Hey guys, I have been interested in buying a quad here in the future. Looking for some advice. Good and bad experiences with both machines. Reliability. I'll mostly use it around the house and hunting camp. Even though most of the area are gated off it would still be nice to have a quad to run the moutain roads and save that $4 plus gallon of diesel in the ole dodge. I have been able to figure out that the grizz is 8" taller and about 200 lbs lighter than the SPORt. Beening a military man, I have always prefer to buy American made. But the Grizz seems to be calling my name. can anyone help with one first hand experience.. Thanks Pete |

Owned nothing but Polaris and haven't had any problems at all, got a 700, 500, 400 and a 325. There used to be a problem with the clutch getting toasted when fording deep water, they have solve that since 2001. The Griz is a great machine also, buddy had his, plenty of power, now with the power steering, I think they will be hard to beat. Bad thing about the Griz is they roll easier!!!! :chuckle: See attached photos, but we still drove it out 26 miles to the trailer.... Although the insurance company totalled it, everything was bent on the bottom side....... For full out performance and warranty new the Can Am (Bombier) 800 is the most impressive machine I've been on. Power that is not compared by anything else out there and three year warranty. |

My buddies have Grizzlys, One guy has a Polaris, I have a King Quad. They are really all about the same. I have noticed the Polaris rides rougher. If you maintain them they all last forever. We ride more for just fun than anything else, they get rode pretty hard. |

I love the new Griz! Dad has a 98 Sportsman 500 that we have taken everywhere! Now mostly use it on the property. I am still using an ATC350X to get to and fro if not using boot leather. The Can-Am is by far the best out there, but also ridiculously expensive! |
