Awesome! I imagined that one of these would be awesome as a snowbike. I think I already have a good idea of the answer, but how long did you get out of a charge?

It's not mine, but one of the other guys up here in Canada. I'm pretty sure the video is more or less the extent of testing so far.

The/A-snowbike, is the ultimate fun-toy.

One can line up every fun-thing in the world, to use for 5 minutes, 1-hour, a day, or for the rest of my life and I will pick the snowbike in the snow every time and twice on Tuesday. It is the most fun that one can have with clothes-on. I can only imagine how good it must be on that MX/MXR. Talk about "Twist and Go."

I still really want a new/improved EXR for a dual sport so I could leave my ICE RR-S as the dedicated snowbike.

Going through snow taps 1/2 of the bike's power so I get only half the speed and it cuts MPG by half also. A bike has to run at a minimum of about 1/2 of throttle just to stay going and fun, with an ICE and 478cc of displacement-the engine is running at from 5,000 to 8,000 rpm. Whatever that equates to on the MX/MXR . . .
