    although i just picked up a new vr1 boost to go with my axys 800, i absolutely love the old wedge 90s polaris sleds, 80s too i guess as the 650 from '88 on i remember seeing at the bars when i would go to restaurants to eat with my parents, those days guys had the polaris leathers snow suits and it was a different world, but cool in its own way. i remember when the 91 rxl came out in race and rally, wow that was cool, followed up by the vmax for the next year. i i had a 96 and wish i would have kept it even though it had problems, had others too but the rxl was pretty neat. I'm sure no one cares, but those were good times.

    My old 440 Blizzard ran even up with one of those in 92.

    Loved the wedge sleds. I had a 92 indy 650 carb a long time ago. Never let me down. Happy trails!

      Thx! Happy trails are on the waiting list because the front torque arm and the shock are broken.

      The best looking snowmobile Polaris ever made period!!!! I had a 91 RXL and set up as a drag sled with SLP pipes and kicked ass!! Nothing like the old piston port engines!

    These were sweet until the OEM piston skirt dropped into the crank at 8k rpms. Ask me how I know. :) That EFI also had a slight bog if I recall
