Default Grizzly or King Quad

Help please, I have studied and researched and narrowed it down to the suzuki or yamaha. I am on the fence and can't decide between a 2015 limited edition King Quade 750 or a 2016 Grizzly 700. Any advice or insight for me would be awesome.

I don't think I could go wrong with either...what are you're experiences and opinions? Thanks

Are they new or used? If new.

since both bikes are even , but if the price is the same usually you take the LE to get special stuff like a winch and nicer rims and tires and color.
But according to this site ,if it's correct, I do not see any goodies on the KQ L.E. and it was only in 2014, when I switch it to 2015 it does not list a L.E version , just models with EPS.

2014 Suzuki KingQuadŽ 750AXi Limited Edition ATVs No winch standard 25" tires on steel plain rims, where's the Limited Edition part of it?

So they are new, 2016 grizzly with the black wheels and not a limited or special edition the dealer throws in a winch out the door price is $9400. The King Quad is also new dealer has one left it would be $8569 out the door and it is the limited edition model. here is the link below.

Power is about equal, sounds like the King Quad is the best deal. If they were both 2016 models, they would probably cost the same. The King Quad is probably less expensive because its a 2015 model and the dealer wants to get rid of older stock.

According to your link the only thing a KQ L.E has over a Base KQ is EPS, but that is enough, its a $1000 feature on a ATV that cost $1000 less. On the other hand a winch is also a $500 option.
I would get the KQ if it was my choice.

Never seen a Limited/ Special edition that did not give you a winch and have Billet Alloy rims.

Yeah the king quad limited edition is only a different paint option I believe everything else is the same as a regular power steering model.

The reason I wanted to find a 2015 king quad was because it is the last year of the handle bar light pod which I want. The 2016 Grizzly is their first year for the handle bar light pod so that is why I was considering the 2015 to the 2016, the 2015 KQ I can get for 8569 out the door and the Grizzly would be 9400 out the door with a warn winch included and a topped off gas tank.
about 1000 difference which I could buy a winch for a 1000 so not sure which route to go.

Winch are not $1000 My cousin bought a 3000lb warn and had it installed for $500 Canadian on his 2015 Honda Rubicon. Your dealer may be smoking crack if he told you $1000
EPS is almost a $1000 option.

Put it this way. You will use EPS 100% of the time and a winch maybe twice a season unless you are buying a snow plow for the ATV.

Here is a new warn 2500lb winch for $220 . http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Warn-RT25-ATV...3D361678531951 The mounting plates are cheap and easy to find.
Why the guy calls it a Suzuki winch is beyond me unless it comes with a mounting plate.

oh I know a winch isn't a 1000 I'm just saying I could get the King Quad for a 1000 less and the money i saved could buy me a winch easy and still have some left over. Both machines have eps it is a must for sure I love it. The issue is this, is the 2016 grizzly worth the extra 1000 over the 2015 king quad.

I think both machines are pretty evenly matched. They're basically the same size and weight even. The 4x4 and diff-lock are almost identical as well in their operation. The King Quad has slightly more power as it has a slight displacement advantage(722 vs 708cc actual) but its maybe 1 or 2 hp. In the end, its personal preference as to which one you get. But the King Quad being $1000 less would be the tie-breaker for me.
