Had a brief spin on road on Johnnys Renegade today, great quad, turbine smooth and powerful, the only downer was that the ride was only 400 yards long :(
Impressive machines

The RRP on the Renegade at present is £9999.00 inc vat OTR.
For another £1200 you could have two raptor 700,s on the road,
Ok, the renegade owns in the muddy stuff but lacks the chuckability of the raptor in the dryer conditions and would dread to think of the damage if you rolled the renegade.
The raptor on tarmac is faster by as much as 20mph but the renegade is a more sedate ride.
Tough choice which to have (ignoring price). ?
what puts me off is all the electronics on it,fine whilst within warranty but after that ???
I think can-am have you by the short and curlys there.

On the price front ..i've being doing some shopping around on prices for 2007 model Outlanders and Rennegaedes (great time to buy last years models right now)......and you can get for MUCH less than £10k once you start bartering. I guess if you only wanted the 2008 model than maybe not so much discount available, but personally a 2007 doesnt bother me if I can save chunk of dosh.

if i had the money the only bike i would buy from can-am is the ds650, fast light nimble, brilliant on and off road and can handle a moto x track.:cool:

Have only been to Southern ATV once and they didn't have any oil in for my bike so I started to use Adrenalin ATV mail order but I have only heard good things about them, nothing bad.
It's virtually next door to Four Marks off road course and lots of good byeways so you could have fun taking it and bringing it back from whatever you were doing there.

Its always good to hear of local dealers, I did not know of them .
Regarding the Renegade, I have ridden many miles with Yellow peril and have always thought it is an extremely capable quad, power to spare, fantastic traction, at Toms Farm he got through very deep water and stuff that did not look rideable, it will tow practically anything out of trouble with ease, if you have the money and want one then why not ?

Southern ATV in Four Marks are ok, the sell quite a few quads there and do a good service with your quad, there is another Can-Am dealer which is at Eversley Cross Nr Yatley, Russell Powerboats 01252 877337 they sell a few quads give them a phone as they will give a fair deal on a quad, Outlander knows of them, that's where he got his from and where I got my Renegade from.

Thanks for the input guys.

I'm speaking to Russel Powerboats also but at the moment thay are way more expensive than Southern ATV.
