I still have my 2008 yamaha grizzly. 6600 hard miles and still running great. That bike towed over 40 cords of tree length firewood. I towed my 101"x10' snowmobile trailer with building materials 6 miles to camp. Can't go wrong buying a yamaha grizzly 700. My wife's 2011 grizzly 550 smokes my 700 by 4 bike lengths. No joke it's fast as hell!
The reliability of the Yamaha is untouchable ... I ride with a group of friends regularly and me and another guy have 700 Yamaha's and our bike have zero breakdowns and other than regular maintenance and break pads on the front and one set of wheel bearings that's it for the last 4years . Polaris and can-am are always breaking down and have been towed out multiple times. Honda are great bikes there just don't have a lot of horsepower .
I beat the hell out of both my Can Am’s, and have never been pulled out. My Grizzly was absolutely reliable, but the Outlander Pro XU HD7 is a better atv in literally every way.
Best video you have done! Loved it ,more like this.. Please do MPG tests!!? 🎉🎉 And range tests.. at putt putt.. geezer speed.. and 🎉🎉 💥 ' rippin it ' speeds...
After jamming 18 atv's in our overflow building, it was nice to watch you guys drive them for a few minutes. No real surprises but the CanAm 700 pulled pretty strong! We've got both versions of the Grizzly 700 right now and the newer, recycled motor is the clear winner between the two Always enjoy ATV content since I ride pretty much every day, and keep up the great work.
And they're all coming! Didn't wanna miss the chance to drag race while we had all at the same time, even if it wasn't perfect matchups. Now we'll start releasing the individual reviews and some comparisons. So stay tuned!
@@andrewsbbq I got the hunting model which is the highest price one with lots of extras. All the other ones are cheaper. Still a $1k+ cheaper than a Grizzly and I get way more features.
I don’t understand why a lot of people talk about Can Am atv’s unreliable. I have a 2019 Can Am Outlander 650 brand new. I have put 5000km (3000 miles) of very hard driving on it. Never had a single issue yet. I do regular fluid changes and greasing. I would purchase another one in a heartbeat (even though I have or will never have a reason to purchase one)
They are reliable, the naysayers own other brands and are biased towards their own. If seen some say(lie) they carry extra belts on every ride, called them out and they never provide proof. My dearer sell hundreds and rarely ever sells belts, overall he says they are one of the most reliable and he sells all brands.
They all have issues the g2 canam did have rear diff problems and I've seen gear box failures but not very common I've owned many canams along with every other brand except cf moto and canam is by far my favorite for my style of ridding yamaha being my second choice@@thomaselectriccollc8590
Great test - well done. I have a Can Am 1000 Max and just as you said, way more power than you need - with a few exceptions: Deep snow, mud and / or sand! The 1000 is pure magic when you need it. 90% of the time, you don't need it! I am very interested in the new Can AM 700. I was a bit sad to see the old Can AM 650 go away because overall, I felt it was the best overall engine choice. Maybe the new 700 is a worthy replacement. Thanks for the great ATV test.
I have and old 2008 can am Outlander 500 max at and still love it, I up graded the front suspension from a macpherson strut setup to a double control arm setup and added fox float shocks. After a rear tire blow out last weekend, I'm installing ITP mud lite 2 tires, can't wait to hit the trails! Great reviews guys, be careful with your Dad 😅!
I always wonder with the whole paying for a reputation of reliability thing: how big a difference is there really? I know how much it sucks to have your ATV break down in the woods first hand, but that was a 20 year old Polaris Sportsman. Is the difference in modern ATVs really that big? Is it worth a 25% premium between the Honda and the small Canam?
I think Yamaha and Suzuki are just as if not more reliable than Honda now. The outlander 500/700 are supposed to be built for reliability. Time will tell.
