[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1703508, member: 109229"] So it’s time to add an ATV to the stable as my son is feeling his oats. We told him we’d meet him 1/2 way if he saved up, and have kind of targeted a Yamaha Kodiak 450 as the likely candidate. However, we currently have a Polaris 570 he’s been riding around, and with a close to 25% HP advantage over the Yammie, I’m thinking it might be the way to go, as he can grow into it AND I am used to working on the Polaris and can standardize with maintenance. Then he says: “Dad, let me have your 570 and you can get something bigger.” What a fine young boy he is. So, I’m looking at the Grizzly 700 and the Polaris 850 and 1000 and I’m thinking, Do I need that much bike? The 570 meets my needs and is reliable, powerful and easy to work on. As a mid-size bike, it’s maneuverable and nimble. Will I sacrifice this by going bigger? I’m interested to hear from guys that have 700+ cc bikes, particularly with regard to how much they like them and whether or not they feel they might have been better served staying in the mid-size displacement range and why. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
