Engineered by Can-Am for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2009 Can-Am Outlander 650 relies on a 649.6 cc (39.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 82.0 x 62.0 mm (3.2 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the Outlander 650 measures 299.4 kg (660 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 876 mm (34.5 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
