Isnt it featured in one of the magazines this month? Why is it so hard to believe that it will do 90+? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Its a monster of a motor to start with, and I have seen first hand these quads getting modded enough to beat some 450's in drags. Its not all that far fetched if you really think about it.

 

I will rephrase. Ive never seen a STOCK quad, and cant believe a STOCK quad will go that fast, except in the back of a truck

 

My brother was tellin me he got the outty over 90 the other day on a long downhil straight stretch on our ranch..

 

Stock, I don't think you can get close to 90...remap the efi, do some motor breathing work, different tires, 90 becomes easy to reach.

There is a lot of room for that motor to grow. The Outty they tested in Dirty Wheels clocked at 90 with 80HP. That was a reduction due to smaller diameter test tires, plus they forgot the radar gun so a stock truck was used. The truck and outlander hit 90, tben the outty pulled away. They decided to call it 90 for now.

Proper setup will get you over 100mph easy.

Mike? Have you had any problems are complaints? I was just wondering about the durability of the bike. Don't know much about Can-am, but am I wrong or aren't they made by bombardier?

This is actually my second Outlander, my first was a 330 and started to salivate when the 800 was released on basically the same platform with a few adjustments made to compensate for the extra power and weight.

I've had my 800 for only a month but had my 330 for two years with ZERO mechanical problems that weren't rider/owner related. My biggest issue was I kept getting flats.

Well I did have a loose battery connection cause me some problems but I don't relate that to the quality of the quad but my own fault for not checking the connection more closely, I added a couple of extra straps to it to make sure it stays in place.

 

Can-Am split off from Bomb to do their own thing. I though I read somewhere where the family want to do their own little thing and created Can-Am seperate of everything else. Cause I'm pretty sure that BRP owns Bomb. But I see that ATV Connection says that Can-Am and BRP are the same, but the survey I took yesterday said they were seperate. Who really knows anymore.

 

The Bombardier family and some private capital firms purchased the "recreation" division from Bombardier inc, this included Ski Doo, Sea Doo, Bombardier ATV's, Johnson, Evinrude, Rotax, Lynx etc.....the new company was named BRP, I do believe the name change was a legal agreement with Bombardier Inc. since BRP was now a seperate company they didn't have legal right to the Bombardier "brand". Can Am is just another brand from BRP just like Ski Doo and Sea Doo.

Two seperate companies completely now with no affiliation with one another.

 

I'm not too sure but as I read it that Bomb just simply wanted to bring the can am name and quality back.

As for the speed of the outy 800 I know first hand that the speedometer on my friends hit a max of 84mph, but when verified by GPS it was 86mph. Thats totally stock. So 90mph is very possible.
