Yeah very good point, I've had some experience riding them, I've just never owned one. My friend has an 03' gtx di with the 951, and it's a pig on gas. That is define fly something I'm glad about with the smaller ski. The only other two I've ridden were a Polaris slt 750, and an slt 780. They also wernt too good on fuel, although truth be told better than my friends 951. Guess I'll see how it is this summer. Thanks for all the help
