I have the 02' grizz and a sp500 I have test road the sp700 and I like my polaris but from what I can tell the grizz out performs the sp700 in all areas but bragging rights of owning a twin. the sp700 has that same polaris auto lag my sp500 had and trail boss has. If there were a clutch kit out for the sp700 I would be sure and check it out. the sp700 had a stiffer ride than my sp500 and still had that same push when tossed into hard turns. I liked it but what I liked best was the 700 twin and what it might sound like piped.
