Without getting political, I've decided to support Cdn manufacturing   Another question, I have Raynaud's disease, and my fingers are very susceptible to vibration.   Does the 600R E-Tech have a buzz to it?  I realize it won't be as smooth as a 900 ACE   Local dealer has a 2026 Lynx Rave 600R E-Tech, might be too harsh for me as I prefer to ride a marshmallow.....lol

I had room but didn't want to take it in case someone was headed back to check if it was there.

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!
