How fun are those ’90’s Kawasaki X2 jet ski’s?

So I only have about $1000 and I’m looking to buy a cheap jet ski this summer. I was having a tough time deciding between a stand up or sit down model. I was pretty much leaning towards a stand up model, even though I never rode one, just because I hear they are alot more fun and you can do many more tricks rather than just cruise around on the water.

The X2 is fun, but not as fun as a pure stand up. For speed, go with a sit down. For a good upper body work out and lots of fun, stand up.

Just my opinion, but the X2 was a horrible sit down and a mediocre standup. You can find all kinds of 650 size machines for under $1000, and if you are young and strong, try a standup.

I’m 36 and I was able to stand up for the first time this year, after only about 15 minutes of trying. I fell down a lot, but every time got easier.
