There's a fantastic mountain-biking axis from Marquette going through Ishpeming and Negaunee up through the Keweenaw to Copper Harbor. Munising also has a couple of worthy trail options.

Where I live the roads are not smooth and many are dirt and gravel. The 600 is better for that. The wider tires provide comfort and traction.
