[250sx]

what WAS that? :wtf:

[Levi]

ack! :loser: Someone ruined a good 300ex!

[turbo]

they make kits for it, but that one is obviously a home made wonder. the kit cost 2000 and it comes with ski's and rear tracks, theres also one for trikes that puts one large ski in the front, from what i have heard on them, a 250r, tecate, 400ex, banshee, triz, and a raptor will all beat most sleds in snow when they have the kit on.

why didn't the guy just buy himself a snowmobile??? he coulda saved himself a lot of money and time...and a perfectly good quad:doh: but then again that looks pretty sweet:hail:

Turbo, you have been grossly mislead!!! They may beat an Elan or something equally as useless, but any half decent sled would waste a quad or trike with skis, for the painfully obvious reason that you simply can NOT get enough traction with tires on snow, even with a stud kit. Most people up here are running mountain sleds, so they have 2 or 2.5" lugs and 144" tracks and longer. Typical engine size here is 800 and up. Some of those things will do 0 to 100 mph faster than the average person has the balls to concieve. I have not seen an A.T.V. do 100 mph yet, let alone on snow, and that quick!! So, be aware of :bs: down there!!:p
Cheers!!;)

ic you have misread my post, true, that quad wont beat a good sled, but read a little deeper, i said tracks, they bolt directly on to a quad, with tracks running you get more traction, and in the state of SD, sure there are sleds that will do 100mph faster than a person really wants too, but that speed does not get used on the trail. cuz here on a normal winter we reciece 4-5 feet of snow, and thats in eastern sd, in western sd in the blackhills, when we get 5 inches, there getting 2 feet. so, when you take into effect of their 600+pounds, plus packed snow, a 400 pound fourwheeler does stand a very nice chance in the powder.

Sorry Turbo, you got me on the tracks thing. I have seen those kits but I still say a new 440 or biger would make the quad OR trike look stupid in the snow.....:p

[phatcat600]

Todays typical 600cc and up liquid cooled sled does 0-60 between 3 and 4 seconds and the quarter mile in 11 or 12.

Good luck beating one anywhere.

Doh, sorry guys I didnt realize I broght up a 3 year old thread.

Way to make myself look good...first post a disaster.
