Cootz Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Anyone out there own one? And if you do, what's your opinion on it? Just bought one last night and have about 50 feet on the motor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Lake Expert Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I don't have one, but if you need someone to test drive yours, I'm your guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Don't have one but I've heard excellent reviews on it.It's supposedly faster than all the 700's out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootz Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Ya, I've heard good things too but depending on who you're listening to, you hear good things about everything. Coworker has two kingquad 700's and was mostly thinking of one of those but at last minute changed my mind to the Can Am. I guess I had a skidoo and had some last minute brand loyalty. Bought this beast from Curt up your way (jltimm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, I hope you have better luck with Curt than I did? I own a Kingquad 700 and have had great luck so far. I did not buy it from Curt though! (Long story) hope that Can Am treats you well! Give us a ride report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoManX Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I've had my Can Am 500 since April and have almost 400 miles on it, even runs pretty well upside down! (Don't try that at home)It has a ton of power and have no problem getting it over 60 mph. I wish the shifter was in a different location because it can be kind of hard to get at if the handle bars are turned and the brake rotors get screechy when they are wet but those are the only gripes I have on it. Make sure you go to the CanAm HSOforum and get the additional 8 months of warranty to extend it out to 42 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootz Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 What's that all about? Haven't heard anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoManX Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It was an offer they were running when I bought mine this spring but I just checked the HSOforum and it doesn't look like it is still offered, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red ice Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Who's got the best prices on the can-ams? Looking at either the 500 or 650. Leaing towards the 650. Brother-in-law just got a 500 and want to have more power than him. Checked out Willmar and they were basically charging me retail and wouldn't give me much for my 05 rubicon.Thanks,RED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnhunt Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I bought my Can Am from Scotty's Marine in Park Rapids. They gave me a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoManX Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Best place I found was Honda House in St. Cloud. $600 cheaper than my local dealer, Sauk Centre, or Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 the 650 will beat any 700 out there and almost can hang with the canam 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
