Default Bobardier 800?

I'm an Arctic Cat man myself, but our local dealer sells Bombardier products as well as Arctic Cats. That thing looks awesome and the guy said it would do every bit of the 90 MPH on the speedo, but I don't know. That seems a little farfetched for a 4x4. Have any of you guys ridden one? If so, what's it really like?

Is that a Bombardier 800 or a Can-Am you are talking about? 90mph is a flat out lie, even with 800cc. 90kph easy, but 90mph takes way more horsepower than a normally aspirated 800cc, even with EFI is gonna produce on pump gas. Maybe with enough compression (14 to 1) to require 105-110 octane racing gas, but pump gas; just not gonna happen.

It may be Can-am, bear. Are'nt they the same company? Anyway, I thought it sounded a little crazy, but this is what the guy claimed. I'd have to see it to believe it. 90 mph on a four stroke 4x4 seems impossible.

Stock it will do 78-80 MPH depending on conditions and surface. With some mod's might reach 90 MPH but WHY? Even at 70 I feel it's going too fast.

That's hard to believe. They just keep getting bigger and badder. I guess it'll never end as long as people keep buyin' em'.How long have you had yours, 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?

Thats the first quad ive ever heard of going 80mph. I would have to see that on a radar run to believe it

i personally think it compares to a 90cc ten-stroke...

it's quite speedy, but very unreliable

Bear with the bigger tires on that bike it will actually hit speeds in excess of 100 mph. They are talkin about the race prepped can am outty. wich is lightend, cammed, piped fuel and air mods increased compression and clutching.. It flat out gets with the program.

Another thing with that quad.. the front drive shafts have been removed so its really only a 2x4. it has long travel suspenders and it flat out rips.. oh yeah i said that already [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
