First V-1000, Rotax Engine, 4-TEC

[safecracker]

Here are a few pics of the first application of a V 1000 cc engine for BRP. This is in a 2003 Legend, Skidoo. Roughly 85 Hp. Top speed on a good day is 85 mph. It averages 19-21 mpg all day long. The biggest downfall is it is heavy.

85 HP out of 1000 cc is pretty lame. Hope it's still in development.

That was Ski Doo's first attempt at four-strokin' a sled... :thumbup:
I remember them well; "Heavy" wasn'[t how we described them...
It was a bit more like, "Get your butt over here, and help me get this piece of:cus: out of this snowbank!!

They are heavy. My Family has 3 of them. They do go good and it is a good touring sled. It is not a trail breaker. It will go all day at 70 mph and get 20 mpg. I just got it running on Saturday. Now all I have to do is register it.

Registrations for sleds down here is now $100...

Unless you belong to an organization that helps to maintain the trail systems; then it's only $45!

In Maine it is $41.00 for a sled or atv.
