Just picked up my new wetlands camo Grizzly two days ago. Awesome! It was a real hard decision to make as I also have 00 Kodiak that has been a great machine and it was hard to justify spending $6750 on a Griz when I already had a hell of a machine that met all of my wheeler needs. After 20 minutes on the Grizz I realized I had needs (or wants) I never knew.The ride and power is just great. After riding for a few hours I switched machines with my dad who also has a Kodiak(01) and really could tell the difference. The Kodiak is more nimble and it seems I can almost throw it around in the woods. The *** end is alot easier to slide around.When power is applied to the Grizz it seems to just squat and grip the ground and haul butt. I also let my buddy who has a Rancher ride it for a bit and when he got off he called me a #@%$ and a @*&^!@# and said thanks alot you $%#@*& now I have to go get one and I can't really afford it but I gotta have one. I guess I did'nt really need one but am sure glad I finally did. They are both excellent machines ( Grizzly and Kodiak) and I can't really say one is better then the other but I do know when my dad or son,who inherited the Kodiak, want to switch machines for a bit with me they will have to pry my fingers off the grips.Now I have to start doing the mods to it that I read about on here like the reverse limiter. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

 

Congrats on the purchase....

You seem to be an experienced rider so the mods that you do will be for the riding you do. I am well over 2K miles on one of my bikes and minor problems that were fixed by dealer.

Hope you enjoy the new toy/workhorse!
