i may be alone on this but i find the best looking sleds were made late 90's early 00's , this is just my opinion maybe because it was the era where i really fell in love with the sport but im talkin about all the brands iu like the look of the polaris xc with the white cowl and the way it sat , and the zr's were awesome looking sled not too mention the thundercat , and the sxr and sx viper were some awsome looking sleds now for skidoo (my fave) the zx chassis was cool looking and i especially like the summits . again this is all just my opinion and like i said it could just be that thats when i got into the sport -well like early 90's\

I deffinatly agree about the early 90's polaris'. i think the wedge chassis is the best looking polaris ever made. the only exception may be a pro X2.
Snowmobiling is more than a hobbie, its a life style.

I agree, I think the late 90's early 00's Skidoo's are the best looking.
I hate the way the new rev's look.
To, pointy, I guess.

I like that new big bore polaris's look. Still like the 84's and 85's the best of all. All brands in that era look like they are going fast even whan they're not moving.

I do like the looks of the wedge, but now after riding a zx chassis im not sure i would go for another wedge, and i still have two wedge sleds including the 98 xc 700. Im not sure on that yet tho, as i havent really gotten to ride it after the zx.
I like that summit zx chassis above, i think the zx look pretty good as do the wedge, and gen2 chassis.

My favorite looking sled chassis, probably the 03-06 firecats. I liked most of the 00-05 polaris sleds too.

Might be a little biased but I am still a fan of the long travel Proaction yamahas, with a little work I think the combo of the looks and the triple are fantastic

Is there somewhere to sign up? I agree, the wedges were the best thing going, and in my opinion, still are.

Ya the nineties had some of the most iconic looking sleds of all time. The ZR will forever be a favorite of mine, Wedge and more importantly wedge triples are some of the coolest looking sleds around, the only Ski-Doo that I really like the looks of (besides perhaps maybe the old RV race chassis) would be the ZX.
But I agree with Slamdry, the 70's had some kick ass sleds!

You guys must be crazy if you think the old sleds look nicer than the new ones. Sure they look good but the new stuff is just plain sexy.
You just cant tell me that the old wedges and other 90's sleds look better than these sleds.

My 2 favorites have to be the polaris wedge and the genII. That wedge style will forever be an icon, and the genII xc 600 sp I had (after several wedge sleds) handled better than any other sled I have ridden to this day. Also I'm a big fan of Doo's zx and the original rev chassis.
I hope I die like my grandpa did - quietly in his sleep... not like the rest of the people in the car.