I loved my Brute Force, absolutely fantastic atv. It wasn’t a great work machine though, and as a farmer that’s pretty important. But as far as overall trail riding, the Brute Force is the best atv on the market
Great video! I'm glad you mentioned the price differences compared to performance levels. Personally, I compare models by price, not engine size. This is how I would look at it - The Grizzly 700 SE costs $15,200 according to Yamaha's website (Canada). The Can Am 700 is $3,000 less and it's a faster machine. A Polaris Sportsman 850 Ultimate Trail or Outlander 850 XT are the same price as the Yahama. The Sportsman and Outlander have far more hp and are much faster. The Polaris is much narrower in the middle too. The Yamaha has a reputation for better reliability but you're paying quite a bit more for what you get. The Grizzly 700 is a beautiful machine BUT power-wise it's in the same class as a Polaris 570 Premium with a winch, a front bumper, and steel rack extenders for $11,100. That's $4100.00 more for the Yamaha for roughly the same power and options. If Yamaha sold an 850 for the same price as the 700, or even $1500 more, they would pull sales away from Polaris and Can Am. Anyhow thanks for the great content.
@@EastCoastATV I have had 7 sportsman’s from an 02 500 to my current 19 1000. Other than normal maintaince I have Blew 1 belt on a 600, minor clutch repair on a 500 and a warrantied ecu on a 850 . I’m also the driver that hates mud and water and do all maintaince as required. Not bad for probably 12-15 thousand total miles.
I SO love Canam performance! reliability IS an issue; I choose the Honda Turtle machine; it dont burn itself out; and if you want Performance! get CAN AM! My neighbor got a 850 Outlander; HOLY FK!
In our group the two brute force bikes break down the most. One of the polaris bikes has a lot of issues but manages to make it back with trail repairs. My two hondas (rancher / rubicon) are always reliable and end up donating their gas because they are the most efficient. I picked up a grizzly this year and so far its been great but time will tell. Some of our rides in wisconsin can be 6 hours one way from the cabins. I will happily be the slowest bike in the woods as long as I don't have to be behind a tow rope or dealing with repairs.
@@dorothypeper1578 it really does. Wonder if it’s enough to beat out the can am 700 or no. Mine is quicker off the line than can am 650 v twins but they catch it mid to high speed

Never had a single issue yet. I do regular fluid changes and greasing. I would purchase another one in a heartbeat (even though I have or will never have a reason to purchase another one). As long as you take care of them they will be fine. That is more than what I can say for the people I ride with that have Honda’s and Polaris’s. I am glad my Outlander has a good tow rating because I am always towing other brands of atv’s on a regular basis.😂 (Oh ya. Still on the original factory belt)
Traded my Arctic Cat 700 TRV for a Can Am XT MAX. Both top out at 65 mph but the Can Am turns 7,500 vs Cat rev limiter hits at 6,500 rpm. I like the Gen 3 Can Am 700, nice machine for the money!
How about reliability talk? Best suspension for snowplow? Best towing capacity on and behind? Ground clearance stock? Cost for tracks for each same? Cost for parts? Maintenance ease like oil changes?
I’d need to see a “true cost of ownership” over multiple years to make that a definitive point. Plus listing the power to weight ratio would be good to know. The Yamaha is still the better sport/utility balanced machine, and bet hits all the normal checkboxes for that category.
I can make it really simple for you. If you want a four wheeler that is reliable and will last forever buy a Yamaha or Honda. I can back that up with real world experience of owning multiple new machines since 2017. And if you want a fast atv get a can am or Polaris they are unreliable garbage but fun.
try the base model grizzly with 25 tires, you will see a different result. this model has 27 mud tires and is slow on acceleration. large tires kill acceleration.
I would really like to see the 700 vs the 700 pro. Its supposed to be geared different but i haven't seen it compared. Geared lower as in it would be faster to 30-40 then get walked or lower geared as in just slower all around but more pulling power?
I remember buying tools at Kmart and started seeing "Hecho au Mexico" and a couple of other languages. It must have been around the time of NAFTA. A department store is a little different from a regional dealer I think.
