Incentives

2 yr Engine Warranty w/ $600 in accessories
2 yr Engine Warranty w/ $450 off base price

Base Prices
Std RMK - $9279
Pro RMK - $10109

Was told to call back next week for trade in info for my '11 SB Assault

EDIT:
to clarify a little... these prices were for 800 155s with pull start and include one of the warranty incetives above... you'll have to add sales tax yet...

Here is another person's find.

just got off phone with cody and to my suprise that is VERYaggresive pricing. A new 600 pro for $8414 before taxes Wow


I pulled this off of Snowest. I have not talked to anyone myself.

Excellent Skylar! The base prices, do they include prep. I will call Ken. I always ask what is out the door pricing. "How much do I write the check for". Dealers are well known for hidden costs once they hook you in. I can see Ken's is already $150 better than my dealer on the $450 base price offer. I drove 26 hrs. round trip for the sled I currently ride. Ken's is closer than that for me. I will follow up. Looking at the 2012 800 Pro 155 in retro colors or possible the 600 Pro 155 just as it sits. either one I want the 4 yr. Star warrenty.

I do not know if they include prep or freight, the guys on snowest were wondering how a dealer in Wi can give such better prices then the dealers out west. LOL. Those prices are better than what Rexburg Motorsports is doing.

I haven't even talked to my local dealer yet, but I know he can't even come close to those prices.

I suspect those prices are base and then they stack the "other" costs on top. I will research it. I did make it within 40 miles of Rexburg when at IP but my driver was **** bent on heading home so I never made it over there. I suspect they can beat Polaris West in West Yellowstone, but I will do research after I get numbers locally. Rick Mom from Momsmotorsports is willing to truck it home for me for a small fee. My dealer said, "If you buy it out of state or from another dealer we will gladly do all service work on it for you." They have been doing that with my current sled. It has all been warrenty work and Poo pays them, so why not. They just ask to give them a chance at selling me a new sled first.

when I stopped in at Kens last week Cody told me the only additional fees off base price would be $89.00 dealer fee.

If that is true Ken's will move a record amount of sleds this year. I suspect somethings up. You know the to good to be true thought has kicked in. Rexburg quotes are higher by a bit.

I find this hard to believe. those prices are about a $1000 to $1300 less than any others. there has to be extras or pricing is not correct.

Ken's has been known for their very low pricing on late models. My brother bought an 07' IQ from them in Fall of 08'. He sold it in Feb. this year with over 4000 miles on it for a loss of only 1k. The pricing was that good. This may translate into new model year pricing as well. I know I would check them out for sure. That is if they pick up Doo!

When the rev came out they were jamming that thing down your throat at every venue they could. Chassis cut aways, charts and graphs, demo rides everywhere. Reps buzzing around like mosquito's. Same thing with Yami when they started pushing the four strokes and when they came out with nitro and phazers. Same with Poo when they came out with the Pro and Rush Chassis. Lake Geneva is one of the biggest snowcross events in the country, and they don't have a rep there pushing a brand new chassis? I know you piss green ezra, but you got to admit, thats just bad business. The name alone can only carry you so far. You need to convince and prove why your product is better than the competition, in this day and age. Or at least SHOW me the product so I can convince myself! Brand loyalty is only gona sell so many sleds!

When I go out and ride I don't ride marketing.

I have to admit that it would be nice to talk to the engineers though. I had to make some chassis changes this season and only the engineers could answer the questions I had about the setup.

I do piss green but have owned sleds from the big 3 and sleds from long shut down corps.I agree no reps pushing I think that is a good thing.I am talking about the buzz from consumers I have never seen this much intrest.I just found out today the fr arm on the skid moves at top mount just like the sp600.diff subject.they dont have anything to prove to you or any one else there record over the past 10 yrs has very few mechanical blemishes. the big spring test ride craze came from desperation to show the consumer see we have our stuff together please come back we got it right this time just try it you will see. the rags have been riding these things for some time now the revues will be on the shelf in no time In fact American snowmobiler is out now with lots good to say.do I believe everything the rags say heck no.but will be good tech info on what and why.and if they had test rides in the Midwest right now where would you go indy's yard patch ?they are letting some guys ride them out west but not every tire kicker who thinks they can ride a sled.

He's on all the Arctic Cat threads. I can't figure it out why either...I think down deep he really loves Arctic Cat.
