800 Can Am vs Polaris 850XP?

[arff]

nope. too afraid of that pink rzr! i think my 850 just shivered! lol and this blue ridge is by whitecourt

LOL We may have to do a trip that way one weekend...
Send me some directions or a gps route

 

[arff]

I've never actually stated one was better than the other...just that certain methods of "proving" one was better might not be so accurate. And I've poked fun at somebody for being very narrow minded. I'm quite honest that I'd like to ride with an XP and see how it does compared to the old 800/700/600's. Arff...you have an XP?

Yes a xp 850 with power steering...

not good with this crap but here goes. go to barrhead, straight north through, then left to ft. assinaboine, left at t intersection by lindas motor inn, left at goose lake sign on highway. continue down highway till u see a sign for christmas creek. its the first turn off to the left. its an open area to camp. from there its about 40 different trails to the lake. you can ride for 17 or 20hrs(i forget which) before you cross ur own tracks. pending how wet it is. i might buy a gps tomorrow for this trip, if i do il send you those directions.

like i said- i suck at giving directions! lol

didnt mean to offend you. just figured theres equal playin ground out at fish lakes- wide open trail, tight stuff, skeg, clay holes. alot deends on tires too. iv towed and was towed home by tjr's 800(oops ran outta gas-gauge quit) we can do a points system over the weekend and see which scores best! also depends on rider skill, age of machine, yadda yadda yadda. not biast, just wanna get a few together and see
