I personnally like the 700 but you know there are always problems with first year machines.

I debated the same thing. A first year model of anything always makes me nervous, so I opted for the 660. It's a proven engine on a proven frame with no power steering. I want other folks to work out the bugs, not me.

OK so i know this is an Yamaha fourm so the response my be bias, but i currently own a 06 700 Raptor and i love it,,,BUT i am now looking for a 4X4, i will use if for mud and for my ol lady to ride until i move to northern idaho and its all woods up there, SO my question is which do u think is better the 07 700 CAT, or the 07 700 Grizzly, from what i have found, the top speed is about the same, the Cat should have better power on bottom end, and the suspension is better on the Cat, But the Grizzly has ELECTRIC POWER STEERING and ON COMMAND 4wheel,,,,what is youre all opinion,,,would love owners opinions

so you are happy with your 660?

I'm very happy with it. The only negative I can say is it could use more storage room. The ride and comfort is great, and it has all the power I will ever need. The quality, fit and finish on yamahas is excellent compared to some other brands I looked at. Reliability on the 660 is supposed to be very good also. I do not like to turn wrenches as much as years ago, so reliability was a big factor in what I purchased.

this is killin me , when i started this process it was 400 cc range then when i saw the 660 i was all over that 50 lbs more with lots more engine,but last week the dealer was really pushing me towards 700 almost to point of saying the 660 was no good, better profit margin i guess.

You get a 2 year factory waranty from yamaha... and you can buy 3 extra years for $350. So why not take the risk on the Grizzly 700 when you have 5 years of waranty to fix any problem that might arise? Plus you get the added features of the newly designed machine...

I couldn't be happier with my new 700...

The 700 engine was modified from an existing bike engine. It has been in use for about a year or so in the Raptor and I have heard of no common problems. From what I understand, even if the power steering does break down the quad will just steer like it never had it, so no worries there other than potential repair costs. I will say that running with a steering damper(and the power steering acts as one) is really nice. Yamaha has had a good history as of late with new model introductions. You may here of a few small Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word ling issues to be fixed, but nothing huge such as bad frames, axles, or grenading engines. The 660 is still a great quad, so let economics and your gut guide you. Have you ridden either? A good test ride may just solve your dilemma!

Ive had my 700 for close to a month now. I have 35 hours on it and couldnt be happier. The temp has dropped 45 degrees here on average and the efi has not coughed a bit. If you have the cash I recommend it. If you dont go with the carb setup. Either way you cant lose.
