Yeah I think Yamaha just gave up on trying to come up with some original names. It is lame that they are now mostly all called Raptors and Grizzlies. I think they should have kept some of the old names like Warrior instead of calling it the Raptor 350 and should have kept the Blaster name and so on........It sucks now when you say "I have a Raptor" or "I have a Grizzly" you have to specify exactly which size you have. Before now if you said "I have a Banshee" or "I have a Badger" everybody knew exactly what you were referring to.

I thought they changed it all to the Grizzly (auto utes) for the name recognition. That way your kid can have the same atv as 'Dad'.

The parts should still be available, for example the 04-06 Bruin 350 4x4 is the same as the 07-08 Grizzly 350. They did however make another version w/ IRS. But parts should be avaialbe for quite some time I would imagine.

Seems that the Big Bear is the name for the semi-clutch foot shift ( replacing the more current names of Bruin/Timberwolf )
Grizzly for the AUTO utility (replacing the more current Bruin, Kodiak)
Raptor for the 2wd Sport ...nothing to replace really here since in the USA the blaster is no longer made, but you still have the YFZ.
Wolverine remains the same in the hybrid section.
