Damn American pricing!!  Thought that was Canadian dollars!

Spoke to the local doo dealer and apparently they are limited, at least for this year so he's not offering any discount and he's limited to 50 as it's based on sleds sold and he sold about 270 apparent;y 

If anyone knows a dealer stateside that is or will offer better pricing, please let me know.

Thanks

Mike

When I get home from Sep-tile I will check to see if any are available, we are talking about the original  generation 1 modular helmet, is that correct.  If right they had a ton of them last season, maybe 200 of them on display on the floor stacked up in a square maybe 6 by 6 and 4.5 feet high, I highly doubt they sold all of them!

I went to the NH Snodeo Friday and rode the new 900 Turbo in the Grand Touring, Adrenaline, Enduro and X versions. Wasn't very crowded so I kept riding them over and over. Also tried an 850 Enduro, 850 Backcountry X Renegade 147, XRS 850 gade, X 850 gade, mid-season MXZ 600R and the Blizzard 600R. I really wished they had a non-turbo 900 in the gen 4 to try...

My impression of the 900 Turbo is if you have a 1200 now, you will be very happy and/or love the 900T. Great power, no turbo lag, can't even hear the turbo, sled gets quieter the faster you go. It should be no surprise, the 900 Tubro feels very heavy compared to an 850 or 600 in the same chassis. In general, I find the Gen 4 steering to be heavy feeling (it certainly is heavier than the steering on my Pro S Switchback) and the 900 T compounds that. Of the four versions I rode, I felt the "X" package rode the best.

I also got to try the new Oxygen helmet out on the trail. It is noticeably lighter than the Bv2S and quieter (there is additional sound protection in it). I didn't find a great improvement of left and right visibility but the visibility looking down is amazing. Heated visor and plugged in is mandatory (or cracked open). I closed it not plugged in and it started to fog right up.

My favorite sled of for the conditions and trail type was the Blizzard 600R. The mid-seas MXZ 600R is way too stiff for my likening. The new 600R is very different than the older 600 e-tec. Most notable is no engine breaking like the older 600.
