I think I have narrowed my search down to these two outlanders. I have ridden a hand full of times and a few were through some some pretty rocky trails. It was on a Griz 660.
The question is do you Exp. riders think the 650 would be plenty for me or would I be regretting not paying the extra $700 Dollars and getting the 800?
I felt comfortable on the 660 and had no problems. I just didn't know if the 800 could get away from you to fast?

Any big bore bike can bite you, and the 650 or 800 can really bite. Figure a year to learn how to ride decent. After 2 or 3 years, you will want the 800, especially if you ride in the mountains.
About the safety course, CanAM will pay for it and will also pay you $100 for taking it. Not that they're good guys, they have to do it by law. I've crashed about 4-5 times, it wouldn't have been as many if I had taken that course. Weight management - riding a quad is an active, moving, body weight activity if you want to stay on top.
Ride safe, and you've picked a real easy quad to ride safely on.

I agree..........After a friend and I crashed we both took the course (I had two different brand ATV's so he got to take it for free as did I and I kept the cash......lol)

The 650 has more than enough power for even experienced riders.
