Default is it worth the money

Is a can am outlander 650 maxx xt worth the money. Is it a reliable atv becuse im hearing that the frame bends(is this a serious issue) becuse im going to ride kind of hard. If it is not worth it what other atv do you recomend but im not into honda because they don't have a front diff locker. And not all that into polaris.

If the frame bends that is definatley a serious issue I would look into a suzuki they are very reliable and can take a beating the other day before i got the flue i carved a jump out of the snow bank and jumped my 07 KQ 450 got lots of air my girlfriend said i was about 10 feet in the air the thing takes it and keeps on going

Depends on your riding....
If your gonna ride mountains, and rock climbing, thenb yeah, the frame is suseptible to bending.. But ALL brands are at that point... If your gonna do that kind of riding, put some Ricochet skids on it and never worry about it again....

As for WORTH it?? Go ride one, and you will not want another... Reliability?? Depends on the yer of the can am, and how it has been treated and how well maintained....
Gonna ride much water/mud? Better snorkle it and put dielectric grease on it.. Other than that take off and ride....
There is NOT another to match the power of the ROTAX engine on these can-ams....