On the first race you said the can am got the Honda by one it looked more like three, Man you need to get some glasses the second race at least 6 atv lengths ,the third race i'd say 8 atv lengths, you guys should have put a 1000 can am in the race great video tho it surprised me the 700 getting the 1000 off the start for the 60 ft mark
Im on my second polaris both were bought used. I have had then for years and put on thousands of miles and only replaced 2 tie rod ends on the first one. My buddy bought a new Honda, did the proper maintenance and has overheating problems, and wiped out the cam lucky for him he had the extended warranty. We both ride the same and do proper maintenance. Maybe other brands hold up better to lots of abuse and poor maintenance, but I will only buy polaris
The new Artic Cat Alterra 600 is super peppy off the line! I test drove one at my local dealer, shop quad model SE, and it was pulling wheelies off the line! It's clutched really well and I'm used to Polaris and their clutching. The AC Alterra 600 would smoke a Polaris Sportsman 570 and I bet it would take the new Can-Am Outlander 700 as well! You should review the new Arctic Cat Alterra 600, the LTD model is very sharp looking!
Nah the AC 600 isn't gonna smoke a Polaris 570. Basically same horsepower and stock sportsman will pull wheelies off the line also. A 570 outty beats the sportsman 570 and the 700 is beck and neck with the 650 outty. No way the altera is beating the outty 700.
Number one you had the hd bumper, upgraded skid plates and a box on the grizzly which makes it heavier and had none of that on the outlander 700 so off the bat there is a different in power to weight. This remaking the bargain of all being the grizzly 700 for its power to weight and reliability, ive seen how reliable they are and it beats every other brand other than honda
good video. a few opinions.. the tires on the grizzly arent very good in anything but mud, plus they add a ton of unsprung weight. i had two grizzlys, one se with those tires and a standard version with the regular tires. the one with the regular tires was noticeably peppier and grabbed better traction. i hope the rear box was empty lol. as far as quad lengths, technically the losing quads fronts should be right behind the winners rears, thats a length. im getting picky i know.
Good points. Agreed on the Grizzly's Zilla tires. In anything soft and squishy they do well, but hard packed trails/roads are not ideal for them. And we only loaded the Grizzly's box with a few hundred pounds... I kid! It was empty of course. Might have added a little wind resistance, but it doesn't weigh much. Thanks for watching.
I love and WANT high performance, BUT: Honda calls out to me; Hare vs Turtle; bulletproof mostly; I want both; cant afford both with repairs and broke parts cost; O.K. Honda
The grizzly ain’t about winning races. It’ll cost far less to maintain and last forever compared to anything built by Canam or Polaris to be honest…. All good machines but the build quality from Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki, although not as fast, is superior to the others!
@@JoshuaOverman And if they used the lighter DPS Can-Am 700 which is 150lbs less than the XT? The XTR is more than 60 lbs lighter than the xt as well. Can't change the fact that the Grizz is beaten here but racing doesn't mean shit.
I have zero interest in can am going to a single cylinder motor. The whole reason you get them is for that v twin power and sound. Would way rather have the old 570, 650, 850 or 1000r.
People buy Honda atv's for their stellar reliability. Honda atv's are used in more remote places than any brand of atv. Sort of like Toyota trucks that are used in remote areas of the world.
Fast is the least of my concerns with a utility/trail style atv. I'll probably be team Honda for the rest of my life. Reliability is probably the most important thing to me, personally. I've got a 2001 500 Rubicon, and I'm just now getting it ready to do a top end rebuild. I believe that if the maintenance is performed the way it's supposed to and it's not ridden into the ground, it will outlast the rest. Yamaha would be my second pick.
@@ClintL63I have owned the new Kodiak 450 and new rancher 420 both are great and bulletproof I can verify that. I’ve put about 2500-3k miles in each never a issue besides wheel bearings on the Honda no big deal.
Thats interesting - the old 570 outlander would *slowly* walk away from a Grizzly but lose off the line - this looks actually faster overall. I would wager a bet this bike is faster than the old 570 (which I have - trying not to be biased, here).
