What is Can-Am? Is that a Canadian-American? I have never heard of it. I am thinking of getting my first quad and looking around.

Can-Am used to be Bombardier up until last year. One of the things they're well known for is that they make Sea-Doo watercraft. Their quads seem to be pretty well made too although I haven't ridden one yet.

No. Mine is the old style Grizzly. I like it. There are a few things about it I don't like though. They are more annoyances than anything. I don't like how it vibrates at idle. Also, if you get one, keep fuel stabilizer in the tank at all times!!!

There are alot of options out there! You will want to ride a few and see what feels right for you, and make sure you know what type of riding you will be doind most of the time. Good luck

if i was you look at suzuki eiger, gear driven not belt driven, they slip when your riding thru a raging river or climbing a shear face on a mountain, i see it all the time in PA, if you get the eiger you will go wherever the big quads will go plus you will leave the rest far behind, assuming you have great riding ability.

Oh boy, thats going to start a thread. My belt has never gotten wet, or failed in ANY way by slipping. Judging by your post, your related to motormouth f150, or you are him.

what do you plan to do with it?

tons of options, some are better for certian things and others.

how big are you, how old are you, is it for farm work or trail riding or all of the above

lot's of questions you need to answer before you just jump into it
