I thought I'd post a poll to see what some of you guys would do if you were in the market for a 750 - 800 class Utility ATV.

No I'm not listing Yamaha. Why? They don't have a 750 - 800 class ATV and they're too expensive. Simple as that. (And they always win every poll. 8))

So feel free to cast a vote and express your hearts desire.

Well folks. I went to the closest Can-Am dealership and low and behold they have a test track. Now I didn't get to drive a brand new outy, but they gave me a controlled ride on a demo outy 800r. Basically, a fella drove around in front of me to "control" the ride and demo the capabilities of the quad.

I have briefly tested an 08 GadeX 800 so I was aware of the raw power beneath the seat, but I was completely new to the outy. This machine just felt right to me. I was extremely comfortable. The engine braking was incredible, the handling was comfy, the power, well...you don't have to yank on the bars AT ALL to get the front end up. Just like its sporty counterpart, the Renegade, the outy boast a very sporty pep but the outy has enough rack space to call it a utility.

I think I'm sold. Now I just have to sell my wife on the transaction. :confused1:

I love those renegades! The Outtys don't really do anything for me. But the gades are sweet! A Gade X would be perfect for me. The frame is the only thing that scares me.

Yes, I agree Mack, the GadeX is one bad machine. Its looks are stellar and its performance is wicked. I can see you on one. lol

However, I'm going to defend the outy's looks a bit. I don't see how anyone (except an sport rider) would say they "don't do anything for them". The new 09's have redone the front plastics a tad and put a new decal scheme (which is reportedly beefier). Check em out. Red, just for you.

I am trying to get my hands on the camo version. (I found one last night in PA) If I can get the logistics to work out, I may end up with a outy. Don't flame me. :violent5:
