Hey Alley Cat,
1st. I must say that the Jag is awsome!!!!
As far as the track goes, AC advertised the sled with a 128" track!!! all of the demo & show sleds that I have seen had a 128" track, all of the magizines that I have read, stated the the Jag comes stanard with a 1x15x128" track!!!
My salesman said that the sled comes with a 128" track! up until a few weeks ago, AC's web site listed a 128" track now it says 121"
blah,blah,blah....
What I got and everybody eles that ordered a Jag got a 121" track!!!
The 128" track was a big selling future for me.
I talked to AC and they said "to bad for you!!! what you got is what you get and that they can change anything on the sleds they want whenever they want!!! " " That's what my paperwork says".... subject to change without notice...
The woman I talked with was "very nasty" to me from the very begining and I told her that she was not a very nice person! I asked her if it was just her or is it AC's policy to be impolite and uncooperative with its customers? I got a snide responce.
Afterwards, I asked her where my mirrors were, she stated that the Jag does not come with mirrors.
I tolded her that I know that and that I paid $85.00 for the mirrors to be installed at the factory.
She told me to take it up with my dealer!
I in return told her that I have in fact spoke to my dealer about the mirrors and was told that AC will not ship them for some reason and that I should take it up with AC.
What I got for a responce from that was classic, "You know, there is really nothing I can do for you, good luck and have a great day"!!!!
What great customer service AC has!!!
Bottom line, for about $1,200.00 less you can get a Yamaha Vector w/136" track.
Depending how the Jag performs the rest of the year, I may trade next year.
As far as the sled itself, best ride I have very had, smooth and very quite. I only have about 200 miles on it as of now so it is not broken in yet.
There is a limiter chip installed in the brains of the machine to keep the RMP's down. Once I hit 300 miles, my dealer will remove the chip and my sled will fly!!!!
0 to 60 she is a dog (that will change with the chip)
After 60, it will hit 100+ in a blink of an eye (that will only get better too).
The adjustable handle bars are just awsome!!! changing the sit height really moves the center of gravity of the sled for more of a aggressive ride.
Well worth the $11.4 k that I paid with studs and mirrors.
Would I buy it again? probably, I am a die hard AC fan and I really wanted a 4-stroke.
I have been told by many that I should expect 23 mpg once the chip has been removed.
Good luck, let me know if I can further assist you.
