I'm looking for advice and suggestions. I want to buy a couple 2 up sleds so my wife and I can take the kids along trail riding this winter. We're pretty new to the sport, and only have experience with our two early 90's Polaris Indys. We took them out on the trail last winter and the sleds were definitely not ideal.
So my priorities would be to have something reliable and also be comfortable/safe feeling for the kids. They are a little terrified of how loud the Indy's are, but still loved it when we were out on the trails.
What I'm seeing for options are some almost new (2015/2016 & 1-2k miles) entry level sleds - Polaris LXT's & Arctic Cat 2000 LT's - for around $5k, or much older but nicer sleds ( 2003-2008, 4 stroke, rear hand warmers, etc).
Any idea what would be the better option? I'm assuming the newer sleds would be more reliable, but maybe not as comfortable for the passenger on long rides. Maybe even the older sleds are reliable enough now that it's not an issue? I guess anything will be an improvement over my old sleds. :)
Finally, I guess I'm starting to think about snow a little early. Is there any advantage to buying now, or is it better to wait until the shops are putting away their bikes & starting to focus on sleds?
