Strange how the Yamaha and Kingquad have changed, the new Suzuki plastics are very durable and unbreaking however the Yamaha has very poor plastic and figment in 2023. I have both Yamaha plastics on 2022 bounce and shake on idle…
Congrats on having both. Thanks for the comparison. I personally like more about the KingQuad, but both are great machines. Suzuki does sell optional front and rear bumpers for the KQ. I would probably get one at least for the front.
@@FullsendOffroad Here's hoping you have no accidents. Yeah, we never needed bumpers on our old ATCs, but they do look pretty tough on the KQ. Now you need to add a Rubicon and a Brute Force to your collection.
@@Cobra37061 😂😂😂I already went broke after buying the Grizzly🤣🤣 maybe one day I'll be able to own the other two. I was actually thinking about a Brute Force, but I was more drawn to the Grizzly.
On my 2019 Kingquad it is definitely more powerful than my 2022 Grizzly. The Kingquad now has 50 hp which is the same as the Kawasaki 750, Yamaha has 46 or 7
I have not much experience with Honda, I doubt there will be any difference in reliability. Both will last you 10 thousand miles easy with few issues depending on the way you treat them. Overall though since reliability is so close that you can't even tell, I'd take the Suzuki Overall. They have a better dealer network at least where I live, plus I've heard that Suzuki's general seating position and comfort top out the Honda.
I will make a sequel to this video explaining more of ownership and the true character and ride of both machines instead of stupid stuff like rack capacity. With that said I was supposed to get a Grizzly 660 but it sold so I picked up my KingQuad. And the 07 to 15 Grizzly will not leave you disappointed.
@@3waver I was going to get a 660 twice. First time it sold so I went with a KingQuad 700. Second time I was looking more for an 08. Those beasts will remain one of my favorites. Hopefully I can buy one as a project. 9000 miles is still crazy. I've become numb to high mileage ever since I saw a KingQuad 500 with 35,000 MILES. thirty-five *thousand.* truly stunning.
@@3waver Nice! Have you owned your 02 660 since new? I bought my 02 660 about 5 years ago. It’s in rougher shape and has around 5,100 miles and close to 800 hours. I think it was driven pretty hard by some of its previous owners and stored outside some. It burns a little motor oil and leaks a little bit of motor oil as well. I paid under $2K for it so I’ve been pretty happy with it overall. I did however just 2 weeks ago pick up a much cleaner 07 Grizzly 700 with only 1,800 miles and 215 hours. Will probably be selling the 660 now that I have the 700.
I’d take a new king quad over a grizzly and it’s not even close Yamaha still has those same issues from 2008 Suzuki has updated and is a overall higher quality bike .I’ve seen 2019 with 10 to 15 k miles already
Yeah I saw a Kingquad 750 EPS for sale on marketplace for 4,500 USD and I was surprised because it has 8K miles and looked like it only had 300. But some reasons to consider the Grizzly would be the storage, temp and voltage gauges, park gear, and just overall a more comfortable ride with softer suspension and smoother EPS. But I agree. You will never beat the smoothness of a KingQuad. My Grizzlies handlebars shake on idle, and my buddy's Kodiak 700 SE gauge pod rattles a lot on trails...
Grizzly over the king quad any day the 700 king quads where junk i had a 700 with only 3000 km and had to change the wiring and at 5000 km needed valves i own two 1999 king quads 300 never had prob maby i got a lemon never know
@@levimc6783 I have had just a few minor issues on my Grizzly and it's been a great bike. I come from a family of Yamahas. My '88 Moto4 fell off a trailer with minor damage. My dad's friend's Yamaha Timberwolf wasn't started for a year and it was kept outside and the battery was never charged. Then it just fired right up. I know a lot of people with Yamahas.
Im huge grizzly (old model as you have) fan. But bought myself a 2006 Kingquad 700 last week
@@Kingquad700 sick!! I love em both enough that I don't know which one's better. It's a back and forth identity crisis lol
King quad for sure. Love it!!
Yeah. I love both, they're excellent. I can't say one is better, I just love how my Grizzly drives

Yeah, I would too, but I haven't really had an accident like that, and it's holding up fine. Thanks for checking out the video!!!

The Kawi is VTwin the King is not
Trying to decide between a king quad 500 and a Honda Rubucon 520. Suzuki has more horsepower. Which one will last longer?

Prefer the Grizzly more myself. I currently have an 02 Grizzly 660 but hoping to upgrade to an 07-14 Grizzly 700 soon.

My 2002 Grizzly 660 has 9000 miles and runs like new. Yamahas are reliable and easy to work on.

On the new Suzuki you don’t have to remove plastic to change oil
Yeah, in 2016 they changed that

Shake your mountain bike a little when the speed is too high... otherwise you will bend your transmission system.

My 700 has issues too with stalling and overheating. Haven't seen a 750 with those same issues. Maybe it's just the 700s.
