Rhino On-Road

bubba · 2007-07-03 14:50:44

I have been considering selling my crotch rocket and getting a Rhino. I was curious as to riding around town. My truck kills me on gas mileage, hence the crotch rocket. What kind of gas mileage does the Rhino get? What would road wear do to stock tires? Would it take much to get a set of wheels and street tires to switch around for going on-road and switch back to stock for off-road?

You can expect to go about as far as you can on your crotch rocket fuel wise.

You can go with a set of 27x8.5 14 BFG All-Terrain's. These will clear on a stock Rhino and are great for riding around town. They look pretty cool too. You will have problems with them hitting your plastics if you take em off-road on any rough terrain though unless you put a long-travel or lift kit on.

Lion Cart (www.lioncart.com) offers a great deal on the BFG's and have a good selection of rims for your Rhino.

Where ya from bubba? Here in Phoenix you can drive your street legal Rhino anywhere except the freeways. Also, what kind of street bike you got?

I am in Lake Havasu, the Rhinos are pretty popular here. Any idea on mpg if i were to drive it around town. I ride a '00 YZF 600 R and get close to 40 mpg. i guess i am gonna miss whellies, stoppies and going 120 down Lake Havasu Ave.

Here's a couple pics of a Rhino with BFG All terrain A/T street tires. Pretty slick.
