I was at Northern Power Sports buying parts for my Grizzly 660 the other day and I tested out one of the new Grizzly 700 machines with the power steering. I rode it along the roads on a very steep side-hill type of situation which we all know is trying on the arms after a long ride. That machine didn't even pull and it was amazing. I do a lot of hill side riding and at 60 years old I'm not quite as strong as I once was. I was very impressed with it and I would imagine that the competition will be following suite with their top of the line machines soon.
The 700 is actually a 686 cc fuel injected single cylinder. I was hoping that it would be a twin to make a smoother low end running machine. It is certainly not lacking for power when you punch it down however. It has no choke as it is EFI and it doesn't seem to need one but it also has no pull or kick starter in case of a failed battery or starting system. I guess I'm from the old school on that one.
I guess for now I'll just salivate about it and keep on with the two perfectly good machines I already have.
