I bought a 900T Renegade X this year and came from a 2012 Renegade 1200 with just shy of 17,000 miles
I have to say jumping on my buddies 2015 Renegade 1200 felt more at home, my new buggy just doesn't corner or carve the twisties as my old machine
I have done lots of tinkering from pulling in the limiter 2 holes heavy torsion springs on the rear, backed off the front spring on the skid and still lifting a ski
New machine is better on fuel, if he uses 37L i would be 32L Very good machine, love the power and maybe get a flash for a little more top end
Both machines run pretty close just on top end mine pulls away but not as much as I would have liked LOL
