Some guy thought that he would be smart and question the statement that the H.O. is faster than the Grizzley and has more power. Even Atv action says that the H.O. has more power.
So who agrees with me?

I agree with you. I would link you to another site with this discussion going on between myself and another member, but think this would be moderated and deleted. I will tell you though it is under "Kawasaki" in the other sites forum.

Yea polarisman3210 im tha guy who questioned it. And I bet that that HO will outrun a GRizzly 600 just like your Magnum 325 will outrun a Big Bear 350 (RIGHT). I think the Grizz has more power but they are exactly equal in speed. Now tell me which issue of 4-wheel ATV action says that.

Thats nothing some ATV magazine just did a shootout and it put the Grizzly third in acceleration behind the SP500 HO and Rubicon (I think it was ATV Action).I just read to many other Magazines the say the the Grizzly is the king in power and pick up for utilities to believe it.I wish all these mags could get there story straight.

the sportsman has more mid and top-end power. the grizzly has more low end power, at least thats what dirtwheels said in the March 2001 edition. they said the sportsman was slightly faster. The SP far better suspension. the SP was also more comfortable to drive on all day long. it was rated better in 6 out of 8 areas.

i have a grizz, and when i went for a long ride with 6 sportsmans i thought i would just kick there butts(pre HO) on a long straight road i started coming up to them , they pulled over and said they would catch up, well i had a heck of time just going by them, i must not have been more than just a couple of mph faster than them so i wouldnt care to take on a 500HO, this was before it was all broken in but i thought the 100cc and less weight would kill the sportsman

Yamahagye and swen,

You guys are like music to my ears. I know this sounds corny. I have recently been dealing with a very, very, hard headed, oblivous Grizzly owner in the "Kawasaki" forum at the time. He has really got me frustrated. I am happy to be able to reasure my first believes, that not all Grizzly owners are like him. It's nice to know that if something bugs me somewheres else, I can come here and collect my cool, or vice versa.
