How did you make out, Steve? Would be great to hear an update about Simcoe.   Not actually riding the lake yet, I do not have any feedback that i can share, but by now with the weather, the lake has got to be good up and down the west side to kemp with some good snow.

I sent the club a note that my buddy would pre pay the shipping and throw in an extra hundo if someone could even hold onto it until we got back up mid Feb. 

How far they go on a tank is not the measuring stick you want to used, although what matters the most on a saddle bag trip, should be milage - that is a big difference between the tank sizes (Poo hold 20% more fuel).....shame on doo for making the tank so small I guess . Do not forget to consider the sled itself, the 650 XCR is a traditional smaller trail sled - also not fair to compare it to a sled that has a 900 NA in a touring sled.     Either way, both have some great fuel economy!  

My buddies backed out on the trip as well. Perhaps try posting on the QR facebook page or website. Gotta be someone from ontario rolling thru there this week that could grab it. Other option is seeing if the club could grab it and prepay the shipping. 

Thank you. North Gate was already on my radar, but this price list is new.   Thank you. I've added Rockland to my inventory viewing rotation.      Quite a few dealers still have a few 24's in stock that I've come across. Hence the aggressive pricing on them. Unfortunately for me a lot of them seem to be that awful two tone red and gray.
