Last week end ride in Wi
Planning a trip with friends next month so did a little pre ride. We started in Goodman and rode north to Florance and Had a little Lunch. Did not start with a trail map but got one on the way. Had my GPS but it was not mounted and was not very handy. Will have GPS mounted before next trip. We checked the mileage and both Scrambler 500s got right at 20 mpg and the Sportsman 700 got just a tick less. Brought extra gas but did not need it. Found out my buddys cooler bag on his Sportsman was not water proof and he had a wet seat to prove it. I guess I like the fact it is way cheaper to atv then it is to snowmobile. We ended up riding a 100 miles.

wow...and I was surprised to see that my group did 60. I thought that was far enough, but looks like I have a ways to go to catch up to you. We were up on the Dusty Trails in Oconto County.

I tell you what, I am looking for a Sportsman because I think that wider seat will fit my Wider seat better.  I have ridden off road parks all day before and never got sore but 100 miles in one day is a little different. Last year we did 200 miles on the sled in one day and I felt pretty good. I am over 50 and no little guy.

Last Saturday me and the wife rode from Gillett to Wabeno and back. Put on about 89 miles. Only stopped in Wabeno for a little break. We are planning on trying to go from either Gillett or Moutain and ride to Wisconsin/Michigan board and back in a day..
The buddy I ride with has a 550xp and I don't know how he can ride more than 60 miles on that thing, seat seems skinny. I really like the 500's ride and seat better.

We've only taken the one trail that goes to Wabeno that goes from Mountain. Forest County trails aren't to bad, maybe a little better than Oconto Counties. Forest county is opening up 600 miles of trail that will be maintained by the county, which so far is pretty good. If you drop in Gillett, you have to drive down the road about a mile to get onto the trail. Those trails can get dusty quick and more sandy than dirt.

Your joking right. That XP you could ride for a year and not get tired. Nothing skinny about the seat where the butt sets. Little narrower in front if you need to hold on.

I'm just saying I don't think I would want to ride 60miles straight on his. He has no problem riding all day on it.

They are called the "Dusty Trails" for a reason you know.
