I picked up a 125 hp Jag after test rideing one for a week last season. I really love the way it handles. It has the smoothest power I have ever felt on a sled. I am thinking about trading in my old Jag for the new turbo. The new Z1 has a turbo charger pumping the HP to 177. It will be in the local showroom sometime in August. I bought a new 50 pound lighter MXZ 600 for the girlfriend this X-mass. It's a whole lot faster than I thought! I can also pick up the front end with one arm. Great little sled and a blast to ride!

I average 2 to 3 thousand miles per year. I put 1600 on the Jag last year and about the same on the other sleds I rode, like the 800  Renegade,  Cat cross fire, and a few others. Most of the time I ride all over the U.P. but do ride a 1/4 of the time here in the northern lower. On trails I like the F series, the Jag the most because it is by far the smoothest, warmest ride out there. Off trail I like the cross fire and the Renegade.  Mostly I'm a Cat man. I have always found them to be ahead of the curve with suspensions.  First with EFI, dual A frame  front end, 4 strokes and turbo charging. I can't wait to see how the new Z1 turbo runs!
