Question:
Hi Mark,
Was horsepower increased on the 600 SDI for 2008? Which motor would you prefer the 600 SDI or the 800R.
Thanks,
Greg Horning
Response:
Howdy!
The 600 SDI mill is the essentially the same as in 2007 – about 120 HP. However, look for performance increases in the XP chassis.
There are tangible improvements in driveline efficiencies which we have experienced with our limited-build 800R.
The secondary pulley alone delivers as much as five more HP to the track at high speeds. Interesting.
Thanks,
Motorhead Mark

Thanks mark for replying. Would you perfer the 600 SDI or the 800R?

Response:
Not a fair question! How much power do you need?
The 800R is wicked fast in the XP. However, comparing the mpg to a 2007 800 Series III Rev the XP 800R gets more than 20% better mileage.
In fact, the 800R XP scored about 2-5% better mpg – every time – better than a
2007 600 SDI Rev Renegade.
Hope this helps.
Motorhead Mark
