Thanks for any information.


It's at least as good with probably a better ride.

Dealer called yesterday and they had a delivery they were trying to schedule that is fairly close to us so he asked if I wanted him to deliver the Griz as well. I said sounds good!


Gonna have to clean out the mess in the garage...

Probably a bunch of techno soyboy's coming up with this trendy chit.


Here is the 50th Anniversary Special Edition. I like this color scheme.

Those are both good lookin'!

I would have tried to get one like those but I didn't want the crazy low pro mud tires.

I'm thinking the traditional tires like on my 2011 will offer a better ride for off-trail cow chasing in the rough country.

Yeah, you probably don't encounter much mud out in the hills.

We get some pretty nasty wet gumbo but try not to ride and tear up the countryside when it's overly muddy.

The dealer just dropped the new Grizzly off here in town at my house and the white/grey isn't overly annoying, it might actually grow on me. Took it for a quick spin around the block and it didn't break down...lol

You're gonna have to settle for really lame garage and driveway pics....lol



I felt kinda bad for my trusty 2011 when I opened up the garage door and backed in the new girlfriend... That '11 has been an awesome machine.

I've been on ATV's since 13yo, I'm 55 now, so I'm not hot air Brother. Yamaha/Honda are go to brands, the Griz is THE BEST all purpose ATV out there, no matter the year. I don't own one, have two 2000 Kodiaks, wife has a 2021 Honda Rubicon. I tried to buy her a Griz instead of the Ruby, but none in stock locally, during the Corona craze. Buy the Griz, it's one of the few sure things/no regrets you'll have in life, sheer enjoyment. I rode the first year models and recent ones, ALL GOOD!👍🏻

FWIW - I have a 2007 Grizzly 700 that has been a great unit. Had the stator burn up, added the updated side cover with a new stator. Replaced rear CV joint boots, actual CVs were good.
Other than tires and regular maintenance, it's been reliable as a hammer.

That’s a great looking atv. You gonna add any boxes or extensions to the racks?

The white/grey is kinda growing on me!


Only thing I plan on adding is a 25 gallon weed sprayer. Plan is to keep this one for easy farm work and continue to thrash my old blue Griz for cow work.

I might also get one of those fancy bale bed lifts for it so I don't have to load it with chains.
