Default Can Am or Foreman

I have my choice right now between two Quads.

The first is a 2007 Foreman 500 with electric shift.
It has a hard plactic box on the rear rack.
Black, excellent condition

The second is a 2006 Can Am (Bombardier) 800 XT
It has a hard plastic box on the rear rack.
Aftermarket adjustable rear shocks
Two sets of tires and rims
(one are stock, the second set is aluminum rims and Bighorn tires)
The guy told me he will also give me a matching helmet and ridning coat.

I want to upgrade from my Big Bear 350.
The quad will be used for recreational riding and hunting.

I can get them both for the same price, $5,000.00 even.

Which one??????????????

Default Can Am or Foreman

If both are in similar condition without any major problems than this is a no brainer - go for the Can-Am.

A new Foreman 500 sells in the $6k range brand new, a single 500cc engine, SRA and has a reputation as a work type utility quad.

A Can-Am 800 sells for $9K, V-twin 800cc engine, IRS and is known for being one of the high performance 4x4's on the market. Add in those aluminum rims and Bighorns and it makes a good deal even better.

$5K for a two year old Foreman is an OK price, but not a great deal, you could probably find one cheaper. $5K for a three year old Outlander 800 is a good price, especially with the extra aftermarket items.

I have to agree with jaybeecon on this one. How many miles does that outlander have on it?

This has to be a joke. Lets see, Honda or Can Am. Hmmmmmmmmm.........

If you choose the Honda over the Can Am, you should douse yourself in gasoline and light a match.
