I have a 2025 XCR 9R and I must say I absolutely love the machine. I bought it in February of 2025 and since have put 12,951 kms on it without a single issue. The fuel mileage is within a litre or two of my buddies 2022 VR1 850 and the oil difference is immeasurable between the two. This fall I plan on going through the engine and at least putting pistons in it and all the suspension bearings. Awesome sled. 

It sounds selfish but I hope that the OFSC lets the clubs give their trails once last pass today or tomorrow and pulls the pin on grooming for the rest of the season to save some money.    I can all but guarantee that the travelling sledders are done after today and in a few months we will hear about how big of a deficit the OFSC ran this season.   

Had that engine in a 19ft closed deck , vortec/alpha good performer and reasonable consumption at cruising speed

Exactley, no matter what I did I could not get comfortable , tried all configurations of the handle bars to no avail. , Back legs and arms feel way better, I dont get tired riding or sore.

Congrats on a great season!!
