- It's hard to believe these fantastic snowmobiles were only produced for one year, more than 30 years ago. Here's a tribute, with a little bit of talking and a lottle bit of riding--in powder, in the trees, across a creek, and into the night where the wild things are.

Rider forward 15 years before the first gen REV,way before its time(As snowmobilers average age got older they needed something to ride better through the humps/bumps),next step after the long travel Reva lotion of the 1990s(Thank you FAST inc)😁
This classic AJ material! I did enjoy it a lot. Thank you for this discovery!
Love it! Have three sports - two are long tracked - but all are for sale now that the kids are grown.
Long tracked--that sounds good. Sad to see them go but you should get good money for them.
Excellent video, thanks for posting - Cheers from Québec, Canada
looks like a blast!
Speaking of which, even more fun than the Arctic Cat Blast.
Yay! Great you've got a family of family friendly sleds. Man I miss that place. Can't wait to come back, with my mini me :-)
Ready and waiting.
Cool little thing ... I never saw one before--- (3:04 Lucky Dog, I Hope). Gladd you were not wearing a heavy tool belt mate.
Joking aside...Thanks for Video.. Now I want to find one to ride... looks Fun, Fun
We have one of the 80cc Suzuki quads like you have. I rode the piss out off that thing and just kept going. I rode it for like 6 or 7 years such a fun machine. I’m 21 now so I got a mud pro 700 last year so a bit of a different machine haha
Ah, well done for spying that Suzuki quad in the shed. They rip!
Ive owned dirt bikes and quads all my life and always wanted to get a snowmobile I may keep my eyes And ears open for one of those little bad boys you have there they seem pretty slick. Nice job on the video entertaining
Thanks. If you’re into bikes and quads you will probably find a lot to enjoy on a sled. Big learning curve though, if you want to get into the real mountains.
Oh yes... Music choice = perfect... for the little 125cc feller.
now i want a snosport 😅
Of course you do.
I always thought these looked pretty cool back in the late 80’s when they came out. I thought it was interesting when you said you guys were having just as much fun on the snowscoot as the bigger sleds. Funny how in power sports everything seems to have to get more powerful, more complicated, bigger and more expensive. I’ve been wondering if always chasing after more performance we lose sight of the basics and what made the sport fun in the first place?
To me the high-power machines are great because their limits are usually way beyond mine, so I can keep pushing myself. Then when I get back on the simple old sleds I can enjoy being Master of the (local, very tiny) Universe.
@@AkatarawaJapan That’s a really good point. Much like different tools for different jobs, certain machines just work better for certain types of riding than others so one may eventually end up with a quiver full of sleds.
Part of me still misses the 80’s when my friends and I rode simple, easy to work on fan cooled short tracks and had just as much fun trying to climb modest hills and ride through 18-24” of fresh snow without getting terribly stuck. No avalanche danger, no huge repair bills from rolling, and no burdensome recovery expedition to extract a broken sled out of a remote area many miles away from the nearest road.
CR80 or kx80 carbs give them double the hp, stock bike jetting works pretty well too! slides right in to the factory rubber slot.
Pretty sire they use a 15" wide track and 2.52 pitch so you can put a regular 121" track in them and make a mountain mod (Or just convert it to a track that's dirt cheap and common)
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a plan. One of mine has got kind of lug extenders bolted on to the track and it makes a big difference, but a 1 or 1.25 inch track would be great.
Haha sweet ❄️❄️❄️👍🏼
I'm going to look for one tomorrow just because it's midnight and I have to go to work tomorrow to pay for it. If I can find one. Pray for me.
Good luck. If you find one, fit plastic skis. Essential.
You know how rare these are here in Quebec? They go for over 7000$!
You have got to be kidding. Seriously? They are great fun, though. Was riding them last night.
These either didn't come to Sweden or they're extremely rare, which is sad because I want one now lol.
Aha! They did come to Sweden but they seem to be quite rare. It'd be fun to get one of these, squeeze in a 250 and put a bigger lug track on it. What a machine it'd become.
@@themagnushjort That would be way too much power-sounds perfect.
@@AkatarawaJapan I think a bigger lug track would balance the power increase.
