thank you both for your feedback/I didnt buy today/test rode both today for 1 st time grizz fast and seems very powerful in low 4x4/ couldnt get down on p600 {parking lot test ride} which is best in reliability? Both dealers want the sale so they are "both the best" . 7k is a big investment to me and by no means im not a wealthy person/ this atv must last me at least 5 yrs.any more feedback is very much appreciated/johnny/3sixty/93 kodiak lasted 10 years b4 complete overhaul/not for sale/soon to be wifes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

If its going to be a new quad then get a 700 they dont make the 650 anymore.You would have to get an 03 to get a 650 prairie But it would be right behind the 700 prairie

One thing I don't like about my brothers grizz is how light the frame is, especially the front guard. And his boils the gas if the side guards are on but that shouldn't be a problem with a new one. If you can't stand to be out- performed (or top bragging rights) than you better go for a 650 or a 700, why by a 600 when there is bigger out there for not much more?

i'd put the sportsman 700 above the kawasaki. there are several around here that have switched and love the sportsman. one of the members got a good deal on a kawasaki 700 and after only two months he is looking to trade back to a sportsman 700. just about all the riding around here in mud so maybe the sportsman performs better in it than the kawasaki and might be why evryone around here is switching? i haven't had any problem out of mine but it's still stock and i haven't got it in the really nasty stuff yet. i got a very good deal on mine, a theft recovery with very minor damage, thats why i bought the sportsman. between the two you named i would go with the grizzly.
