    It's not that big, 200cc's 6.5hp with a TAV 30 torque converter, a 60 tooth sprocket and the governor , well, not governing anymore. On street it does 30-40mph. Off road it climbs, like a goat. 20170715_164634.jpg 20170715_164656.jpg

    Cheaper than a 4 wheeler, economical as Hell. And a ton of fun no matter what.

    I have a trailer and the hitch carrier is so much better if you are only hauling one bike.

    Yeah, this one is way better than the cheaper ones. It doesn't sway at all and it's rock solid. Plus you can sell them for the same price or more if you get a good deal on them.

    Well I keep my bike on the trailer pretty much all the time, so I just hook up and go. The one time I used a hitch carrier was a nightmare, though it was a double..

    Then it wouldn't be for you since you have a trailer and two bikes. This one isn't a piece of junk like the harbor frieght and Chinese ones. It's actually super stable and doesn't move around at all.

    Asher has a bad tast for the carriers since his small bike fell off the dual carrier some how. Since I've never had any issues with having 2 full size bikes on it. Think I'll end up getting a single carrier for when it's just me going out and still want the tent on

    I'd like an open tall trailer but no place to store it. My dads got a 4x8 hf fold up and it's ok.

    I just got a 6 1/2x10 foot open trailer last year and it hauls the dirtbike, quad and camping gear perfectly but I have been looking into getting another versahaul single carrier for trips out to Moab where I will just be bringing the bike and don't want to lose gas mileage by bringing a big trailer. But I don't have $225 to spend right now :(

    Well I don't suppose you'd want to run 5MOH anyway. I have a conflict as well so I'm deciding if it's worth it to go. I go to moab quite a bit anyways and come spring I'll be 3 hours from moab when we move. Not a huge deal either way.

    I won't be bringing mine. Don't want to deal with hauling the bike and all the gear out there when my main focus is wheeling. Will probably make a separate trip sometime this fall.

    Would be game to give 5 miles of hell a go. Also want to hit the Enduro Loop. I've ridden a lot of the sovereign singletrack and that was lot of fun too.

    The enduro loop was fun, but way easier than I thought. My wife who had ridden all of ten times did it with only minor help needed.

    Maybe next weekend. Can't do it this weekend.

    You need to plan for a full, tiring day, and carry extra gas. My brother's 300 ran out on the way back and we had to steal some out of my bike.

    He really needed extra gas? If jetted properly that's surprising. I can still get 38+ mpg riding single track. Also this carb doesn't leak gas when you dump the bike over so that's a plus.

    Any idea when the snow will start blowing up there?

    No clue on snow, it could start anytime but it won't stick around for long.

    And yes, he needed extra gas. No way will you get 38mpg on the grizz. Average speed is so low. Also doesn't help when you flip you bike over a couple times and spill gas out of the tank vent. We stole 20oz out of my bike for him, and I was on reserve by the time we made it back even on the 150.
