Those two sleds are completely different styles IMHO.
If you are looking for a lake racer go with the Yamaha as it doesn't have the suspension that you will get with the Ski doo Rev....If you are going trail riding buy the French machine!! :D

I can tell you that after putting 4000 miles on 2 different REV's, a 2003 600ho and a 2004 800ho renegade, there is no other trail sled. Nothin else out there that I have ridden, and I have ridden them all, comes close in ride comfort and trail handling. My 600 will run 105 to 108 and my 800 110 to 115 on a good day. The 136" renegade rides awsome in rough trails due to the extra length. It climbs hills and runs deep offtrail snow like a much longer tracked mountain sled and RER back up gear is the best there is on the market. Whack 162 studs in one and the acceleration on a hard pack will put butterflies in your belly too :)

P.S. Hey Mitch, hows the snow in MI?

Wow, those 800 will only do 115? I'd thought they were faster than that. My Yamaha 750 vmax 4 does 130.

130mph on a stock v max pogo stick? A YA, UHUH, OKIE DOKIE. Never EVER seen one beat a t cat1000 or a 809 mach z on top and they sure wont run a buck 30 stock.

Kevin, are you moving? Where are you going to use a snowmobile? over 100mph on a sled, that must be pretty crazy. Having a good winter? Cant wait for summer

Ya, but what would it run stock? 105 maybe?

The REV wasn't designed to be a lake racer sled. It is a trail sled. PERIOD. 115 on a bone stock 800cc twin in a trail sled ain't all that bad is it?

wanna run fast, buy a ne mach z 1000 and see 125 or better stock.
