LOL, nothin like goin backwards in technology. Why would I want something heavier when lighter is available?

It's not going backwards in technology it's going forward, weight is just a number, I rode the Turbo two-up for about 20 miles last March, on the Red Lake River, down an old spur that had 2'-3' moguls, and along the ditchline along Pennington Cty. Hwy. 3 and down State Hwy 59, in every situation I could ride the Turbo faster than I could my ZR 900 Sno-Pro.
Lightness is fine for a Sno-Cross track, my style of riding is similar to Cross Country racing, give me a sled that is solid and can take on any terrain in a 300 mile day with my 200lbs and another 40lbs gear on board and not fold up.
Keep the trackside down  .

LOL! Now I've heard everything.

Sign this guy up for the 2-upper nationals. Sounds like competition for yammr and THE SKUNK.
Oil would be cheaper if the greenies stopped using it.

The big surprise with Doo is how shizzy they do in SnowX and CC, not how good they do!
