You really cant compare the optioned to the hilt 450 Kodiak to the Bruin. But the 400 Kodiak's do not have alot over the Bruin also the bruin uses the 348cc motor which has proved itself reliable for the last 15 years.

My still going strong 1989 348cc Big Bear 4x4 has maybe a zillion hard miles on it and it,s oil cooler is half the size of the bruin,s and it had no fan assist like the Bruin's does. I wanted to run the Big Bear to the ground before getting another ATV but I just could not wait that long.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
