Little playful race Polaris vs Can-am
#2
Not exactly a fair race. The Outlander looked like it was brand new against probably a 10 year old Sportsman 600 that was down on power in comparison. Not sure what the displacement of the Can-Am was, guessing it was a 650. Of course the Can-Am was going to win and win by a lot. Swap out the Polaris for a new Sportsman 570 and it would be very close. I'd love to see a Sportsman 1000 against an Outlander 1000. That would be the ultimate big-bore showdown. I think it would be a very close race.

Can-Ams are generally lighter and have more power per cc than Polaris. The only exception I know of is that the Polaris 1000 had one more horsepower than the Can-Am 1000 the last time I checked. I think the Can-am is a lot lighter so it should win every time.
A lot depends on the rider too. I once saw 2 brothers who had a Sportsman 400 2-stroke and a Sportsman 500 4-stroke. When I asked which one was faster they both told me it depended on who was riding them. One brother was always faster whether he was on the 400 or the 500.
