hey everyone what do you think about can-ams outlander 500? do you think it would be a good machine to invest in? if you have any pros or cons about the outlander 500 please list them. thank you

 

you can save money and buy a bruteforce or sportsman and then buy something else with the leftover money, like tires, clutch kit etc. better investment IMO.

 

I agree. Can-Ams are too expensive. Every ATV has it's good and it's bad points and IMO Can-Ams aren't special enough to justify the price. I'd buy something else, load it with accessories, and use any money that's left for gas. <u>But</u> if you just want a fast 500, and money isn't an issue, then the Outty is a very good choice.

 

here here! the Ottys preformance dose justify its price. but if it where me i would get another brand and pu the extra into excesories. like better tires and winch

 

i do alot of trail riding and mudding, but if i want to scream through a corn field i want the speed also, i had thoughts about a brute force but not sure

 

IMO if you are going to spend good money on a Can-am there best deal deal is the 650. If you have not rode one yet do yourself a favor and give one a test drive you wont be dissapointed!

 

thanks ill look into the 650 i also dont mind buying used to cushion my wallet just a little

 

iv seen some great deals on used 650's! still more than i would pay for a 2year old mechine

 

I have the outlander 500 max xt, I test drove the 650 and really could not feel a big difference so I thought I would go with the 500 to save some fuel and weight.
I know top end speed is faster on the 650 but not sure about the rest.
I ride double on mine 90% of the time and it handles great, smooth ride and fast.
The last 3 weekends playing in the snow racking up the miles and the stock tires on the XT do great in the mud and snow, they clean themself very good and you wont need four wheel drive unless climbing steep stuff. This thing wont spin unless you just want to show off.
I love all atvs, put 5500 mile on my rancher ( what a rock), my brothers has a sportsman 500 and loves it.
Buy what you really want and take care of it, They all are good you cant go wrong.

 

im thinking about the brutes now just no sure wat size to get? any difference between 650 and 750?
