 700 class. if they still had 1 I would deff consider it. insurance wise they were a winner. between the 03to06 cat 700 and the 07to 09 cat800 there was what 3hp diff.

Poos new 800ho dyno'd at 160ish with a polaris tuned box at DTR. 154hp with the stock tune. Its in the ballpark now of the etec and cat. See if they flop it into the RMK next year.

800 is really all I need, I don't lake race and not really sure if I went over 95 last year. I was in the market for the 600 El Tigre last year but purchased a 2012 F8. No complaints here.
