Title: New Bike Decision
Post by: Anoriginal on January 27, 2005, 07:16:44 AM
Okay, I'm buying a new bike within the next week. I'm torn between the Yamaha 660 Grizzly and the Kawasaki Brute Force 750.

I've been on both and like them both. Anyone have any lasting experience with these two bikes or opinions to share?

Thanks in advance.

Anoriginal, they are both great bikes and I have riden both also. I cant help but remember the power and speed of the B.F. That is an awsome machine and rides like a caddy also.
Between those two go with the Kawi. My .02

Well my buddy just bought a 05 Grizz this morning. We took it out to a field in the city to test it out, and wow. I'm use to the tank of a quad in my Polaris. The steering and power are great. The steering impressed me the most considering my Sportsman turns like a freight train. I was throwing dirt and pulling wheelies. Never have ridden the Brute Force, and now probably never will. The Grizz is the way to go for me.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Grizzly. It seems to handle better and the power is on par with the Brute Force. That Brute Force is a torque monster though and a blast to drive. Just not a nimble as the Yamaha.

I ride an Arctic Cat for about 5 hours straight this summer and wasn't that impressed. I found it cumbersome compared to the Yamaha. Just my opinion. I'm sure its a great bike.

The Grizzly 660 is a great quad handles great and smooth ride. The Brute force has to much power and too light in front Unstable ride.

But what else would I say after all I am the Grizz

Hey Matt!

Good idea. Now, all you have to do is call my wife and talk her into letting me spend $14k+ for two bikes. By they way, if that were to happen, I'd have to move in with your family.

I'll swing by and show you which one I end up buying.
