| Specially outfitted CanAm's were
used by the British Army for about 10 years beginning in the early 70's. The Canadian
government also used CanAm's, and I've been told that the Belgian Army is still using them.
However all photos in this section are from Paul Wilkinson's (U.K.) British
military collection. Restoring and collecting these military machines is growing in
popularity among CanAm enthusiasts |

rotary valve short stroke 250cc engine. This setup delivers smooth power and is incredibly

The U.K. military
police CanAm's can be identified by their special red color scheme.
(Special thanks to Miles Davis U.K.
for solving the "red bike" mystery). |
