Can-Ams are not ment for the 160 lb Panty waists out there. They are made for men with out small man syndrome. 200+ lb riders you lil chits can ride whatever you want. but big dudes get cramped on those lil toys. and its about enjoyin yer ride whatever you got. they are not ment for rookies and lil people. end of story.

Hey im one of those 170lb "little " people. But at my last MMA sparring session, i choked out one of you 187lb "big" people. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
when i was 117lbs i wrestled 175 weight class. Now im 215 lbs And not as fat as i claim to be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] your 170 lbs has somewhere around a 6% weight disadvantage in manipulating a 660 lb quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I bet you'd be fairly comfortable on sompin like a renegade though.. and obviously on narrow trails with it being around 48" wide your not gonna go as fast as a sub 46" quad. But i bet you its funner goin up hills where you can just stab the throttle and hang on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Nope.... I don't really like riding 4x4s at all.... They are fun for trail-blazing, but I ride mostly on fast open trails, and MX tracks, and prefer sliding around on my 2wd sport machine. I'm not your typical 300 pound rider, I ride more aggressive than most I've met. 4x4 autos bore the hell out of me....
