A friend of mine just bought one and it looks like a great bike. If anyone has one my friend would like to know how you like it. And anything you don't like about it. Thanks Tim

The one thing I like about it, is that it has balls galore, it really moves.

The ride is nice and comfortable, I can go for hours with out getting tired.

Serviceability is great, everything is accessible.

I don't like the black skirts around the fenders, cause they stick out to far, they keep you dry, but they catch on everything.

A 2WD/4WD switch ( on Quadrunner) would be a real nice feature.

Five gears is'nt enough, six would help increase top end.

After 400 miles, I'm very happy with the machine, and I'm glad I bought it

grizzlytime,

I looked at the Suzuki 500 before I bought my Grizzly. A good friend and frequent riding companion has a 2000 manual shift. His will go about 56 mph, usually plenty. Of all the machines that are in our riding group I'd say the Suzuki has the best sounding motor. He flipped his end over end twice down a creek bank with only 50 miles on it. We turned it over, fired it up and he drove up the other side. The flip happened because he went down in first gear. With full-time 4wd and powerful engine brake, it went straight over.

Only problem I have seen is lack of ground clearance. Almost everytime we go riding, he gets stuck where a Polaris and my Grizzly go because it gets hung up on its belly in the ruts.

Overall I thinks it's a great machine from what I see as fellow rider.
