Can Am DS 450??

[JPLB22]

Does anyone on here own a Can Am DS 450? Or been on one?



I already have a 2008 Can Am Renegade 800 that I have been very pleased with so far. Which makes me think I would probably be happy with a 2008 DS 450 as well. I'm just wondering about anyones opinion of the DS 450?



I've been doing a lot of riding in the sand lately, which the Renegade is a little on the heavy side for, it weighs about 600 lbs. dry. The DS being a sport bike is obviously much better suited for the sand, weighing about 350 lbs. dry. So I'd love to have the DS for the sand and keep the Renegade for the trails.



My other hold up is, that I want to get the trans done on the truck. I'm looking at $5K for the trans, or I could pick up a 2008 Can Am DS 450 for $4500. Which do you guys think would bring the most enjoyment?



TIA

Which one do you drive more? Putting in a performance trans in your truck will make it much more fun to drive while you save the money to get the DS 450 in the future. Just a thought.

It's true I would get more use out of the trans. Which is the only reason I'm considering it possibly before the sand bike. I'm about a 3 hr round trip to one of my favorite sand locations, and about a 9 hr round trip from my other favorite sand spot. So it definitely takes an entire day or entire weekend to get out on the sand. Decisions decisions decisions... .
