Oldest one I've ridden is a 1983 moto ski. Been riding it since I was 10, still ridin it. Still runs great. Suspension is non existent so the jumps are rough, sucks in anything deeper then a foot. But damn good for an 83. Finally hanging up it's keys this winter. Maybe my little brother can handle it now.

Rode my buddies 61 SkiDoo tin cab wood skis. How far they have come! The exhaust exit was right in your lap!

Only sled I've ever ridden was the ol moto ski, will be an insane jump from that into the 2012 800 switchback assault.

Yea the 2012 may handle a bit better and have some more jam! lol

I sure hope so!!
Will be MUCH better in the deep stuff. The ol motoski was shooting flames from somewhere under the hood when I had her in a foot of powder at full throttle. Had to limp home

If my memory serves me correct it was a 67 Sno Cruiser. My first sled we owned was a 72 John Deere JDX4.
