Paul,

It's a good sled, but not the most high tech. The Cougar back then was Cat's trail cruzer/touring type sled, and does not have the long travel rear. It had about 8.5" of rear travel I believe.

As long as it's in reasonable shape, $800.00 seems quite fair.

Good Luck,
-Joe

Well I bought it. Sweet sled, pick her up tomorrow.

Dont forget, I still have the sickness. Just waiting for the carb and the snow plow to dig out the trailer and start working on the X8.

Is that supposed to be sarcastic?

The sled isnt tippy at all, the ski stance is 4 feet wide. If I rode the X8 like I rode this thing today, the wife would be collecting on my life insurance.

Ya, I raced a Yamaha Phazer and wasted his butt. Not sure of the year of sled this guy had but, it was maroon in color and head light assembly was part of the handle bar setup, early 90's I think.
