I tell you what I am a Yamaha fan, If I needed more big grunt utility than my old 85 Moto 4 250 yamaha fan I would buy the Grizzly 660 with a sra. I dont like to ride the new IRS models they feel too top heavy for me.

I like having a little sportier quad and 4x4 though so when I bought my first new quad ever I picked up a Yamaha Wolverine 450 4x4.

I absolutely love it and I weigh 220 and am 6'1". I paid 5250 OTD but you could get a used one for a little cheaper. They have a couple of new racks coming out soon for it that will help it have a little more utility.

Hope you enjoy whatever you get.

 

if i was in your position i would get the Grizz 660, its not too bad of a price and its a hell of a bike !!

 

Thanks for all the help, I believe I've made up my mind. I've been test driving a few this weekend...

'03 Vinson and '04 Grizzly - both drove fine but had a lot of scratches, the rubber around levers and button was ripped or missing, some plastic cracks, paint on racks had been rubbed and showing rust. Overall they just looked liked they'd been through the ringer and the owner as much as said so. Probably could have gotten either of these cheap but I wanted something that appeared to have been taken care of better and hopefully more reliable.

'04 Honda Rincon - ran great, body in good shape just a few scratches. No extras but it was priced well above NADA and owner wouldn't negotiate.

'03 Rincon - basically same story as the '04, different owner.

And the winner is...
'04 Suzuki Twin Peaks 700, drove great, full set of aftermarket skid plates, new tires (takes offs from his new quad), overall great condition. Priced right and he came off $200. Should be picking this one up tomorrow.

 

Hey thats great. You found something that your happy with and thats all that matters. Now get out there and ride the crap out of it.
