Homo wagon.Please talk me out of dropping $15k on a Can-Am X mr 1000 :|
If you got 15k to waste please don't spend it on a atv. Buy an awesome used one and save some money.
Fuck I didn't even know they cost that much
Because it is the king of the mud. Trail riding is a huge pass time down here and the 1000's with a small lift and good tires are king shit in the slop. People literally crowd around an impossible hole to watch someone with a 1000 X mr make the hole their bitch.
BRP has been on the verge of bankruptcy for about 10 years now.
How? A quick research of their fanacials shows a growing company over the last 5 years.
Because they don't know how to manage a business. It's easy to show good financials when the government gives you money everytime you lay some people off.
Ok, but will their money troubles hinder me in the mud? It's between this and a Rubicon. The Rubi just feels underpowered in the thick stuff.
Their money troubles will hinder you when they go tits up and you can't get parts for your bike anymore. As a Canadian I hope they get their shit together though.
But Can-Am is the top ATV seller currently. I would think if BRP went tits up, they could figure something out. I dunno though. Doomsday articles about them go back to 2004 and they seem to be the most popular right now.
@Hauler I'm looking at the Honda Rubicon's too. Nice bike, but felt underpowered for our environment with 28" tires.
I actually became a fan of Can-Am by watching a Canadian guy's YouTube channel and they were always out on the Outlanders and Renegades.
I've barely started looking. My buddy has a Honda Foreman 450. He bought it used. Dude was selling it because he couldn't get it running. Bought the 4x4 and a trailer for $1000. We bought some beers on the way home, cleaned the carb out and had that fucker running in under an hour.But Can-Am is the top ATV seller currently.

I will talk you out of nothing. Just buy it. Get a snow plow attachment if you live where it snows.Please talk me out of dropping $15k on a Can-Am X mr 1000 :|
do you soup them up after you get them?
I would expect so, but just wanted to ask.
what area/terrain is your "environment"?

I live in the swamps of south Louisiana. All of our ATV parks include an area that is simply just a huge swamp.
Dad has a RZR. Don't care much for it, though I do like PoPo's. My first one was a Sportsman 700 the year they did a Wetland Edition.
Personally, I wouldn't drop $15k on an ATV, but to each his own - that is a badass looking ATV!
I've been looking a dirt bikes a little bit, think I'll end up with one in the next couple of years. I have a buddy that has a 2-stroke Husqvarna that I like quite a bit. His has the recluse clutch. I didn't know they made nice motos until recently, but they're pretty sweet and very capable (much more than my abilities!)
Good luck searching, post some muddin' vids when you get one.

I've got enough dirt bikes haha. I posted a vid of us jumping a hill a while back. Realistically, I would hurt myself on a 1000. It's not from being a rookie rider, it would be from trying to see what that bastard has under the seat. The Renegade comes in a 570 that is $9k and would be enough due to the torque of the Rotax engine and light weight design of the bike itself.
