The new Yamaha Bruin priced at 3,999, is a great deal for a 350 automatic. If this thing has power and handles well, kudos to Yamaha!!!

there is some downside, I forget. I did look at the specs at one point. Is it really heavy for a 350? That could be it... The price isn't bad thats for sure.

I was dissapointed to see they are putting a drum brake on back, why not a disc? a scaled down Grizz frame would have been nice, IRS in a mid size quad like that would have been nice. A newer type motor should have been used, not the same old 348cc air cooled with an aux oil cooler. A four valve liquid cooled would have made that quad the mid size sport ute to have, and really would have given it the edge over a lot of the other new quads coming out. The pictures look like a Grizzly, same fenders and lights, just a little smaller, but as stated before,it is running a little heavy, like 540 or so. With the Wolverine running at 485, that makes it a bit on the heavy side for a 350 motor.

95Wolv, what you say is true. However if you make all those changes this bike would not come in at an MSRP of $3995. I think there goal was to offer an ATV in this price range.

Have a great 4th [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
