My Roxor cruises farm and forest roads!

[Great Out There]

I live in Central Wisconsin. I can leave from my house and go West into unlimited miles of gravel farm roads. Only an hour to the North, I have many hundreds of more miles of county, state and national forest roads.
I tried a UTV - but just plain wore it out riding these roads. A CVT clutch and belt are just not designed for hundreds of miles of road riding!
PS. MOST of the farm and forest roads TRY to limit "UTV" travel to 35 MPH. Actually, 45 MPH is perfect! The Roxor also gets DOUBLE the MPG of a UTV!!! (Of course, it loafs along at 2500 RPM or less.)

I live in the UP of Michigan. I want to do the (T)rans (W)isconsin (A)dventure (T)rail. The northern termination ends near where I live (an interconnected ORV trail passes within 1 mile of my cabin). I believe the south end stops in northeast Iowa (correction, Galena IL). My Roxor is street legal and MI registered/plated so I could go around some of the areas where the trail wanders onto regular roads.

Have you driven any of the Wisconsin trails that are part of the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail and if so what did you think?

Nice ! I use mine 95% on woods roads and hard trails. 2 - 3 the fuel mileage, not near as noisy and will hopefully last 10x's longer than the plastic UTV's.

I have done the "TWAT" on my motorcycle. I road the pavement to the Illinois border, and then back home from Bayfield.
I have also ridden much of the route on UTV and my truck. The "overland" version is mainly gravel roads and avoids the harder dual sport trails.
There is another route published by "GPS Kevin" that now forms a loop on back roads, to avoid pavement as much as possible.
I'm hoping to complete this 1,000-mile route during peak Fall colors! It would take 5- 6 days.
Here is Kevin's route - that can be purchased on an SD card: gpsKevin Adventure Rides - WIBAT
(I would make a few edits - and include a connector to my home in Marshfield - about 40 miles East of Rock Dam Lake.)

PS. Virtually ALL the back roads in Wisconsin are now open to UTVs, including connector highways. "Street legal" isn't a requirement!

Awesome! Thanks! I have a BMW R1250 GSA. I may do part of it on the bike and hit the dual sport section.
