Default Is the Grizzly 660 saver than 500ho

I just bought the girl friend an 04 grizzly it seems to handle pretty good . But I wonder if there's a
problem with them flipping over. My 500ho is 50" wide with mud lights and the Grizz is only about 44"
wide or less. should i be concerned with her safety. This is her third quad. I tried to talk her into a
sportsman 600 . That was a no go . I took the grizz out today and if you turn to sharp your on two
wheels . Any feed back would be appreciated thanks.

Give her the 500 HO to ride and you take the Grizzly. The Grizzly is an all around better machine than the 500 HO so you should be happy with it.

I'm sure someone else will ask you this so I might as well get it started, why do you have an SP500 and she have a Grizz660? Did she want to get something bigger than you had?

She dosen't like the looks of the sportsman's and I wanted her to have something that rode nicer
than her kodiak so I bought her the grizzly. She didn't need anything bigger just a smoother
ride.

Also hope your future is planned too dude, cause I can't see myself dropping 7K on a quad for just a girlfriend.

I have an 03' Grizzly. I really like it. Ya, if you go into a corner pretty hard and don't shift your weight it will tip. It does have a taller suspension than most (or all) utility atv's. Once she get's more familiar with how it handles she'll know her limits as well as the machines. It has a very comfortable ride and plenty of power. The weight is pretty much the same as your 500ho.
