Thought about getting a newer SRX but I will due with 06 Apex Attak and 98 SRX 600 both mint. SRX only 3200 miles Apex 6700 miles Hope to go north many times this year .Our club has a trip planned for Snow chasers lodge in FEB .Hopefully some trips before. If we get snow in northern IL. are trails are usually in good shape and connect to WIS. THINK SNOW!! 
Been looking hard at some leftover 2024 Polaris Khaos 850 146"s and there are some great prices on them right now. But think I'll stick with the 2021 SKS 850. I really wish they still made this model because its the perfect sled for me. But if rebates get better I still may go get a left over.
One thing to consider those who have SRXs are going to keep them last year coming up with 2025s. I thought about a 2025 Yamaha since it will hold its value but just don’t use it enough now in SE WI and my cherry Enduro is in great shape but like you it was enticing.Thought about getting a newer SRX but I will due with 06 Apex Attak and 98 SRX 600 both mint.

some nice sleds for riding given/shown. i have done some shopping around, but please don't laugh, I am gonna stick with my old ride for a couple of reasons
1) quiet 4 stroke
2) sit down ride, i don't know of any new models with sit down ride-- knees bent less (knees been replaced)
3) paid for
4) smooth ride as new sleds, I just go a little slower, at my age, not in a hurry, (although sled can top out at 85+ mph)
5) good gas mileage 150 miles to a tank
6) riding partners will wait for me at the next stop, it only takes a minute or two for me to catch up
If I want to get on a new sled, I will switch with my son for a while
My ride is a 2004 T660 Turbo Touring, high miles but I still have good confidence in the machine.
Biggest concern is getting to be parts when needed.
My biggest wish is for snow, and lots of it. last year was a bust

No reason to laugh. As long as you are out there enjoying yourself and can't wipe the smile off your face then that's all that matters.
I personally will be on a 22 skidoo mxzx 600 while my wife will be on her 16 skidoo tnt 600 with 11000 miles and running strong.I can’t cancel a sleddin trip I haven’t scheduled yet. Lol lots of time snow conditions don’t get good until second week of January in good years.
