Personally if you want a sporty feeling quad with alot of power I would get a brute force 650 straight axle. You can pick one up pretty cheap and you could add alot of stuff to it with the money you are saving.

I know 3 guys with renegades and 2 of them are 250+, no problems and they beat the snot out of them.

If it's sporty feel and a larger stature ATV I would "one-up" the BF650 and go with a KFX700. Not as fast as the Renegade. But you can get into a brand new KFX700 for around $5800. Tack on another $4K to bring the KFX up to the price of a Can Am and that KFX will kill a Renegade.

Bandit,

The biggest ajustment on any ATV is the "NUT" behind the handlebars.

If you want to go through 3' of water... get a boat.

If you want to go through small trees instead of around them...get a dozer.

If you put a few brains along with the "NUT" behind the handlebars any ATV will give you years of enjoyment.

If you get the 800X be prepared to have someone slap the smile off your face when you get off the thing.

Have fun with it!!!

Wow, lots of opinions here. I have quite a bit of experience with Atv's, bought my first one in 89 and had one ever since.

Never owned a Can Am, but am very interested in it. I hate to say it, but I have had a polaris and will never ever buy another one, so that option is out of the question. Maybe I got a lemon, maybe they are the cats meow now, don't matter. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I ride fairly hard, but certainly not to the point where onion heads and racers do, and I have outgrown the 3 ft. of mud and running over trees bit. I don't care what you ride, thats hard on stuff! I kind of had my mind made up on a 700 grizz till I saw this one. Keep the comments commin, I'm readin!

I also tried a polaris once, never again. Have you looked at the Suzuki Kingquad 750's? A dealer in Mankato were clearing out the 08's for around $5800. I own a Suzuki Kingquad 700 and have had it for 4 years now and have yet to break anything yet? I'm a "wee" bit rough on things and the only thing I've broke is the 2 snow plows I've used on it.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
