the 450 has low range, 350 is cheeper and the ladies seem to really like them, the AC's have had alot of quality controle problem...lots of assembly problems and electrical junk after 100 hours. personally i would get the 350 IRS

i really didnt know about the A.C. having problems, I really would like her to have IRS and the auto trans, would the 350 griz keep up with a Rancher 420 or would it feel under powered compaired to the rancher, the rancher is what i ride

Honda Rancher 420. Water cooled and fuel injected...it's the best value for your money of any quad out there.....

the 350 would be fine, id also stay away from the 366. If the 350 is based off of the old worrior, now a raptor then you should have no worries with her keeping up.

ok, if your gonna spend $6 grand on a new grizz 350, im assuming, you would be better off buying the 420at, liquid cooled, IRS, more cc's, and auto! the grizz 350's are good, but would seem underpowered, mainly because of the CVT tranny- less because of the cc diffirence. if your gona buy a new wheeler, just spend the extra $500 and get the rancher

the bruin/grizz 350's where not really based on the warriors...but alot of people say that. they are top on the list for bullet-proof engines though!

I really like the 450 Grizzly, it has 4wd, diff lock, and is water cooled. Its really a great midsize quad. If you don't need all the features, go smaller, but having them sure makes a sticky situation alot easier.
