Marlin, I have a 2007 Grizzly 660 and a partner has a Honda, forget the exact model. Comparatively his Honda outshines my Grizzly. It has a lower center of gravity and he was going up hills in 2WD where I was already giving it hell in 4WD.
I like my Grizzly, but not sure that's the route I'd go, especially around here.
