Last month, at the British International Motor Show, we were wowed by something very different - a hybrid between a motorbike and a sports car - the CanAm Spyder Roadster.

Now BRP - the company behind the CanAm brand name - has updated its range of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and invited Megawhat along to don a helmet and goggles, and see how fast we dared to go.

The new vehicles join the Outlander and Renegade ranges.

The Outlander 800R is a monster of a machine built around a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 800cc Rotax engine, which has now been boosted to give 9% more power for 2009.

This model comes in Max (two seater) and XT versions - the latter which adds cast aluminium rims, Carlisle ACT radial tyres and heavy duty front and rear bumpers.

The Renegade 800R EFI and EFI X also boast the newly calibrated engine but also an improved power pack.

If you fancy flying around the field yourself, you can test out the bikes at the CanAm Experience Centre in Hampshire.

A Half Day Quad Biking Experience is £150. Deets on the BRP website.
