just make sure you buy the one thats right for you and the type of riding/work you do.
any make is vulnerable to break down,especially if you ride/work hard.
AMEN!!!! Seat time will help you decide much better than listening to opinions. Good luck and let us know what you get.

Default YAMAHA GRIZZ 700 VS POLARIS SP800

I got some seat time on both machines today and I decided to get the Grizzly. The polaris felt like it had more power but fuel economy was worse and I felt like the Polaris was controlling me instead of me controlling it. I never felt that on a Polaris until I rode the Yamaha. I am going to wait until July so I can get the 08 Grizz cause I have never been a fan of buying first year models.
The power stearing is great, and their is plenty enough power in the Grizz. I am going to put some AMS swamp fox tires on cause I dont like the stock Yamaha tires. I will be catching alot of guff from my family and friends cause they are all hard core Polaris but they havnt rode the Grizz yet either. Let the conversion begin. Thanks for the input

You better hide the keys when you park it then, otherwise it may be borrowed a lot once they find out how it rides! If you can hold out until the '08 models that should be to your benefit even though it's a pretty solid machine already...

Ugh, cannot remember if i have my exact tenths right but:
After purchasing the quad from the shop the paperwork they gave me had my 650i listed at 47.8HP and my buddies 750 at 51.2. LOL so everyones got diff numbers but these are whats on the little piece of paper that kinda looks like a title.

The "little pieces of paper" that I have got for any of my quads never had the hp rating on them. Where are you look at on the paper?

Congratulations (figured I'd post it over here this time)! I'll bet they'll feel as rediculous as my Polaris-lovin' brother-in-law does.

So explain to me why someone else having a polaris bothers you? Or why having a kawasaki or honda or suzuki etc bothers you? To me, I am glad we all ride different machine. I really don't care if someone rides a honda or yamaha or polaris, because they didn't buy it with my money. The only time I care is when they start putting out false information about other quads and bashing people for their choice of quad. I am glad he picked the 700griz over the 800polaris b/c that was what HE WANTED, not what anyone else wanted.
