Outlander400XT

Has any one ran into the new RTV Can-Am finally came out with . I am really watchin this one. I would love to hear about or see the two Can-Am 800 s ride some different terrains , hills, mud and straight-a ways in a flat out drag against their new RTV.

I think it is the price and the attitude of most Can Am owners that make them the black sheep. SOME Can Am owners are the most arrognat pricks around.

Wow, things I guess with some has not changed much.

The Can-Am did not get much flack or their owners until BRP changed the name and started a major advertising campaign. I thought by now most would have grown out of it after several years had passed. Arrogance a strong word but could be used also towards the statement or statements that had been made time after time on this site and a few other sites by other Brand users.

I have not put a thread on here in a long time and was just testing the waters for a Can-Am Rider on this site. Stoopipbot you once said "Hey all them post are jut in fun, don't take em seriously on this site or ATV Fan. So I never take you Seriously !!The problem is some of the Can-Am /BRP users may. I think we are all proud of what we ride and think its great that some are fanatics about their Quads! LOL! So are we the BRP Can-Am Owners/Ryders .

Buck Billy , I liked your comments about the handling on the 800. Not sure if they can Tame it though yet because of all that Power is why it is so hard to handle it. I would disagree with the Advertising though . One, because it is not that easy and their sales would fall off and sell less due to the premium price they are asking. They need to advertise like they do. 2ND I think that all the Advertising they do is a great help in the the ATV world in promoting the Sport . They are dumping allot of $ everywhere and it really does help support all of those trying to make a living at this Sport which in-turn in the long run keeps cost down for others by not sacrificing funds they could spend elsewhere to improve their Quads.

I own a small business and I too gain from my competitors Advertising all the time.

Sorry this turned into a Blog , but I thinks its time that Riders out there stop attacking other Quads especially the BRP riders cause they do contribute allot more than we all know.

I was just wondering if the Can Am is still the unwanted stepchild in the ATV world ? I saw good and bad for all ATV makes. The Can -Am is no different. Just wondering if it has gotten more popular yet!!

I know this is old , I just noticed it.Maybe this will help someone in the future.

I had the same exact problem when I bought mine brand new. I took it back and the Dealer installed a new shifter. It was bent! I basically rock it a little and do not force it and it will go into gear sometimes I rock the whole Quad and move the Shifter simultaneously if it seems like it needs more force.

It took this long, but I finally got my Outlaw, and for only 4k. Thanks for everyones input, it really helped point me in the right direction and was dead on. Can't wait to get out the first chance I get.

Your welcome! I knew what ya needed !See page 1 the third comment.:bannana_guitar::bannana_guitar:

You got one great Quad . It can do most anything you would want from a Quad. You are right about the ride . How can you get board with all that power at your thumb.

:usflag: He did a great job! I would do it again too. I would help him fold it right in front of them traitors.

I hope that the Authorities take action against these guys. If they (who are responcible ) have green cards I hope they Boot them or him out of here. :smackbum::hammer::patriotc::seeyac:

Hey Can-amfan ! I see ya found this one too.

Roody are you going to jump too! Wow ! Or are tou just visiting?

Hey there ole Fart !One ole Fart to another!

Did you completly leave or what from the A-Fan?

There are several more ole A-fans on here too!

I just Quit posting on my own serveral days ago because of all the attack dogs on there.

The mods have just stop controlling completly. I was on alot last year . I came back after a ban it was way different.

I do not like hearing the same BS over an over again. Post an opinon once but then again an again like they got nothing else important to say. Very immature .

Ilike them Rocks to ride over then fall into a Mudhole. Looks like real fun!

It takes both a good machine and a good rider. If you are only a good rider with a crappy quad or a crappy rider with a good quad it ain't gonna work. You might get lucky being an ok rider with a good quad but I doubt if it ever goes the other way. John Natalie is a great rider. Can Am is new to the racing and they are doing some very impressive things. It usually takes a couple of years to get in the groove. Suzuki has been dominating the MX races this year and it is because they have had a couple of years with the new platform to dial it in right. I was at the Bluegrass Nationals when Natalie beat Doug Gust in the second moto and he was flying up through the pack. He is a very talented rider but it don't mean nothing if you have a quad that won't go or breaks all the time.

I agree !

