Should have mentioned, the Grizz I bought is a 2009 model. Lots of dealers around still have these in stock.
Hopefully get to pick it up tomorrow, actually getting a bit excited to try out my new unit. The Xpedition was very good to me but am looking forward to a bit more power.

Yep, I agree with Dodge. You're going from an original Datsun 1200 to a Nissan Maxima. The newer quads are so much better than the early ones.

After a bit more research as well as talking to a buddy that manages the service dept at a local marine/sled/atv/bike dealership (Suzuki and Arctic Cat), I have put the Griz back on the list, despite its higher price. He advised me to stick to the Jap bikes if I want to ride it, not have it sitting in the repair shop., and this from a guy that works where they sell both Yamaha and AC. Told me get a Yamaha or Suzuki. One of their mechanics was right there when I was discussing this and he strongly concurred.
So now its either a KingQuad 500 or Griz 550. Now if I could find a buyer for my Polaris.
I had it advertised for $4000 which I thought was a fair price but looks like I will have to lower it.
Your buddy at the service department is a "wise man"!

I see you got the Grizz... good choice. I have a King, and it is awesome. Both great machines.
