any can am riders here and ur thoughts

[mikie]

I see most r polaris riders and so was I. then bought a 09 can am 800 outlander max and sorry to say but I will never go back to polaris. That can am is one hell of a machine i love it

[Tyler23]

i hear those are nice machines. but they looked over priced to me, im thinking brute force 750i

[Larson15]

Both machines have great low end power

I've got an 06 Outlander Max XT 400. Just got it a few months ago. It was well taken care of and I love it. I am not a hard trail rider and the 400 is all I need to pull the ice house around and haul some people too.

Bought a Outlander Max 650 last December. Bought new with a plow. Was going to buy a 700 grizz but, after rideing both liked the outlander better. Ive rode with the grizzlys, brutes, rincons, artic cats, just about all the same what i notice is how the outlander can take ruff trails a litlle better but, thats just my opion, And i like the power the Outlander has when needed.

I really want a CanAm over my popo...someday.

[Tim Boomgarden]

I agree with ya guys!! Have had a polaris sportsman for the past 6 years and just got a 06 outlander 800 and will never go back! The power is just unreal!! I love it!!

I have the early version which is the Bombarier Traxter from 2001 and it has been a powerful and dependable machine for me.

my wife and i got the outlander max (2 up seat) last year and love it. only thing i dont like is the lack of speed and some power in reverse. we have the 500.

I looked long and hard at that same machine, but in the end went with something else. Just little things about the other machine that I personally liked better - Nothing at all against the Can-Am, it's a great machine. Just personal preference.

[CrappieBart]

Titelines, you made the right decision. I looked at them too and went with the same brand you did. I will not name the brand, but it's made in USA!

[mikie]

i do agree there is alotta power and in the 800 2 up more power and speed than u can imagine the thing is just nuts i like thst the rear suspentin is tortion arms and not a arms seems to make it a little less likely to catch stumps and think thats y the ride is very smooth my in laws all have polaris and once they decide to buy new again they r goin to go to Can Am also expensive yes for the 800 2 up its almost 2500 more than the sportsman 800 but ill spend the extra

Dont be sorry, you definitely upgraded.

[KLoopBinaction]

I'm running a 07' 800xt outy, had the 500 polaris. Really like the canned-ham. now I want a renegade also.

[SnoManX]

Have always been a Polaris guy and had planned on getting a 500 Sportsman but after test riding the Can-Am and the Sportman, I like the features, ride, and power of the Can-Am better. It's been a great machine and love the 42 month warranty!

[Realtor Boy]

Ive had a couple of sportsmans and there is no comparison from the Can Am to a polaris.. Hands down Can Am!!

[draggin bottom]

bought mine in 04 400 max the first year they came out. I still have the original battery and not one problem on till now voltage reg is acting up. Would like to buy new one someday with bigger motor so i can put tracks on it for ice fishing. Great machines couldn,t be happier Terry

[huntingislife]

I have had just about every brand of atv. Now that I have Can-Ams I will never go back. Hands down a better machine than anything else. You pay more, but you get more.

[Macgyver55]

Hands down a better machine than anything else. You pay more, but you get more.

Sounds like you are a happy customer, thats good ....you make the best salesmen!

But, better is a pretty broad and general term and depends on what you are gauging it on.

I have nothing negative to say about Can-Am. I ride and enjoy my Skidoo sled because its better for me, and does everything I expect of it. But, I'd hesitate to say its hands down better for everyone.

Just because I have nearly 9000 miles on my Honda doesn't mean its hands down the best, it just means I'll be a repeat customer for the 13th time since 1976.

I work on most brands of ATV, so I see about every kind of abuse they are subject to. Although some stand out at some things, none are hands down the best at everything.

Well that is pretty obvious polaris has no comparison to any brand out there! Polaris is junk!!

I would take a Polaris frame and 4x4 system over a comparable Can Am system any day. If you could put the Can Am motor into a Polaris frame and use the Polaris 4x4 system, you would have one of the best machines out there IMO.

[Larson15]

I wouldnt want a single part from polaris on my machine! All that frame does is add weight and that 4 wheel drive system is nothing great either. I got good evidence of this from 2 weekends ago

[Dave S]

If this continues to grow into another Polaris bashing thread, the debate will be over.
