I had an 84 9700. Could get 95 mph down the side of the highway. Fast enough to do major damage if you wrecked.

I had a 79 9500. It had the Rotax Model 454 engine. They were different from later Rotax engines in that they had 6 bearings on the crank, two on each outboard end, and two in the middle on either side of the rotary valve gear. I had it bored 20 over with Wisco pistons. It ran very hot, and would rev into the 9-10,000 range, and do over 100mph. Was quite a sled, I traded it for an 87 Indy 600, which was a fast sled, but would never touch the Blizzard.

Damn that sounds good, reminds me of the 80 Citation SS I used to have in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Mine had the separate coils that Robert speaks of (one for each side). Its like having two single cylinder engines sitting there side by side. The biggest pain in the butt about those older machines is the points and condesnsor system. I completely rebuilt my engine, used teflon coated pistons and all new bearings. Mine showed it to be going almost 100 mph. Could be a speedo issue but it was very fast. Scary fast ! I raced a Yamahe Phazer and although he got the jump on me I kept right up to him. He was shocked to see me right behind him the whole race. I think it was a 500cc (480). Thanks for the memories !

I owned a 79 9500 Plus. It was the first Liquid cooled Sled I bought. Actually, I traded a CB Radio for it. Not sure about the 1980 Sled but, the 79s came with the Bosch Ignition with the individual Coil/CDIs ( I believe the 78 Liquid Blizzard Race Sleds used them too) and then then they went to a Nippondenso single coil for the 440. The 340 in the 7500s also had the Bosch coils. While I never ran side by side with an 80 9500, a Buddy of mine who had an 80 drove my 79 once when his Sled was down for repairs and he told me the 79 had way more Balls than his did. Almost impossible to find those Bosch Coils now and Guys who do have them want a Fortune for the darn things but, they do/did work very well on that 440 Rotax. As for the 95-100 mph., that may be what was showing on the Speedo but, if you radared a 9500 with a light Rider, you might get 90-92 mph. best I ever got was 87 mph. on a really good gun. Just my 2 cents is all. They were a great Sled. Never left me stranded either. Oh a few times She limped home on only 1 cylinder but, she got me home.