I think if you guys were to spend a day on the sportsman 1000, you'd take back most of the things you say are excessive. Yes, the machine is capable of wearing you out if you ride at the limits all day because as you stated, it has far more capability than any of the other machines you tested. I would challenge you, however to spend the day riding normally on one, like how you ride with family and friends. You'll start to notice that when you're not trying to be Ricky Bobby, you can cruise along at speeds that the small bore singles can barely achieve with 1/4 the engine noise, less effort, better ride quality and precise handling. This turns into riding literally hundreds of miles in a day, day after day while not being totally beat to death... you just need to spend some time on it to get past the honeymoon stage of all that power...
I agree that the sportsman is a great machine in regards to power and trail riding. I used to own an 850 However they are HEAVY. As an ATV mechanic, give me a Honda or Yamaha to work on any day if the week over a polaris. When something fails in a polaris, its usually HELL to fix it.. The Jap quads break down significantly less. 700cc is all you need for 90% of the applications
That honda shows that gear on gear puts down power where and when you need it on the bottom! For a work machine it would be Honda and Yamaha because of durability. The rest are junk.
My family has had all of them, but polaris. I do agree that honda and yamaha are super reliable. I owned a little 1985 250 honda that never died untill my idiot friend blew the motor. But we have never had issues with can am. Polaris though. We had a lot of problems with their clutches
Yamaha will last forever and retain a high resale value. I have 2007 kodiak 450 that i have killed for 16 years paid 8k brand new. Oild changes and regular maintenance and keep her clean and indoors she looks really good and probably could sell it a couple less than i paid for it...
Well have you guys ever heard you get what you pay for Can-Am is cheaper than Honda because it's garbage I wouldn't buy one of those if they were the last ATV on the market or a Polaris they're both ugly and both garbage you pay more for the Honda but you're not buying the Honda to win drag races you're buying it for reliability durability and when you're going on a on the trail you don't want those other two big pieces of drunk you want a Honda would be really nimble on the trail and you know you're going to make it back home!!!
Your just butt hurt because you purchased an inferior machine and paid more for it. The CanAms are reliable, just look at all the long distance endurance races that they dominate in. Truth is you have to tell yourself that to justify you overpaid more and got less, it’s slower, doesn’t ride as good, less comfortable, not as much fun, has less working capability and your at the back of the pack.
The only way that yellow Can-Am has a chance of beating the Yamaha Grizzly or the Honda as is if it came with a free mechanic other than that don't waste your money the reason why they priced them lower because after a couple years of ownership you bought the bike three times over Just in repairs and parts, that makes sense very hard to promote something that's cheap and that's garbage we are all smart enough to know you pay cheap you get cheap!!!!!!
Delusional brand loyal bot, tha Can Am is better in every way and possibly even in reliability when you consider ho well they do in Baja, gncc and desert racing. All for a better price is a no brainer.
@@firstoutlander well everybody has their right to their own opinion right Can-Am is garbage all you have to do is your research I actually know a few people that own them problems after problems absolutely junk but that's why we have so many different brands people like different things me number one on my list is reliability durability you'll never get that from a Can-Am or Polaris!!!!
@@truthnow902 What do you know you’ve probably never raced any GNCC, Baja or any grueling endurance race. You never see a Yamaha or Honda 4 wheeler in any of those finish because they break when pushed to the limit, we know from racing those. They break frames, steering components and yes engines. Under regular riding conditions they are okay if you want boring, I race to win or have the most thrills and sorry your toy can’t compete.
Id still pick the Yamaha or Honda. Don't need to be fast but reliably is more important. Great comparison.
Fair enough!
I used to think the same but $3-4K can buy a lot of reliability....
They’re more reliable because they’re gutless. More power means more reliability issues. Honda is boring compared to the others.

I’d need to see a “true cost of ownership” over multiple years to make that a definitive point. Plus listing the power to weight ratio would be good to know. The Yamaha is still the better sport/utility balanced machine, and bet hits all the normal checkboxes for that category.
I can make it really simple for you. If you want a four wheeler that is reliable and will last forever buy a Yamaha or Honda. I can back that up with real world experience of owning multiple new machines since 2017. And if you want a fast atv get a can am or Polaris they are unreliable garbage but fun.
Do a roller wheel slip test to compare the 4wd systems
Nebraska Cornhuskers Hat? Keep seeing this in the videos but they take place in Canada or Florida?
