Sold my 04 Grizzly today and have already put the money down for the new one. Not sure what the price will be but wiil have the quad in 2 weeks.

 

Way to go Sparky. I decided not to wait either. I do not see how any other machine can be anywhere close to the new Griz considering Yamaha reliability, features, weight, handling, enough power, etc. The next best allarounder is probably the King Quad that did not change for 07 or the Bomb 650/800 but I could not get past the linked brake controls.

 

Ok now. Lets not fall into the outty owner perspective. My quad is the best in every category than anyone elses. NOT TRUE.

 

I wrote that article at ATVScene and I assure you, Yamaha bought nothing. It works. I have a long term tester coming my way very soon, so make sure you check back.

 

You are wrong Hoopie, go read my article at ATVScene.com

 

I totally agree. The new Grizzly is the best at everything but power.

 

Grizzly has power steering, Polaris has most comfoetable ride, AC has best ground clearance ect......... Nobodys is better than the others, they all have something for someones preference

 

Bomb has the best power, Kawi and the best rear brake ect

 

Absolutley!

 

Just because they last longer doesn't make them the best. I would take a shorter stopping distance anyday over longevity. I would bet the farm that the Grizzly with the 4 wheel disc brake system is way more efficient than the kawi internal brakes at stopping distance. That is why some of the big bears got the internal brakes and the Grizzly didn't. They just aren't as capable as a 4 wheel disc at stopping. One more plus for the GRizzly.
