Need advice about the raptor.

Ok, so I've been thinking lately about getting rid of the raptor. I'm kinda bummed out because there is no where to ride anymore. Most of the trails around me have closed down because of lack of funding or landowner permissions. I've got a trade offer for a sled that I'm interested in. It is a 2005 Arctic Cat F7 sno pro efi with an F8 kit installed. It looks like a nice sled and it is the same type sled i was interested in trying to purchase this winter, though the upgrades are extra.

I bought my raptor new and I'm not sure what to do. The raptor is awesome but it sucks that it is sitting inside the garage most of the time and I feel like it is just wasting. Though the F7 will sit for 5 month before we even have snow.

I guess I'm just confused and a little advice never hurt right.

Aren't you going to have the same problem?? If you don't have any place to ride the rappy were are you going to ride the sled?? And unlike the rappy the sled needs snow to work properly

The sled is in NY. I would like to purchase the sled, but I don't have the funds liquid right now. It would require waiting till later this year, early next year.

The problem with the trails is that they are open to snowmobiles, but closed to wheeled vehicles. So it isn't a problem with the sled, only with the raptor.

I'd like to just keep it and wait and buy a sled later this year, but It seems silly since I'm not riding the raptor much anymore because of the lack of legal locations.