Canada. I just like the hat.
try the base model grizzly with 25 tires, you will see a different result. this model has 27 mud tires and is slow on acceleration. large tires kill acceleration.
I would really like to see the 700 vs the 700 pro. Its supposed to be geared different but i haven't seen it compared.
Geared lower as in it would be faster to 30-40 then get walked or lower geared as in just slower all around but more pulling power?
What about the king quad?
wish you would have got a cfmoto in your line up
Would of like to see a Polaris that would compare to the others and not a 1000
I would love to see you compare the HD7 and HD5. Unless the OUtlander 700 XT is the same engine and tune as the HD7?
Same engine with diff cams and tune, 10hp difference
I remember buying tools at Kmart and started seeing "Hecho au Mexico" and a couple of other languages. It must have been around the time of NAFTA. A department store is a little different from a regional dealer I think.
On the first race you said the can am got the Honda by one it looked more like three, Man you need to get some glasses the second race at least 6 atv lengths ,the third race i'd say 8 atv lengths, you guys should have put a 1000 can am in the race great video tho it surprised me the 700 getting the 1000 off the start for the 60 ft mark
LOVE THE RACING 👏👏👏 MORE PLEASE 🙏😁....HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ✌️
I like the can am 500
What's the problem? Are you afraid of the Kymco MXU 700?
Would have loved to see a brute force v twin on this line up
Im on my second polaris both were bought used. I have had then for years and put on thousands of miles and only replaced 2 tie rod ends on the first one. My buddy bought a new Honda, did the proper maintenance and has overheating problems, and wiped out the cam lucky for him he had the extended warranty. We both ride the same and do proper maintenance. Maybe other brands hold up better to lots of abuse and poor maintenance, but I will only buy polaris
I feel like the 850 should have been in place of the hd5
The new Artic Cat Alterra 600 is super peppy off the line! I test drove one at my local dealer, shop quad model SE, and it was pulling wheelies off the line! It's clutched really well and I'm used to Polaris and their clutching. The AC Alterra 600 would smoke a Polaris Sportsman 570 and I bet it would take the new Can-Am Outlander 700 as well! You should review the new Arctic Cat
Alterra 600, the LTD model is very sharp looking!
I would never, never, buy an Artic Shat lol
@@andrewsbbq I could care less what you would or wouldn't "buy".
@@dorothypeper1578 Artic Cat is a waste. Plenty of good options why go for bottom of the barrel
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nah the AC 600 isn't gonna smoke a Polaris 570. Basically same horsepower and stock sportsman will pull wheelies off the line also.
A 570 outty beats the sportsman 570 and the 700 is beck and neck with the 650 outty. No way the altera is beating the outty 700.
Number one you had the hd bumper, upgraded skid plates and a box on the grizzly which makes it heavier and had none of that on the outlander 700 so off the bat there is a different in power to weight. This remaking the bargain of all being the grizzly 700 for its power to weight and reliability, ive seen how reliable they are and it beats every other brand other than honda
Sould have use 1 can am single and a can am 1000 outlander or renegade
good video. a few opinions.. the tires on the grizzly arent very good in anything but mud, plus they add a ton of unsprung weight. i had two grizzlys, one se with those tires and a standard version with the regular tires. the one with the regular tires was noticeably peppier and grabbed better traction. i hope the rear box was empty lol. as far as quad lengths, technically the losing quads fronts should be right behind the winners rears, thats a length. im getting picky i know.
Good points. Agreed on the Grizzly's Zilla tires. In anything soft and squishy they do well, but hard packed trails/roads are not ideal for them.
And we only loaded the Grizzly's box with a few hundred pounds... I kid! It was empty of course. Might have added a little wind resistance, but it doesn't weigh much. Thanks for watching.
@@tkpowersports i figured haha! keep up the good work
I love and WANT high performance, BUT: Honda calls out to me; Hare vs Turtle; bulletproof mostly; I want both; cant afford both with repairs and broke parts cost; O.K. Honda
Griz xtr is geared down too
Tires and gearing on the grizzly kills the top end
The grizzly ain’t about winning races. It’ll cost far less to maintain and last forever compared to anything built by Canam or Polaris to be honest…. All good machines but the build quality from Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki, although not as fast, is superior to the others!
