I just put them against each other as I would consider them more similar with regards to towing/carrying capacity etc. Personally I would never consider the 450 can am as I think it sounds like a man stuck inside an oil drum with a mash hammer....
Is it fair to put the Honda Foreman and Suzuki Kingquad (500) against the Polaris or CanAm which are both 570? Honda is a full 94cc smaller IIRC. Closer in size to the CanAm 450...

I know what you're saying... but if you go from a Honda Foreman or Suzuki 500 to the CanAm 570 you will never go back, in terms of power. Only bike in that bracket with more guts is the Polaris 570, which eats the CanAm in every torque/pulling test the Americans have ever done with them.

I got a quote for a manual IRS the other day and it was £6300 a Suzuki was £6450 and Can am £6800. I didn't bother with Yamaha cos I'm not a fan!

The dealer has either pulled a cracking price for you, or Honda has changed its pricing since I looked as that would be good price for the manual with solid rear axle.


@Al R is a Honda man, had the new model Yammy 450 out. Said it's the better bike

Tbh myself and my neighbour got a price if we were taking two but it is a good price the next nearest one I've had is £7050. That's with putting better tires on from the start as well

Sounds a good deal! It's Honda you have at moment? If your happy with them, and that price, just keep going with them. Granted, it's the 420 I have but I have gone off Honda. Very reliable engines though, and probably the best warranty around.

Sorry none of this is really answering your poll :ROFLMAO: I haven't voted, because I honestly have no idea what my next bike will be

That 420 was what drove us from Honda, Can Am 450, the one with the guy inside beating an oil drum replaced it. Far better bike. Sorry I know nothing about 500cc plus bikes the 450 does it all for us
