Interesting RZR/suspension stat

I keep logs on what I do on my machines. Today I noticed a interesting stat in my logs. On my standard RZR I ran 10.5 miles for every hour of use. On my XP I have been running 13.7 miles for every hour of use. Funny thing is I thought I have actually slowed down a bit lately. Only thing I can figure is I'm running over the rough stuff a little faster in the XP because of the suspension. Doesn't sound like much but if I ride for 8 hours in the old RZR thats 84 miles, however in the XP thats 109 miles in the same 8 hours riding time. Just thought this was interesting.

Pitbulls + width + suspension = you would be driving your azz off trying to keep up with your xp if you were in your rzr. You don't realize it, it feels like you are just cruizing. Like I told you... I was driving the crap out of my S sliding all over the lightly mudded trails driving hard and you were just going straight with those tires. You are doing more speed with less effort everywhere with that xp.

Hey Buddy, maybe you didn't know it but that is the definition of "Haulin Ass"

Now thats very interesting.....

I need to get a XP, so I can do math.........LOL

With the price tag that comes with an XP and a few accessories, if you can't do math don't buy one.

Nah, thats all driver skill.

Ok...mathmatitions....now what is the difference in cost per mile including total price of machine. I say it's not much after figuring in cost of upkeep. My rzr eats tierods and ball joints like candy. I dought the XP is as hard on those items.

Actually my XP seems to be worse for the the ball joints. It is definitely harded on the bushings. The good news is it only has 6 bushings on it and they are all up front.

To figure cost per mile you'll have to get someone smarter than me. Maybe Tbone will have the answer.

you have to divide that by the smiles per mile .....

If start talking trash about skill, you will get Tbone all stirred up again.

You would have better luck getting KILLERSKANK to figure that one out.........well.............uh...........never mind. That won't work either...
