I too am curious as to what the 4-stroke would be equiv to. I certainly hope it performs a lot better than the 660 Panther - a 3 cyl 4 stroke that is a complete dog and tops out at 60. Damn thing wont even spin the track - so forget about getting into anything more than a few inches deep or a few degrees of incline.

While the Doos look alike - considering what they have done with the chassis and suspension vs previous generations of all sleds - I can live with that. If you want to look different - get a paint sprayer and some decals, after-market farkles and go to town. Myself - I am a function over form kinda guy, and Doo set the bar with the chassis and suspension a few years back that caused the entire market to re-think design and as of yet has yielded only one other contender in suspension and frame rigidity: Yami.

Love them or hate them - you have to admit that Doo has forced the entire market to step up their game in response. Personally I love the current gen Doo sleds - hands down the best-handling machines I have ever ridden.

I personally never liked Doos before, but I don't have any reason why. Just never liked them before the Revs came out, and now that they outsell everything else by so much, it's like rooting for the Yankees or something. And I don't like yellow, but they do have other colors. I thought the Revs were fugly, but the xps look good to me.

But it's getting hard to ignore what they've accomplished, particularly with their engines. Are their 2 strokes long-term reliable? They seemed to have problems a few years back. But if you bought a new 600 now, can you expect to get 10,000 miles out of one? If so, it would be hard to argue for anything else given the gas and oil mileage the doos get with their 2 strokes.

I think that 60 hp 4 stroke will wipe out the fan cooled market too. If they're the same weight as the fans, why not get 29 mpgs?

idk bout the same since 03. 03 was easy to tell apart with the beaver tail. 04-07 still gets the better of me.

03-07 are all revs. it's easy to tell a rev apart from a different sled, we're talking say u got a pic of an 05 rev and 07 rev, it's not very easy to tell the difference
