Well I walked into my local Yamaha dealer today and I didn't see it at first. I was just sitting there thinking, oh, they got another 2001 Grizzly. Then I said..."wait, those rims are too shiny, and thats a different looking front end" and then on the side it said 660! I was thinking, "how the he11 do they have one already??". Then I started talking to the guys and they said its the second one they have had, the first one was sold before they got it out of the crate. They told me about the test rides they did.. They were all impressed with the power and said it easly lifts the front tires up even when leaning forward, and it has tons of low end torque. Other than that they didn't want to beat on it and just brought it into the showroom, but I was looking at it and even being a hardcore sport ATVer I still think its pretty sweet. Anyone else seen them at a dealer yet?? The guys also said they wanted to call up another dealer that sells the new Prarie 650 and hook a chain up to the two and see who pulls who... Doubt that will happen though.

It was the tan one. I was there again today and they had just gotten another one in that was being picked up by a customer, it was the camo one. I saw them ride around on it a little bit, but nobody really got on it hard so I couldn't see how much power it had. However they were all commenting how well it seemed to turn, even on pavement. They guy that was riding it also owned a Foreman 450 and he said that it obviously seemed to have alot more power, and it handled/turned much better.
