New Sleds

Is it just me, or does every sled made after the early 2000's look like an anorexic grasshopper?

I agree with you Vader, that's why I love vintage. The Kawasaki to me was the most awesome sled ever made, they should get back in and show everyone else how they should me made. ;) ;) ;) ;)

So true...they do look a little funny! But you with 180 Hp and handling out of this world....i love climbing on my anorexic grasshoper and letting her loose......!!

But again, don't get me wrong, one thing that will always make me smile all day, is driving my 550 to it's limits .......that sled handles awesome for the ''limited suspension'' it has and the engine/clutch combination delivers so much smooth raw power that i just wonder if Kawasaki was still around, what kind of grasshoper eater we'd be driving..!!

Love vintage Kawi's....!!
