I just checked it was the Kodiak 400 4x4 in 2006 that I was comparing...So the Yamaha 450 was not out then!!.................But the 2006 Kodiak 400 4x4 I was looking at in the same price range had front disc and rear drum brakes.........It was only 576 pounds the 2006 Polaris 450 sportsman was listed at 715 pounds..............I just needed to clear that up as back in 2996 I did not have the Yamaha Grizz 450 to choose!!!............Caper......

 

The 450 had all disk brakes since it first came out in 2003. 03 450 specs

 

it was the 2006 Kodiak 400 that was in the same price range as the 2006 Polaris 450 here in Canada....................The 2006 Yamaha 450 was priced WAY TOO high here in my area did not even come close along with the Honda's.............Remember, I was getting total price out the door on two brand new 2006 Quads.........So $900.00 more per Quad was $1800.00 more plus the taxes.........Caper.......

 

I know what you mean about Canadian prices. My friend bought a left over 07 500 Foreman for $8500 out the door. A Honda flag ship 680 Rincon sell for $4600 "New" on ebay.

We just got a flyer in the paper were our polaris dealer is selling the SP500 for $8000+14%=$9100 OTD. LOL There going for $4200 in the States.
