Can-am traxter HD8

[Jontym]

Anybody running one of these? Especially long term, had a new one on demo last year and liked it but now looking at a second hand machine from main dealer.
Don’t want to hear about the woes of gaters etc, or that I should buy a Suzuki jimney! ?
Thanks

Did you get one @Downton_shep , or did I dream it?

Have a 1000cc model here bloody good bikes. But they do know how to charge for repiars and maintenance. That’s over this side of the pond anyway.

We have an hd8 and have been really pleased with it. Tried most and the can am was the best for us. Well built, gives a good ride with list of practical storage. Would definitely have another.

I have one for 3yrs now and wouldn't be without it. Apart from services it hasn't been in the shop. I use it for spreading fertiliser (half tonne ground drive Cosmo), spraying (65gal sitting in back) and too much more to mention. Thought it was too expensive when buying but as I said previously I wouldn't be without it now.

Had one for 18 months now. Just over 18,000 miles. Still feels/looks great. Does 60+mph No major issues so far. Lots of advantages over a quad, only disadvantage would be can’t fit through the small bridal way gates.