@@pajamatime5750 Yeah but the difference in price/performance is making up for that more and more.
Would be interesting if they raced the base model grizzly on regular smaller tires
@@JoshuaOverman And if they used the lighter DPS Can-Am 700 which is 150lbs less than the XT? The XTR is more than 60 lbs lighter than the xt as well. Can't change the fact that the Grizz is beaten here but racing doesn't mean shit.
I have zero interest in can am going to a single cylinder motor. The whole reason you get them is for that v twin power and sound. Would way rather have the old 570, 650, 850 or 1000r.
People buy Honda atv's for their stellar reliability. Honda atv's are used in more remote places than any brand of atv. Sort of like Toyota trucks that are used in remote areas of the world.
Not what they used to be and cost more no thanks.
Nice😂 but I’ve beat the Polaris 1000 on my can am outlander 1000
Where’s the Suzuki ? And also if the guy would have shifted the Honda he would have done better I would say it would be close to a tie.
Where’s Suzuki kingquad?!?
We keep asking for one. Suzuki Canada doesn't respond.
@@tkpowersports Oh no! ☹️ Well, thank you for trying.
Fast is the least of my concerns with a utility/trail style atv. I'll probably be team Honda for the rest of my life. Reliability is probably the most important thing to me, personally. I've got a 2001 500 Rubicon, and I'm just now getting it ready to do a top end rebuild. I believe that if the maintenance is performed the way it's supposed to and it's not ridden into the ground, it will outlast the rest. Yamaha would be my second pick.
I would agree Honda is the most reliable. But the performance and suspension are very subpar and that’s what keeps me away from them.
I pick honda first, but Yamaha is 2 miles up the road; Rubicon is me first choice; kodiak 450 is second and if i go 700; just give me Grizzly!
@@ClintL63I have owned the new Kodiak 450 and new rancher 420 both are great and bulletproof I can verify that. I’ve put about 2500-3k miles in each never a issue besides wheel bearings on the Honda no big deal.
@@ClintL63the Honda rancher goes 50mph the new rubicon goes 47mph the new Kodiak 450 goes 52mph
Where is the Suzuki 750?
Thats interesting - the old 570 outlander would *slowly* walk away from a Grizzly but lose off the line - this looks actually faster overall. I would wager a bet this bike is faster than the old 570 (which I have - trying not to be biased, here).
I had a 570 max xt and now have a 700 max xt, the 570 is faster all around.
My 2021 grizzly on a drag race or just riding you can't keep the front wheels down. Maybe yours needs a tune up..😅
A 90hp 4-WHEELER..🤷🏻🙄 my lord, what will consumers want next?
I think if you guys were to spend a day on the sportsman 1000, you'd take back most of the things you say are excessive. Yes, the machine is capable of wearing you out if you ride at the limits all day because as you stated, it has far more capability than any of the other machines you tested. I would challenge you, however to spend the day riding normally on one, like how you ride with family and friends. You'll start to notice that when you're not trying to be Ricky Bobby, you can cruise along at speeds that the small bore singles can barely achieve with 1/4 the engine noise, less effort, better ride quality and precise handling. This turns into riding literally hundreds of miles in a day, day after day while not being totally beat to death... you just need to spend some time on it to get past the honeymoon stage of all that power...
I agree that the sportsman is a great machine in regards to power and trail riding. I used to own an 850 However they are HEAVY. As an ATV mechanic, give me a Honda or Yamaha to work on any day if the week over a polaris. When something fails in a polaris, its usually HELL to fix it.. The Jap quads break down significantly less. 700cc is all you need for 90% of the applications
That honda shows that gear on gear puts down power where and when you need it on the bottom! For a work machine it would be Honda and Yamaha because of durability. The rest are junk.
Needed to compare the Kawasaki to the lot.
