Can-Am
the Lion-Hearted
A lot has happened in the thirteen years
there have been Can-Am motorcycles,
The capture of Bonneville land speed
records, The 1-2-3 finish in the 1975
National 250 Motocross Championships,
Jimmy Ellis' incredible Supercross sweep
in 1976_ Can-Am's enviable collection of
ISOEgold,
And it goes on! With new ISDE gold
from Geoff Ballard, who also happens
to be one of three Can-Am mounted
National Hare Scrambles champions, With
NETRA and THPTRA titles, A 0-37 Overall
Desert Racing crown_ Three National
Enduro titles in Canada, As well as a Pro
Formula 2 road-racing championship,
At the heart of all these Can-Am
successes you find the same awesome
device, A Rotax engine, Rotax has the
ability, year after year, to extract amazing power from a given displacement,
That's why it's the engine of choice for
serious go-kart racers, n riders and
Formula 250
road racers around
the world,
But what is truly
amazing is that
Rotax achieves this
performance while
delivering a level of
reliability only
dreamt of by other
manufacturers,
This unique combination helps make Can-Am the ideal
privateer's bike: a powerplant whose out-
put has been carefully
shaped to deliver
maximum performance
for the competition
at hand, without the
frequent repairs and
rebuilds some engines
find necessary,
Other motorcycle
makers look with
envy at Rotax, Many
would like to own it.
Can-Am already does,
