I thought they where a little to much short suspesion,full time 3wd,drum brake Honda happy.

 

Yeah. Didn't you know ALL magazines are biased? They wanted the one Honda ad for "Stupid Hurts". Honda probably paid more for that one ad then all the multiple and multi page ads for Kawasaki, Polaris and Yamaha combined. (Sarcasm intended)

Sorry Tim1. It's nothing personal against you. I just get a little sick when people don't like the results of one publications opinion about a shootout. Remember they are only opinions. They mean nothing to anyone. Just ride what you like and have fun

 

Tim1,You already Know you be ridin the best they is.Dont pay them old magazines no mind.You know and I know even them Honda guys know that they dont get any better than that american made POLARIS.They just have a hard time admitting it.

 

I didn't find anything that was all that inaccurate. Owning a Grizzly myself I found a few things that were wrong. First was fuel efficiency, I can go up to 70 miles before I'm on reserve. I'm not sure that radar testing for speed is the right way to go. The should have had side by side drag racing to determine which one was actually the "fastest", in my opinion that would be more real world accurate. Lets face it, the Grizzly is starting to show its age compared to some of the other quads. I think is foundation is rock solid reliability, low maintenence, and power. They did mention that the Grizzly tended to light up the rear wheels too often in 2WD. I have found that to be true as well.

hell, thats one of the things i like best about my grizz.

 

bayougrizz,
I agree. I didn't mean for it to sound like I didn't like it, because I think its cool to just tap the throttle and light'em up! I was just saying that I agree with what they said about that aspect of the Grizzly.
