Sweet simplicity ! thats an awsome looking ride, wish we had some snow around here. I have thought it would be cool to buy one of the big 2 strokers to drag race here in the Carolina's these guys would freak out around here. Hey jiggy what branch are you in, I am a former Marine and live near Camp Lejeune. :)

I don't understand why "Kawasaki" is in the listing for an Arctic Cat snowmobile.

It has a single cylinder Kawasaki engine.
My brother has a John Deere 160 riding mower that also has a Kawasaki engine. Very reliable.

OK, thanks. I did a little searching because I'm not familiar with Arctic Cat, and didn't find any connection to Kawasaki.

The actual Kawasaki sleds, like the invader were good and fast. Those old arctic cats were very heavy! I preferred the Polaris machines of that vintage.

Old cats are cool!!! Arctic-cat used many different engines until 72. Then they used kawasaki until they went with suzuki in 76.. I race vintage snowmobiles and i have had a lot of success with the kawasaki powered cats!
Arctic cats are much lighter than the steel body slowlaris (i mean Polaris) :) ,handle better,and are much faster.
The 292 Kawasaki single is the most raced engine.After that its the sachs and than the herth..Yamaha-ha-ha(I mean Yahama) :D had fast engines but like ski-don't :lol: (I mean ski-doo) they had boggy wheels and did not handle at all..