My family has had all of them, but polaris. I do agree that honda and yamaha are super reliable. I owned a little 1985 250 honda that never died untill my idiot friend blew the motor. But we have never had issues with can am. Polaris though. We had a lot of problems with their clutches
Yamaha will last forever and retain a high resale value.
I have 2007 kodiak 450 that i have killed for 16 years paid 8k brand new. Oild changes and regular maintenance and keep her clean and indoors she looks really good and probably could sell it a couple less than i paid for it...
Now put a Can Am renegade 1000 vs these and see who wins. pretty sure my 2012 800 ren xxt could beat that 700 outlander quit easly.
All that power and i still ride a 2000 Suzuki king quad 300 4x4 with maybe 15 horsepower 😂
Where's the Outlander 1000 ??? Smh
They should just test every single ATV out there and pack it all into a 15 minute video….what idiots.
No Rincon?
I own a Rincon and an Outlander 700… not even close.
They still make those things?
Nice fun impromptu comparison! Hey Honda get off your ass and make a 4x4 with power and suspension! I bet they would sell a few....
next drag race use the 520 manual shift or even the electric shift honda there faster
You’ll need that 2-3k for parts lol
Give me the Honda or Yamaha any day
And you will behind everyone, stuck, tired and returning back later than the girl on the CanAm.
Now get a 1000 can am
Pfft line that Polaris up with the outlander XT-P !!!
I never like buying things that are BUILT FOR A BUDGET. I would go Honda or Yamaha
Then you will behind everybody, more tired and beat up while paying more. No thanks.
Grizzly needs different tires and rear seat taken off i have a similar rear seat 30-40lbs extra sitting on the back
Yeah wasn’t really fair they should’ve raced the base model grizzly on smaller regular tires and without that seat.
nice but the Honda will still be going after 20 years . lol
No fun while paying more for a Honda.
I believe the 700 is the 650 v twin
Japan has gone down hill and used cheap parts now be careful!!
Well have you guys ever heard you get what you pay for Can-Am is cheaper than Honda because it's garbage I wouldn't buy one of those if they were the last ATV on the market or a Polaris they're both ugly and both garbage you pay more for the Honda but you're not buying the Honda to win drag races you're buying it for reliability durability and when you're going on a on the trail you don't want those other two big pieces of drunk you want a Honda would be really nimble on the trail and you know you're going to make it back home!!!
Your just butt hurt because you purchased an inferior machine and paid more for it. The CanAms are reliable, just look at all the long distance endurance races that they dominate in. Truth is you have to tell yourself that to justify you overpaid more and got less, it’s slower, doesn’t ride as good, less comfortable, not as much fun, has less working capability and your at the back of the pack.
Meaningless
Of course, but fun none-the-less. It was surprising to see how well the new Can-Am did though.
Yet here you are.
The only way that yellow Can-Am has a chance of beating the Yamaha Grizzly or the Honda as is if it came with a free mechanic other than that don't waste your money the reason why they priced them lower because after a couple years of ownership you bought the bike three times over Just in repairs and parts, that makes sense very hard to promote something that's cheap and that's garbage we are all smart enough to know you pay cheap you get cheap!!!!!!
So you’ve owned and ridden one of the brand new from the ground up 500/700’s?
Delusional brand loyal bot, tha Can Am is better in every way and possibly even in reliability when you consider ho well they do in Baja, gncc and desert racing. All for a better price is a no brainer.
@@firstoutlander well everybody has their right to their own opinion right Can-Am is garbage all you have to do is your research I actually know a few people that own them problems after problems absolutely junk but that's why we have so many different brands people like different things me number one on my list is reliability durability you'll never get that from a Can-Am or Polaris!!!!
@@truthnow902 What do you know you’ve probably never raced any GNCC, Baja or any grueling endurance race. You never see a Yamaha or Honda 4 wheeler in any of those finish because they break when pushed to the limit, we know from racing those. They break frames, steering components and yes engines. Under regular riding conditions they are okay if you want boring, I race to win or have the most thrills and sorry your toy can’t compete.
lol canam’s are pure junk
Pointless video
That honda maybe the lowest on HP but will still be running in 10yrs.
