Tired of waiting,bought a 2009 Razr Nuclear Sunset..........

mg: It's mutiny I tell ya, outlandisha popo, GOLODOOa popo, when's it gonna end........I guess when can-am releases a SxS.

 

My Can Am Dealer will have an 09 Nuclear Sunset POPO for sale when Can AM releases theirs AS long as it is 50" or close!

 

Gotta love that nuclear orange. My RZR will be for sale too when BRP finally comes around and yes, if it is a decent trail machine. Until then I am really liking the RZR

 

There are some cool aftermarket upgrades out there for the RZR.

 

I am going thru sticker shok again after looking thru the accessory bookmg:

 

just out of curiosity.. what is the real attraction to the SxS. why do you prefer sitting in it like a car, to riding on it like a bike?
I am not bashing SxS's I just am curious as to why people are switching to them.. is there an advantage that I don't see? I've never ridden one so I am genuinly asking.

Maybe some of them are OFM. Trust me the RZR is not! Ride one sometime!!

In my case it is a physical thing. Arthritic hand and wrist are kinda putting the kabosh on thumb throttling.

BUT Its great to ride with a partner along side you instead of behind you banging helmets all day. I would be totally bored with the standard SxS's but the sport models (RZR) kick ass.

I bought my Polaris only because I was tired of waiting for the Can-Am SxS. When it does come around, I am sure it will be a sport model too and I may then trade up if it is trail rideable, meaning around 50-52 inches wide.

 

I have the same need to carry 2,niece's & nephew's as well as street legalizing it for travel around my rural farm community and property up north.I to WILL jump to Can Am SXS IF IT IS TRAILABLE!

Oh, believe me I'm there on my next vehicle, allthough I love the Outy, thisold farthas a few "senior issues" also. By then the can-am SxS will have been out a few years and the "new model bugs" will be worked out, hopefully , if not it's the RZR.

 

I admit.. the RZR looks amazing. It is by far the kickassest of trail cars. for me, I like sitting higher. and feeling the handlebars in my hands and that feeling of riding.. standing at times etc.. vs sitting. but I can see for thouse with bad knees, or hand/hands like was mentioned why they would be more comfortable, and thus have a more enjoyable ride in the SxS.

for thouse wondering "if" the Can-am will be trailable... the answer is.. OF COURSE IT WILL. their SxS is going to live up to the "R" in BRP it won;t be your grampa's farm SxS its going to be a sport/trail car, built mainly with recreation in mind.

 

I was at my dealer last nite talking about Can Am SXS.They MAY get info at the August dealer meeting.Does anyone know if there is a watercraft dealer show in Aug. & if so when/where?? This may be where they drop the Bomb(ardier). :ban:

 

I just saw on dirtrax tv a show about the 09 can am's and one of the guys from BRP said they have the first prototype done and in testing right now and all he could say is that it is deff. all can am. I have no doughts that it will be better than the RZR in every way which is gonna be real hard to do, cuz the RZR is bad arce.
I also herd from one of the can am reps and he was telling me there may be 3 different motors offered for it. one is the 800r, 2nd is a version of the 990, and not for the weak hearted a 1200 triple. Also it will be a cross between baja and a trophie truck.
Eather way I just wanna see it and ride it for myself.

I will ask my dealer for any updated information he can pass on.Is there ANY newnews out there about Can Am & a S X S ??

Saw thisthe other day when watching a video of the 09 model intros.

Chaz Rice, Media Relations, Can Am.

In the next few years, you are going to be extremely excited about the product lineup. This is only the tip of the iceberg. José Boisjoli (BRP's President and CEO) confirmed that we will be delivering a new SXS in 2010. That's something that we are extremely excited about. We've tested our first prototype and I can tell you, it is a Can Am!

 

Sign me up for the 1200cc version.

well, now that we know for sure a sxs is coming, do any of us think that can am will ship it with turn signals, horn, and dot tires. I'd love to see a utv that is street legal from the factory.

This is the Dirttrax TV Episode where they talked about the S x S

 

Best part is, numbnuts with his finger on the gastank outlet.:lolol::lolol:

 

Yep...that' was purdy sharp..

 

no doubt man, i know several people i would send yer way if ya had them!

BRP should get in gear and deliver products that can be sold everywhere, which is contrary to the Spyder!

Check this site out teamjoynerusa.com

Looks like some neat machines they have there! Check out the rear trailing arms on the 1100cc Trooper T2! WOW! nice eh? Hope can-am gets their heads out of their a$$es soon and builds a UTV!

 

Joyners are cool, but way too wide(64") for most "organized trails".

 

I see they have narrower units, but none that I can tell that have rear trailing arms.

 

There used to ba a Joyner dealer in my town, I checked out the ones that he had in stock, they are well made and look to be a bargain at the prices that he had listed.

They don't have a "finished" look like our quads do tho.
