Personally I which Can-Am would drop that whole SxS deal. I believe that ship has saled. In our area, there are not many SxS sold anyways, beside Ranchers and construction work. Our trails are such that in places it's hard to get a reg quad through, let along a SxS.

My local Can-Am/Yamaha Dealer told me today that this past year he only sold 60 grizzlies and 92 rhino's. Not sure that ship is ready for dry dock yet.

 

I feel there is still a market for the S x S, not as much as it was 2 years ago...but, still worth the effort to fill their line up...

 

Yeah maybe there still is a market for them?? It's just everyone and there dog sells SxS now a days and that's another reason I thought they could focus there efforts else were. I have always thought BRP "Follows No One"
Was talking to my dealer the other day (they sell a couple hundred quads/year, they own 4 dealerships in Manitoba) and he felt to same way as me. His comment was "We had 2 up machine, no need for a SxS" JMO

 

Down here..the S X S is still a big thing...for the casual trail rider and his family that want to just relax and also huge for farm work...

 

I disagree with the dired up market statement completly. If their is a market for these 7-11k quads and every company has 2-3 in its lineup, there will always be a market for the SXS. As long as they keep making them bigger and badder, People will always trade up and people who wanted one but could not afford it will always buy up the used ones.

I could see less ATV sells in the future if every company has a SXS. JMO Though.

I agree with that. For everytwenty guys whoguys who can not afford the very best/brand new/top of the line toy every year, there is one guy who can. Used atv's are still big business, and alot of them are in really good shape because the poor guy never got time to ride it.

I like the idea of a Can-Am Side X, but who can say where the economy will be in a year whenit comes out.

 

My dealer was at a BRPseminar in the US a few weeks ago. He told me that he has seen drawings of it. He claims it looks a bit like a hummer and that they allready have a contract with the US army for them.

Don't quote me on this one.

opps! Sorry!

 

Like a Hummer??? ... Now that's gonna be ugly..

 

A Hummer look I think would look cool. Also it would look less Canadian and more American. (Not that anything is wrong with looking Canadian.) Build it tough, fast, and not over 54" Wide. Let's Get it ON!

 

I'd like to see one myself, Here where i live, sxs are becoming more and more popular, especially among those that take the family out and may cannot afford 3-4 atv's. ( or they don't have the room for more than one atv/utv.

And now in Tennessee, they have passed a law stating that sxs are allowed to ride on public roads as long as they have turn signals, Windshields, and seatbelts. That would be nice to ride to work on a sxs every once in a while. ( heck if atvs were allowed, I'd ride least once a week, with road tires). MY suv compared to it gets worse mileage than my can-am.

Would prefer the sxs to be no bigger than 50" wide( as more and more trails are having that rule). Right now the only sxs on the market that fits the 50" rule is the Polaris RZR.

I wouldn't by the first year model either though. Wait a few years tilll they get all the bugs worked out of it.

 

I know what it will look like, what motor it has and a few other details....... Too bad can't say a word.

I seem to remember a certain guy on highlifter mentioning that it has 1000 CC's. Can't quite remember his name though. Maybe you know him? :tg:

 

It's all hear say...no one knows....until it comes out..

 

I believe Northern Bomb might have a little inside info. I would keep my tongue in chech too NB. Large Corporations do not take too kindly to somebody leaking the details until the get to roll it out in a spectactular way. And as long as they have been working on it, they may just have you shot. Or at a minimum, sue your pants off.

 

Someone was saying last spring that it was coming out this year...well...it didn't... I think its just a wait and see thing...:2cent:

 

Until the SxS and some other units show up, I see no reason to spend my time here. For what I doo, I haven't really viewed any important or life altering info here LOL. For most every question I have been asked, I have an answer without being on here 24 4 7 like before. At last, there is nothing has been nothing new here for long time. I have since lost interest posting..... for now. On the 1000cc thing, I have trust in my response on HL that soon again BRP will give rise to me being on here every second of every day LOL.
