i took one for a ride and heres my opinion. I drive a rzr so ill compare it to that. Its seemed better made with better fit and finish then my rzr. It was definately more powerful and faster. Problem though is it didnt handle near as well and seemed very top heavy. Its not a machine that inspires confidense at higher speeds. It may be the right machine for some as it has the practicality of a rhino is carrying and towing and the speed of a sport utv. If its going fast you like i drove the new 900 rzr the same day and overal performance wize the rzr beat it hands down. but you give up the practicality with the rzr. Keep in mind that both artic cat and yamaha are suppose to introduce all new machines this year. From what i here both will be impressive.

Can-Am,

Dangerous at any speed. They are very hi-tech and shut off with false readings to the anti sway devices. A brother in my club was in the ditch Twice in one day. When the motor shuts off so does the power steering! This brother had the motor quit (and the power steering). The first trip into the ditch and over the handlebars was not enough - he got back on that horse and did it again. This from a 20 year rider who has never dropped his scooter in a parking lot let alone on the road. Yes he did take the Can-Am driving course.

Darwin awards for people who have way too much money and too little common sense.

Can-Ams are not motorcycles they are road Hazards. Never in my pack.

are you talking a 4 wheeler or a side by side Higene. Ive go on the utv fourms often and have never heard of a can am of any kind with any shut off linked to a sway bar. It doesnt even seem possible that a company would put something in a bike that would shut it off in a corner! Can you post and reference to that device on a can am machine.

The goofy looking motorcycle (?) trike with 2 wheels in front and one in back.
