Grizzly 550 or 700 vs Sportsman 550 or 850

[Guest jspen]

I am actually looking to purchase two quads within the next 6 months. One utility, one sport. However, I am up in the air between Yamaha vs Polaris and what engine size to get. Speed is good, power is good and price is always a factor but no too worried in the end. Also, factoring this decision will also be based on the sport quad I purchase which, shocker, Yamaha YFZ450x or Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. I honestly don't know which brand to purchase. I will not be racing at all but wouldn't mind hitting a track if available just to mess around in and most of my riding will be Northern Minnesota trails, groomed trails at that. Sorry this was a lengthy read and I am sure these quads have been talked about before but this is my first time on this site ever. Thanks for your thoughts and don't fry me too bad.

I thought this was supposed to be a comarison between the Grizzly and Sportsman, you posted the same thing as in your YFZ vs Outlaw thread.

I posted it twice because I am in the market for 2 quads, a sport quad that will be 98% trail ridden 2% mx/dune fartin' around having fun but NOT COMPETITION RACED and a utility quad 80% trail ridden 20% hunting, plowing etc...

I prefer the Grizzly 700...and recommend you look at the Suzuki King Quad. I have had bad experiences with Polaris front ends and have seen Polaris utility quads get messed up on the trails from rough riding...so I'm not a huge Polaris fan.

If you are looking for comfort, buy a quad with power steering.

sportsman 850 is a beast ..... an for the sport quad ... check into the kawasaki KFX VForce 700 ... they are very mean and will work great ware you ride ..
