Does anybody have any experiences with the Kodiak or Bruin.  Good or bad.  Thanks

Just picked up a bruin the other day.  I like it so far, but havent had a chance to ride it so far.

I got the 2x4.  I already have a Grizzly and find that I dont really ever have to use the 4x4 on it.  I got this bike for my girlfriend to ride and the price is very reasonable.  Handles much better than my griz too in my opinion.  The Griz has all the the things this one doesnt (fuel gage, clock, speedo, etc) so I really wasnt concerned with this one not having them.  If it was going to be my only bike I would probably get the 4x4 just to have it.  Hope that helps.

Thanks NDAWIND, I am re-thinking the whole 4x4 thing as I don't really think that I need a 4x4.  It just might be more stuff to break and spend money on.  I really don't like mud ridding anyway.  Thanks for your input.

We have an 03 kodiak, runs good. Only 2x4 though, have got stuck riding alone. I bought an 04 Suzuki Eiger 4x4 and put a winch on it. Nothing sucks worse that getting stuck by yourself with no way to get out, it always happens right when it's starting to get dark, and the you are screwed.

I have a kodiak too, good and dependable bike. If I were you I would buy a 4X4. But  the ride is on the kodiak is like a tank.

It does ride like a tank and vibrates, but has light steering and tons of power, reliable, and looks good. Good value for the money.

Take a look at the Kawasaki Praiire 360. I've had mine a year and it's been great.
