Yamaha Grizzly 350

That's the only other 4x4 I could find with SRA.

 

I believe they switched to an IRS but I may be mistaken.

 

The foreman 500 is still SRA, I think kawi still makes the brute 650 SRA in Canada

 

Looks like your right. Honda calls one a "Foreman" with a SRA and the call the IRS a "Foreman/Rubicon" now. That's F$^ up.

2015 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI Auto. 4x4 EPS ATVs

If this site is Right Yamaha (2015) only makes a 700 Grizzly now?

Some ATVs came in both IRS and SRA like the 350 Grizzly and 420 Rancher.

But for sure there are only 3 SRA 4x4 made now, 400KQ, 420 Rancher and 500 Foreman. (Not to be mistaken for a Foreman-Rubicon).

Point being a 4x4 SRA is getting as rare as a Italian war Hero or 5 speed Non CVT 4x4.

 

Yamaha's web site still lists the 350, 450, and 550 Grizzlies along with the 700. I don't see why they need the 450. Three sizes should be enough.

 

Yeah if you want a non cvt 4x4, Honda is the only one left. Yamaha quit making the Big Bear. Suzuki used to make the Vinson in both a cvt automatic and semi-auto 5 speed version. At one time it was the fastest 500cc machine out there. Arctic cat used to make a semi-auto 500 with the same engine as the Vinson but with irs.

 

They need to stop catering to soccer moms and offer a SRA option in their line up. But I still nag GM to bring back the SFA in the trucks too.

 

I never cared for the IFS in trucks. SFA is the only way for me to go.

 

They build what sells. I do wish Kawasaki still made the 650 Brute with the SRA though, i think it would still sell. Maybe make a 500cc version as well that costs less but still makes good power. I think Kawasaki could greatly improve sales if they didn't ignore the 500cc utility class. Everyone else makes one, why they choose not to makes no sense to me.

 

Kawasaki is even worst now they do not even offer the 366 anymore.
They have a BF 300 which is actually a 371cc that's borderline false advertising since its closer to a 250 if your going to round of numbers.

The next step up is a 750, there is nothing in between.
The Mid bore market is the highest seller and they do not even offer one.

The good news is the BF750 is actually a 749cc so no fibbing is going on there.
