Neither a sports car nor a pickup-truck. More of a comfortable, roomy 2-up SUV w/storage
85HP, very torquey 4-stroke engine
144" studded long track, superb ride. (rider forward design)
3200 miles
Curve Industries parabolic skis
After a very long day on the trails, your back will feel fine and you will always have extra fuel in your gas tank
Huge storage area in the rear. You can carry the extra gas needed by your 2-stroke friends... seriously, that's what we did!
$3500 very well maintained!
Great MPG and tons of storage, comfortable motorcycle-type seating. Lots of torque, very happy at cruising trails at 50-65 MPH all day long. Tops out at 80 MPH... but why? This is a high-comfort trail cruising sled.

FYI on 4-stroke engine comparisons: I recently test drove the MXZ ACE-600 and this Yamaha engine has a LOT more power and torque even though it has a slightly smaller displacement. My guess is that the ACE600 60HP is factory tuned for absolute best mileage at some sacrifice of power and this 85HP engine is tuned for more of a balance. Either way, the gas mileage is excellent.
