I love the Yamaha as well. If your using the bike for work stuff the manual shift is nice. Also with the shaft drive one never worries about blowing a belt. I might take a bit more time getting somewhere but thats ok. Who is in a rush. I could always pull a Polaris back who overheated. Lol

09 Grizzly 700 still on original belt. I serviced the clutch last year, belt still looks new. I work the machine hard year round, plowing, yard work, firewood etc. My dad has a 04 Honda Rincon that he works with at the cottage and it’s been bulletproof too. Can’t go wrong with either a Honda or Yamaha IMO.

Everyone's tastes change over time I guess. My old honda fourtrax was great for pulling loads of straw up the barn hill and into the barn(although getting stopped was another issue)But scooting across the field you felt every bump. Now as I'm older I don't want to change gears anymore. I even sold a pickup truck because I was tired of changing gears after 3 years. In another 10 years I'll likely need a hovercraft because of my bad hips. lol
