2012 Can Am Outlander 1000 XT

[InFeRnO]

Hello everyone! I am going to the bike show this weekend and steering toward buying the new can am 1000 XT. Just wondering what the general talk is about them (power, mud riding, weight problems?.....). Trying to make my final decision in buying a machine. Anybodies input would be greatly appreciated.

They are reguarded as the best bike you can buy right now...........There are a bunch of guys on here who just bought,follow along i am sure they will keep us up to speed on their bikes......Do you know Travis out at 118th &50th station ??

Travis Turner @ Number 7? You bet came on a class ahead of me 118

They are nuts! 85-90Hp and are great in mud!! A bit on the heavy side tho

 

[DaveB]

82 crank HP, 60 to 62 RWHP. They are still electronically limited to 77mph...but I can vouch that it gets there real fast.

i have a 1000 outlander and i love it. wheelies in high range no problem and really fun in the sand, havent had a chance to get it in the mud but if you wana see what they can do check out the ostacruiser page on youtube and watch some of the videos of those crazy guys. i think its the best all round quad you can buy. i use it for hunting, play and everything in between. i would not reccomend and other machine.

so if someone only had a meezly lil 10000 buck budget there is no other atv you would recomend??

so get a small outlander for 10k ? i saw a new 2011 850xp for 8500 as well?? i own a 500 gade to and was almost same price as my cat both under 9k new and i dont think i can take the 500 over the tcat but both have been great machines for me. im still trying to figure out where my 8300 went to on the renegade no frame protection dont like how nothing is held together with bolts and few other things looks like i could bend the frame with my hand. but thats what the ole lady wanted

i no the gen 2 has new frame have not drove a 1000 yet just 800s and im sure if 1000 is as good as ppl say it is maybe ill get up on that can am boner one day but 850xp H.0 will be next for me

Youtube - ostacruiser page... that's some pretty awesome riding.
Great - Now I'm gonna have to park the Grizz and move up to that 1000.
That is just a wicked machine all around.
