ride them both, find what you like, they both have problems, start reading the forum sites for both sleds, you will get opinions all over the place, what are your riding buddies riding, etc. read all opinions with a big grain of salt.

at this point in my life my blood is yellow!

A few years ago it was the Poo color and before that it was a Panther skin.

I've ridden all makes and styles. Imdoo'n has a good point for once, (hahahaha)

The price on the doo sounds great here in Canada. Pretty solid after all the updates and problems were done. I have 3000+ miles on my 08 and it is still running strong.

ya see if you can take them both for a ride. its totally a personal preference thing... Dont ask on this site what is the best machine. it will just start a war.

I was going to say that that was a very good price for the Doo but then it was pointed out that you are from the states price have been a little skewed around here to say the least!

thanks for the help im going to try to get a test ride on them it will be kinda hard because the snow is melting fast i would like to use the summer to get them ready for this winter

Check the track out closely on the Assault. They have a tendancy to come apart.
