MXZ 800 vs SXR 700..Which one's faster?

the co op kid thinks his mxz 800 is the fastest sled going, so we run it next to his dad's sxr 700 just to see which one is faster!

[@josephshields2057]

you have to line them up on a lake with just enough frozen hard pack for a good launch and good top end..... other than that I love a great sense of humor you bring to the "race"

[@jackhammer2671]

That's about as even a drag race as I've ever seen...I do agree can't beat the sound of a TRIPLE!!!!...Like both machines to be honest.

[@coryernewein]

My old 600XCSP hangs with the 700SXR until the very tip top than my buddy slowly but surely walks away. Damn triples have a ton of top end!!!

[@destroytheilluminati770]

the polaris 600 ves twin should mop up the yamaha 700 single pipe triples, my bone stock pro x 600 would run away from sx 700 triples, something must be off or wrong with your 600

[@coryernewein]

@@destroytheilluminati770 I think the ProX is geared different than the XCSP. I line up with an XCR that's stock except for maybe a belt and he will meet me at the far end of the lake every time.

[@destroytheilluminati770]

@@wo8795 I have access to long rail road grades and on really cold days on hard pack the prox would pull 115 on the sled's speedo, gps indicated 108-109, on my speed check radar it would clock107-109. also have a 98 xc 700 bone stock/144 studs in the middle, it would bury the stock 120 speedo easily but radars out to 113-114 actual, also have an 01 xc non ves 800 and my 98 700 will outrun it on the very top. the yamaha 700 single pipe triple is 110-111hp stock the polaris 600 i think is 118hp, the 700 and 800 just slightly more. polaris was often the lower hp sled back in the 90's but were always fast because of the clutching was just that much better than the competition at the time.

[@michaelhastie7324]

My snowmobile experience is "mixed". My first sled was a $950.00 Evinrude Bobcat SS with a flat apposed 400 cc 2 stroke engine. The heavy little sled had a narrow track no shocks of any kind, resulting in a beginners sled experience of 70mph if you had enough lake, opened the air intake box and shortened the wind screen. My second sled was a Ski-Doo Everest body and 440 Liquid cooled-Polaris "racing" engine which included some titanium rods of some sort and 2-48mm Mikuni Carburetors. It was quite useless, due to gas mileage and the likelihood that my brother would take it beyond it's limits. ( total seat time 3 hours). I never had the chance to see what it could really do. It's tank allowed about 20 miles range. What was left of the "Everest" was traded in for a 440cc Arctic Cat Puma(?), which had ridiculous gearing meant for powder only. It floated beautifully but it's top end was about 40 mph. This one lasted about as long as the Polaris Everest; that's 3 seat hours for those keeping track. The last two sleds cost about $150.00 per seat hour to own. For those of you who can choose and own a sled that starts after 3 hours of seat time, consider yourselves blessed.

[@Snide01]

Uh dude, you haven't even actually owned a Snowmobile then. First off, most Snowmobiles now days and even for the past two decades are at least 600cc and most are 700cc or 800cc. Second off they can last for tens of thousands of miles if properly maintained. They aren't even really that hard to maintain. Just check the oil, change the filters and plugs, change the wear rods every year or two, and put a new track on when they finally wear out which can be a very long time if you ride them correctly.. Maybe try again..

Those old ZX 800's were nice looking, but they were boat anchors. I remember when they came out and the dealer really hyped them up. We asked how they would fair against our also fairly new at the time, Mach Z 800 triples and he outright said they would "smoke them". Well...needless to say, he was greatly exaggerating. They never stood a chance.

To get more out of that MXZ you're going to need to clutch or regear.... They're not meant to do 100 miles an hour from the factory it's a Motocross sled that will top out at about 75 80 mph but it will get there faster than anybody else.
