who owns one?
been looking for a new around the house trail/wife/back up sled.
used market is hot and that is a good thing for the most part .
but I refuse to shell out 6g on a 4 yr old sled with 3k on it.
been peeking at the gade 600 sport.
I know the old cast iron sleeve 600 is tough
what I need to know how bad or good is it on the trail?
I am sure it is fine on the fresh groom but what about 400 sleds latter ?
how is the build quality on it? holding up?
looking at like 8300 OTD kinda hard to beat the price for a 15 sled that will get little use.
my last trail sled got 1700mi in 4.5 yrs
not looking for opinions from guys who have not actually ridden one.

not in to 121s at all
looked in to adventures but 144 bit much and 85pr tax for a 600 cant do it
have ridden a indy 6 a few times not a bad ride .
and for the record I did own a rmk600iq flex chassis a few yrs back when my ride got totaled on a trip far from home .

I dont think anyone has ridden one yet. Isnt 2015 the first year of the gade sport 600 carb? I kno they made 600 ace before but to my knowledge no 137 inch sport 600 2 strokes until this year. Ive ridden many gades and 600 sport short tracks. Arguably best bang for ur buck sled out there. Those sleds really hold there value as well. Buddy had mxz 600 sport and rode it for 2 years and sold if for 400 more than he payed.

Seems like a good sled for your application and a great price. How will your green gear look on it? ;)

I have been thinking of that very sled for myself so would appreciate a seat of the pants review when we get snow and you have a few trips under your belt. There is a lot to like about that sled but especially the price!!

I am not the one who is worried about matching jacket .
now the war dept for her 1 trip a yr for 3 days and 1 2hr ride around the house will I am sure need a new jacket and lid prob a sweat shirt and anything else she can binge buy.
I bet it will get less than 400mi a yr.
she actually said she did not like it and wanted one like my old crossfire with the pinup girl stickers.
I told her I would have a set made up for the new ride

got to admit I also liked that sticker kit a lot

now the only think I have to watch out for are 1/2 inch twigs and pop cans laying on the trail. don't think the sport is worth the time for grip and rip

That's cool they still sell that engine at that price. I have the paperwork from the guy who bought my 06 fusion 600 new and I think he paid about the same amount
