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.  

Obviously no one in your group had space for it?      I will let my buddy know.     We are going to Gaspe next Monday otherwise it would have been a good excuse to go up and get it this weekend.    

I don't like iso flex in doo 600's. The poo's the crank bearings are lubed via oil pump.
