I've had a few and they're generally pretty good but a bit on the light duty side.After a couple half decent wipeouts they look like pretzles, ESPECIALLY kodiak frames,griz wheels, and front bumpers on both.

2001 Grizz. to me this one is a really great machine. I have rode this poor thing almost every day for the last 5 years. I hunt alone on it and have complete trust in it getting me back to camp. I have only had to have the starter replaced once under warranty. its done everything I have asked it to do and then some. infact this next huntin season when I am at camp alone, I will be leaving the outty behind and taking the Grizz because of that trust I have with it.

Although not current, I had a 2002 Big Bear 400 4x4. That thing went through some nasty mud. I ran 27" 589s on it for awhile but they were a bit much IMO. It was a rock solid machine but it rode "rock solid" too. My body couldn't take the pounding so I went another route. Here's a pic of my old bear all decked out click for full size

I do remeber back in 1998 when I bought my Wolverine that it was considered by many to be one of the best "rec-ute" bikes around. I remember thinking I can't believe this ting doesn't even have a speedo or hr meter. No high/low selector basically nothing that almost all machines come with now a days. There wasnt much larger than a 500cc engine in any machine back then. I think maybe the Grizz had an engine around this size and also popo had a 500 magnum/sportsman if I remember correctly. Thats a long time ago now.....especially for me....I think I was in grade 11...lol
