Buying new 4x4 - need opinions - ATV Forum - All Terrain Vehicle discussion for Honda, Yamaha and more ATVs

I am buying a 2011 quad. Picking it up next weekend. It is either the 500 Spotsman or the 550 Griz. The griz is about 2G more so that is the reason I am leaning towards the Polaris. I like the idea of EFI but not sure I like to the tune of 2G. I am getting a winch and plow with the bike and will use it to hunt, plow my driveway, haul fire wood and a little trail riding. Although is will see mud I am not going bogging with it and I am pretty meticulous with my toys as far as maintenance and routine upkeep.

I am looking for opinions on why I want the Griz over the Sportsman and, considering my use, what you recomend?

Thanks - Bob Urban

I can't think of as of a good reason. Don't get me wrong the griz is a very good bike but for what you plan to use it for and the 2k difference..I would go for the Polaris. I still have my old 2000 expidition has over 7K and never had a problem.
