The board’s thoughts on Can-am
Posted on 7/14/23 at 7:27 am

Looking to purchase a new four wheeler soon. I’ve been looking into the Can-am Outlander 570 as Hondas have been hard to come by.
I’ll be using this for yard maintenance(leveling, spraying, etc) and some recreational use (trail riding, nothing extreme).
What’s the OB’s opinion on Can-am as a whole and specifically the Outlander 570?

Have only driven them a few times but never owned one so this is just my opinion. Great to drive with plenty of power. But for me, I Have two Honda atvs from 1998 and 2009. Both run as if they're brand new. The reliability of a honda is hard to beat, so I'll never switch.

I had a can am maverick 1000 that spontaneously burst into flames. I brought the completely burned and melted cage (all that was left) to a dealer and can am flew a guy down to investigate. Nothing came of it, but they did ultimately put some verbiage in the manual that said something like, if you ride in high water with debris in it, you should remove the plastics around the exhaust and clean it out. Apparently this situation has a bad habit of collecting floating sticks and leaves and impacting them around the exhaust that is right behind the seats. Once it dries and you heat up the exhaust, it will catch fire.
They did nothing for us other than say sorry and change the wording in the manual going forward.
Maybe that is on me, maybe not, but I won’t be buying another machine that has a standard practice of making you remove the seats and most of the plastics on a regular basis.

As a Honda owner x2, I would continue to look for a Honda, even a more recently used one. I selectively purchased two (2) used Hondas several years ago (2006 and 2017 models) and both simply run, only requiring bares bones maintenance, i.e., oil, filters, batteries, etc.

Look at the number of old Yamahas & Hondas still running like a top compared to old Can Ams.
That's enough for me to stick with the first 2.

I have a Can Am HD9 sxs and I love it. I was between that machine and the Honda Pioneer 1000. Same deal - always had Honda fourwheelers and they were always bulletproof. I was pretty set on the Pioneer until I drove the HD9. There really is no comparison with comfort/ride/general features of the machine compared to the Pioneer.
That being said, if I bought a fourwheeler, I'd buy a Honda.

This board is big fans of Kawasaki Mules....I have an FXT and we love it...no problems!

Give Suzuki a look. They’re just as reliable as Honda and would be perfect for your needs

After owning a Sea Doo I will never buy another Bombardier product

I bought a new Can Am Outlander 570 XT in 2017. Just sold it last summer because I just didn't get to ride it like I wanted. I would not hesitate buying another. The power is such a glaring difference compared to the Honda's.

I bought a Can-Am Outlander 1000R and I couldn’t imagine buying anything else. The smile it puts on people’s faces in sport mode

If I couldn’t buy a Honda, Yamaha would be my very close second.

My 96 300 runs like new. Never owned a can am but drove a buddies years back when like the 800 or 1000 (or whatever came out) and holy shite that thing was fast. I would imagine the upkeep is pricier on Can AM but what do I know.

Can Am and Polaris are high performance. They may last 10-20 years (especially after tuning, clutch kits, giant tires) whereas a Honda or Yamaha might last 40 years in stock condition. Honda and Yamaha and Kawasaki especially will be dogs compared to Can Am and Polaris.

I wouldn't own one that wasn't a Honda or Yamaha.

4-wheeler = Honda
SxS = Canam
SxS = Canam

Wouldn't buy and wouldn't even look into their pricing or reliability.
I'm not giving money to Mitt.
