Totally agree!He might have been talking about a mudpuddle.A Can-Am Rene would run up one side of him and down the other when he got in the way and not look like it's only half put together.

As to the OP my choice would be the Yamaha.Polaris has had a lot of little issues with the 850's.

I would look at the 750 Suzuki KQ, reliable and the best M.S.R.P price,might even have a little more power then the Grizzly but it sure would not have less. 722cc DOHC vs 686cc SOHC.

Haha.. I love you guys.. not really. I just don't like utilities. If I spend 8 g it had better be on a cummins. Now I've went through utility mud holes without getting stuck.. but I don't mess around and try to get stuck. And its those wranglers you get at tsc with the leather patch. So... id still druther have a quad to rev up and drop the clutch, or one that wont kill me if it turns over. Or one that wont leave you stranded... by a broken belt.

Not that im looking have a debate,but Ive seen a fair share of broken chains on sport bikes also. If never seen a broken belt,but i have seen worn out belts. I know they break but preventive maintenance goes a long way. Id also rather change a belt every 5,000 miles(which may take an hour),rather than have to put a new clutch in. Utilities have their place and so do sport quads. Most of us (friends) started out on sport,but ALL of us wizened up and bought farm tractors(utility).

Yep. I'm not all out crazy but I've seen banshees and other sports out climb artic cats and rubicons. I'm not much on rubber band toys.. hee hee.
ANYWAYY...
Yeah... how you maintain your stuff makes a world of differance. A lot.. I've lost my chain once.. had to buy new sprokets.. and could've cracked my case if it hadn't been for that $4 chain gaurd I bought. I ignored the loose chain... and it costed me...
