I always enjoyed looking (and riding) the 4 stroke Yamahas. Owned the 2026 Apex (Attak at the time). Something 'natural' about that exhaust set-up. Tailpipes.

Actually there was an issue with the trail between Hornepayne and hwy 11, this season, in that exact area. It just opened middle of last week. They replaced a bridge over a creek/river, and had access issues, and weather to deal with for repairs. Then they needed snow to open that portion of trail, after the repair was completed. But, If I remember correctly, it was red until it opened. Ski

If it was an issue this year the trail likely wouldn't be green on the ITG.

So now that I've got some time on my 9R XCR & had a chance to compare the fuel mileage to my wife's '23 650 Indy Adventure I thought I'd share what I found. We rode trails & lakes yesterday from Port Loring to Dunchurch for 45 miles (72km) and then filled both sleds back up;   9R XCR 136 - 18.5 litres 650 Indy Adventure 137 - 14.2 litres   I was running harder on the lakes & playing a bit out in the powder that's on the lakes there with all the recent snowfall. I have to be honest I am quite happy at the fuel mileage of my 9R. I don't think the 9R uses that much more fuel over the 850. My 850 was always within a litre of my friends 850 XRS. 

Rode in the Tory Hill are this weekend. Sleds are in my buddies garage thawing out. Close to 1000 hp sitting there