Trail blazer the jumping was only metioned because if you ever go to a Race that is where many passes are done (in the Air).It is fun to watch. I only mentioned this because of the recent Guiness world record. OBTW I believe Natalies Quad Suspension is Stock . Remeber the DS has a great Suspension System. The Older brands have lots of Mods. That is a negative about Can-AM ,hard to get Modified parts or after market parts.

Natalie is an Advantage but not the only winnig factor. He would win every Race if he was that good like the example you used say like racing against you he would never loose.against you unless something broke!LOL!

Sweeeetttt!!!!!!!!!!!!Look forwaeded to the Video.

whaaaaa??? I LOVE that spyder. I want one.

i whavent been small since 06

back then i was like 5'2 100 lbs.

now im about 5'9-10 155.

Ok ok OKaayy You grew some since the last time I saw pic uf you was in 07 when you guys were posting up your my space sites on a AtvFan Post. I was just reading stuff an you were a pretty fiery little guy . You must be going through a growing spurt .

if im 15 and can handle a KFX it is not too big.

OH, LET ME GUESS

are you going to suggest him a can-am?

to the guy buying a quad,

trust me the Outlaw is the way to go. and im not being baised, its just the top of the line trail quad.

This is going to be a great event for quads and trucks come and join the fun and carnage.

It works just get rid of the / and put in . com

Is it a Kit ole Buddy!

It does not mean "jack" if his Quad is too slow. That Ds can jump farther an has all kinds of power, and Suspension. It is only early in the season,some said he made a bad move . We can talk score at the end of the year. I know one thing for sure Suzuki, Honda or Yamaha will not be the top three racers or teams this year.

Riders win but not consistant even when the Quad is not the fastest . Riders and Quads consistently win when the Quad and the rider are real good and fast for the Track they ride!

btw Can-am has nearly nothing to do with his win.

its ALL rider.

:no:Oh BS :aargh:and how are you going to prove this one ! Just because Natalie is good is not cutting it!

MAGAZINES ARE BIASED ON WHO PAYS THE MOST FOR AN AD.

LOOK AT CAN-AM THERE AD'S ARE EVERYWHERE, THUS THEY WILL HAVE BETTER REVIEWS. EVERY COMPANY HAS AN UP AND DOWN SO STFU.

I know some Arkansas Riders, I was going to tell them about it. I looked it up online I see it has a dealership Skills Competition. Looks like fun. Do they allow all Brands or just the Brands they sell ? I hope you can post the results or Video is always real good also.

some of my thoughts on what you should get.

1st Choice: Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS: it is one of the fastest on the market today, IRS makes it totally TRAIL READY. it is a very quick atv. light so you can jump also. one of the most versitile atvs ever.

2nd Choice: Raptor 700r: Quick, powerful, lots of midrange power. great for trails but no IRS, its very versitile but nnot as much so as the outlaw. ground clearance is good, a bit heavy for no particular reason.

3rd Choice: KFX 700 V-Force: Powerful is the main point in theis beast. it is quick, powerful and ready to hit the trails, its AUTO so its easier on the trails if your not that experienced at a clutch. heavy though, not that much for jumping.

Honarable Mention: KTM 525XC: like the outlaw, except minor tweaks, slightly better than outlaw but less top end. the reason its an honarable mention is becuase its a VERY heafty price tag.

The KFX is to big it will crush you especially if you are as slim as the pics I have seen of you from your previous albums and Myspace. The Raptor is heavy too.

If you get the Outlaw 525 IRS or S I hope you are one hell of a good rider cus if your brag on that Quad like I have seen you do in the past, you better be a better rider than the Guy/Girl you are racing.:laugh:

this place is going the path of ATVfan

a can-am post everytime i turn a corner.

give me a break..

SO! Besides ATVfan which I also have been on there for over a year with close to 250 post is more of a Yamaha

site. It gets 7 to 10 Yamaha post in that section everyday. I have not been on there much untill just lately.

Seriously Can-AM is getting lots of press because they are growing an have more models almost every year since they got back into it. I think the name change from the Bomb to the Can did more than anything else. But then that same year they come out with the 4x4 800 Renegade and the next year after that with a whole bunch more new machines or upgades that are superior machines not inferior or just average. I just read in a Magazine about the new 400 Outty was in the top 7 under for under $7000.00 and I have not finished reading it yet though it looks like it is was the smallest cc an ranking around 3rd or 4th comparing it to 650 and 500 4x4's.
