This rest of your arguement just proves you have no experience with a Can Am and are chasing ghosts.

Chasing ghosts? Whatever you say Cardiac. The rest of my argument is based on fact. I stated the hp issue was "speculation", and the speculation is that Can-Am manipulates hp #'s in order to claim the "highest hp in the industry", they probably wouldn't be the first manufacturer that did it. The Grizzly with EPS has plenty of feel through the bars at higher speeds. Dry weights are published on manufacturer websites. It is common knowledge and fact that Can-Am has a weak frame that is easily subject to denting and buckling upon impact, a frame mod and aftermarket skids are mandatory. All manufacturers have their pros and cons, I like Can-Am and own other BRP products, but won't buy Can-Am as dealers in my area don't budge much from from MSRP and are too expensive. Combined with the fact that you'll need to spend more to strenghthen the frame because the manufacturer won't? A very strange thing that wouldn't have to be done with any other manufacturer. 2010 Can-Ams have gone up $1200 here, I could easily get a 850XP with PS for $2500 less, a machine every bit as good and powerful as the Can-Am 800... a matter of principle to me, but each to their own.
