I see no one has replied 2 u so here goes.. I purchased an 06 leftover brand new from a loacl dealwer here in WNY..Had mainly polaris's in the past but a guy I ride with has a 05 F-7 and if he can't break it than I certainly cannot break mine, To get to the point because of poor snow conditions I only was able to get 400 miles on this past year. Didnot have any issues with it but in reality most of the modern day sl;eds can withstand anything I may have for them with that one exception of a ttree once in awhile. Right from the start I really liked the sled. I had a ProX 800 before this one and it really feels the same. Both handle the same and ride the same. I had the sup set at full soft on the F-7 and the Prox was set up in the "old man mode". I am 51 and half beat up..Like other sleds in the past I had I could not leave it alone and purchased the Bikeman pipe stealth pipe along with the clutch kit that goes with it.. I am very satisfied with the combo so far.. The set up works cause I can smoke the stock o05.. Have not yet run much of anything else.. THe 05 has run with just about evrything else with good results.. I run with my friends new 08 Drgaon 700 when they were both new and whoever got the best lane won the race. Stock for stock they were dead nuts. In the trail I thought mine was better felt lighter and turned quicker.. Turning now that is another subject. Turning radius sucks on them so give yourself a wide birth when doing so. An average 3 wide trail just get used to look for a field or start pumping weights cause thats what you have to do.. Arctic claims they will start on the third pull and it always does sometimes evan the first when cold.. Also have a friend with the snopro and thats equally as nice. Only bad thing about them is the track cause odf the lug height does tend to slow your top end down by 3mph or so but they do launch nice. Mine is the standard,,pickel green.. good luck
