This is a very fast machine. You also have the option for the  600 cc engine which makes it even faster, but it’s a little bit expensive than the 500 SS. Still I think the GSX 500 SS is fast enough and if you’re not a complete speed freak I think you’ll be satisfied with this one just enough. The machine handles trails very well and is easy to control. It’s also pretty comfortable to ride, but it’s a little irritating when the brake dust starts coming up through where your feet are and stains the plastic with black “charcoal” look, but that’s more of a cosmetic problem and doesn’t at all reflects the sled’s performance or comfort.

It’s overall a good sled, but you should know of some complains about it. Actually not some, but one and I’m willing to believe it’s just a single case – it’s about wiring issues…mainly with the starting of the sled, but as I said it’s probably just a single case. If you experience any problems like that just take it to the dealership and I’m sure they’ll take care of it. The price is pretty good too. As I said you have the option for a bigger engine, but that’ll cost you some $750 on top of this one’s price. I think this price is pretty fair for the performance and quality you’re getting and you’ll be happy with the GSX snowmobile if you decide to buy it.
