Wow, that is a tidy example of a Can Am Sonic. I love my Sonic and it would probably be one of the last bikes that I would ever consider parting with. But I would have to disagree with his comment, that it would dominate the AHRMA 500 4 stroke class, as I think that an '83/4 Husky TC500 would outclass it with power, lightweight, suspension and handling.

Mark have you also got a TE/TC510 Husky? I would think the Husky would be way better for MX.

Yes, I do have actually  ;D. But like a lot of my stuff, I just have to get around to putting it back together  :-[. The Sonic goes and is good fun to ride, but like you say, no match for a 510 Husky at MX.

Sonic 500 simply a wizard of a machine! Powered by the 99% perfect matching Rotax engine ;) .( Loses 1% for that nasty habit of shearing kickstart shafts..) ::)

Some, but well   Fail....Don't get me wrong I have a great liking to Rotax engines . Both four and two stroke.
