would you pay 16k for a jetski?. I dont know if its a good deal.. but you will only be able to enjoy it by yourself.. seems you could get a cool rail with two seats for that price

..kinda figured that. The bikes I am SPAM'n right now, they got a couple of these and I was a little skeptic myself on trying to sell the ones they have. I think I will leave those alone and let them deal with offing em. :)

Looks like a ton of air time fun with that long travel suspension and it would be pretty fast but I personally think that the solo deal gets boring after a short time... 2 or 3 seaters are around for that price, sans the long travel, but who would be skying with passengers anyway... I would rather take the girls for a fun ride than hog all the glory... LOL Just my .02.

Actually around $18k. It's a Short Sandcars frame with a GSXR 1000 FUEL INJECTED motor with a 6 speed tranny... :D

From what I've seen and heard, Short Sandcars are a hot ticket these days. The two-seater long travel, a gsxr1000/1100, 6 speed, and a good NOS shot hauls some serious ass and pulls killer wheelies in the dunes with paddles.
The one seaters are fun as hell but only if you have a bunch of buddies with 'em as well. Kinda like dirt bikes.......not a whole lotta fun solo & without your crew right there with ya.

You can find way better deals for 15-20k. I wouldn't spend 5k on that, but thats my opinion, and you know what they say about those.

You might want to check out http://www.badlandbuggy.com/store_parts_turnkeys.html. They have turnkeys from about $7500-20000 CDN. You can get a turnkey with or w/o an engine.

Just for comparision...as in, yes, $16k is high for that first buggy, especially for a single seater. :D

That doesnt look like any Short car I've ever seen. But the price w/ Gixxer seems close.
