Default GRIZZLY or SP700

I know its a long way away but Im thinkin about it anyway and I thought I would ask everybodies opinion.

In the Spring I will be gettin another quad. My fiance has taken quite a liking to the atv sport and shes really good at it so Im gonna either give her my modded up SP500 or get rid of it and get her a Kodiak 450. In the process of doing all this I will be gettin a new ride also. I have been riding my buddies quads and love them both. An 04 SP700 and an 04 GRIZZ 660. I cant decide between the two. They are both fast, powerful and great handling. I know the GRIZZ has the front diff lock but I have bever been anywhere on either one that I cant get out of on the other. The both have great tranny's, great 4wd set up, look good, have more than enough ground clearance, power, speed.............. Right now I think I will just buy which ever one I can get the better deal on. What do you think?

I see you have a 96 Sportsman 500 H.O. ..Do you know what size stock tires come on that 4x4? I need to order tires for a friend of mine that has one.

Thanks

The griz is agile and light on the trails. It really feels like a sport quad and is highly modifiable. There is a power house hiding in the tame stock engine.

Yamahamike- The stock tire sizes are 25x7x12 fronts and 25x11x10 rears. I still have my stock set, if he wants to pay the shipping I will give them to your buddy. There not in the greatest condition, but the hold air

As for the quad decision, I still havent decided. Both are HIGHLY modifiable. Theres lots of performance parts for both. I am leaning more toward the GRIZZ just because I have had better luck in the past with 3 Yamaha's than I have had with this one Polaris. But, this polaris is the only one I have modded which has caused some of my problems, I am still undecided
