So;

Time to upgrade!

SO MANY DIFFERENT REVIEWS ON THE NET

So I thought I would ask my question here

Which machine would you buy, and why???

OR

Do you already own one of these machines and would you reccomend or not???

2010 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI EPS
2010 Can Am Outlander 800 XT
2010 Polairs 850 XP EPS
2010 Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 LE

I have a 2003 Yamaha Kodiak, and with 4700km, I have not had to repalce a single thing on it, it has never given me an troubles whatsoever...So I am leaning GRIZZLY, but I want to hear some opinions, or some personal experiences with these machines to help me make up my mind

 

I have no real experience with any of these machines. I did some research and it seems to me that the Grizzly 700 would be the best machine. It's lighter. less expensive, still has enough power and it's a Yamaha.

 

I would suggest the Grizzly as well...its tried and true.

And its one big ****...

 

bump

 

I agree with the others, the grizzley is the best choice. I have talked to a guy who has driven the grizzley. I'm not sure if the one you are looking has power steering but the one my buddy drove had it and he said it was great. The power steering is a great feature, and vould help on long rides, but I would reccomend being careful with it. My buddy that drove one said that you could turn it with your pinky.

 

I called a few dealers on Friday

I can get a 2010 Outlander 800XT for $11,500can + taxes

And the best quote I got on a 2010 Grizzly so far was also $11,500

I am waiting to hear back from 2 other CAN AM dealers and 2 other Yamaha dealers

But if I can get a 2010 Outty for the same price as a Grizz, I think I may go with the CAN AM???

And doesnt the CAN AM have 3 year warranty???

Just because I am getting more for the same price (ie more power, 3000lbs winch etc)

Keep those comments coming!!!

Thanks to everyone who responded

 

I have also crossed the Polaris 850 and the Thundercat 1000 off my list due to weight, price and reliability issues!

 

Friend of mine had a Grizzly and went through 4 axles in a year.... You have to pay to play but that Grizzly just couldn't stand up to any fun!

 

Did he ride through a ton of mud?

 

umm yea she put the thing through mud, honestly it was still a strong machine, just the axles were a pain...
