Default grizz or bf?

Curls,
The same thing happened to me. My wife claimed my Griz and I tried the BF but it just didn't feel right. I'm sure it would have been an awsome machine once I got used to it, but since I had no problems with the griz and it did everything I needed it to do plus, I bought another Griz. I couldn't be happier.
As soon as I get home I'll post some pics with the tracks on. I can't wait to hit the snowmobile trails this winter.

Default grizz or bf?

Both are great machines. I have had no problems what-so-ever with my BF750 and I ride through some nasty stuff on the deer lease........swamp bottom mud holes...etc. Here is my take:

Ground Clearance: Griz 11.8" vs BF 10.8".......advantage slightly to griz
Power: Hands down BF750........although the griz 660 has been a proven powerful machine.
Fast Handling: Toss up
Slow Handling: Toss up
Ride: Slight Edge to griz
Reliability: Toss up........although the griz has been around and proven itself

You can't go wrong with either.

Good comparison twinman. You're right, you won't be disapointed either way. I think the deciding factor comes down to what kind of deal you can get.

I see most of the BF owners have aftermarket tires. I've heard that makes the deciding factor on the handling. I just had a small test of the BF750 on a trail at the dealers and had a feeling of tipping on an off-camber. I just bought a Grizzly and took a very steep off-camber Saturday and didn't feel like I was going to tip. The ride on the Grizzly is like a Cadillac. I'm am unsure of the Bf's. The ultimate would be to put the Kawi motor with the Yamaha chassis and transmission. My Twin Peaks definetly packs more punch, so the BF will undoubtedly have an even greater hit.

If you were positive you wanted a Grizzly, for the same amount of money you can get a KingQuad with more power, better handling, better suspension, EFI, 3 independent headlights, sealed "clutch-type" rear disc brakes, etc.
