I have never bought a new atv and i am very interested in the new can am outlander 500 and 650. Has anyone seen the new dealer invoice costs on these atvs? I can find the 2006 pricing but not the 2007. I just want to get the best deal for my dollar so I can afford the all those accessories.......

 

can anyone at least tell me which atv would be better as a hunting machine?

 

the 500 is an extremely well rounded bike, still runs faster than a polaris 700 on top side and plenty of power to do all the chores. the 650 is a great balance of sport and utility.

 

If you're mainly using it for hunting I'd go for the 500 and save some money for your extras...It will have plenty of power and will get you in and out of just about anywhere. You might want to look at the XT package if you will be hunting.

 

thanks for the info-im swinging towards the 650 due to ground clearance-is there much difference between the macpherson front suspension on the 500 and the double a arm on the 650? also what tires would anyone reccomend for either atv? are the carlisle tires any good on th xt package? what about skid plates and brush deflectors for the axles?

 

Does the 500 have the same motor asthe traxter models ? No valve adjustments ?
