yeah, my 750 will stay with my 98 easily and beat it. Im not saying this is the case all the time and for all years srx but on the river my 750 will win handily. Tried both from a standstill and pulled away on the 750, tried a 40mph rolling start and I got on the throttle late but I still caught and passed the srx pretty quick. Funny thing is I had the needle at about 180km/hr on my 750 and the srx was reading 120mph which equates to 193 or so km/hr and the 750 was going faster. Crazy speedometers! One thing I can guarantee is that the vmaxes are way tougher, I've rolled mine, put it upside down, hit a tree(long story), had it stuck a few times, and no damage. So far this year on the srx I've had a pull-through on a power-valve, bent a trailing arm, broke both ski loops, a ski, pull cord crapped out(had to start the damn thing on the river with my hands by spinning the clutch), and finally the handlebars broke off at the stem the other day.
