Dont get me wrong because i like yamaha and all and im not trying to diss them but they need more manual shift utility bikes!!! if they made a kodiak 450 manual shift i think i would definatly be looking into getting one or already have had one.... the only manual shift utility they have is the wolverine besides the little 125 grizzly, the beartracker, and the breeze..

 

no one agrees?

 

You forgot the BigBear, which fits into the category you are referring to.

 

It would be nice if they followed suit with suzuki and offered a 5-speed model AND an auto of their eiger and vinson, but i doubt thats gonna happen.

 

The grizzly 125 is not a manual shift. It is a varaible speed belt driven quad. I like the auto for the type of riding that I do. In the deep nud you can't beat a belt drive. The reason being is that you are always in the right gear for the bikes momentum with the proper revs and you always have a continous amount of power where you wouldn't when you shift gears with a manual. Just out of curiosity AINTNOSTOPPINME why do you think they need more manual shift utes.

 

i just like to keep my foot busy when im riding [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
