Well i have only ridden my 94 sx so i would not know what good is or crap.
I had a 92 sxi and thought it was a nice ski. It was compared to our old 650 sx. Then one wonderful day I was on another site asking questions about freestyle and someone replied back, saying I should check out x-h2o. I researched and picked up a rn sj from a member. First time I rode it, it was amazing. After a couple years riding it, I still love it (although it's cut up a bit) way more than my heavy old 750. Since then I have ridden a few SXR's and don't like them at all. It's just my personal preference though. They seem to nose in when turning tight. They feel stable, but have a heavy dampened sluggish feel compared to a sj. I like how light, quick and flickable a sj feels compared to a SXR. But I like messing around and jumping etc... Not racing. I just like the way the rn rides for freeriding.
this is the opinion of 80% of the freeride community. pretty accurate.
Getting an sxr surf ready takes 1 day. Getting a sj ready for surf correctly takes 2 months.
