Kawi 550sx versus 650sx versus 750sx ??

[squale]

Just looking at some of these skis in the 1991-1994 years. I'm wondering is the 550sx really a dog compared to the 650 or 750? I'm 6'3", 195lbs so I don't know if the 550sx would even be enough power? I know the 550sx is a bit lighter but still at 41hp is that thing a dog?

how much would you say each of these would be worth to buy on the used market?

For a guy your size, I wouldn't consider any of them except the 750.

And of course I'd be looking for a SN with a 701 or any RN Superjet before any of the 3 listed.

750
550
650
in that order.

Find a Superjet!

i would rather have a good 550 then a 750.

 

[squale]

why have a 550 over a 750?

and why not the 650.. I see you put that at the bottom of the list..

 

[Big Kahuna]

650 is only good for cruising up the lake, the design and layout of the handlepole makes for a very lazy handling ski.

 

[squale]

and the 550 design? like a 1991 - 1993 SX 550 ??

wouldn't the 750 be much better than the 550?

 

[Big Kahuna]

550 is smaller, but they are a blast........ for your size though the 750 would be better.

But, find a superjet!!!!!!!!!!!

find a square nose super jet. Even if it has a 650 in it. You'd be way more happier with your purchase. And it will save you time/money later when you lose money on the kawi and get a yami.

i got a 550, its pretty small especially compared to a 800 sxr im only like 130 lbs though so it fits me great. i can almost stand without giving any gas. i bought this 550 for my first ski last saturday and already am ready to get a superjet. id recommend just starting with an sj

edit: the only reason i got a 550 instead of an sj to start with is because it was cheap, and i plan on keeping it for friends to ride. and it was a nice learning experience i suppose

how about a 2007 Kawi SXR? what would be a good price to pay for a this machine with about 5 hours use on it?

has the SXR's changed over the past few years ?

 

[yankeeboy]

find a superjet!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you have your heart set on a kawi? i've had a 550, a 750, and now a superjet, and wish i had gotten the superjet to begin with. i've never ridden an sxr, but they tend to be more expensive than the average superjet.

Let's just say for the cost of a 2007 SXR you could get a RN SJ and a SN SJ for your friends to ride.
