My dads got a grizzly 600 (or 500 maybe I don't remember). It's fun to ride but gets old unless your riding with friends.

Besides the palstics and the rims being black does it come with any performance items like a special exahust?

It's a tabletop jump. The take off is just out of camera range but you can see the landing. I'm guessing it's about ~35 ft. long.

Nice ride man ! I have been drooling for one of the new performance 4 strokes for a while. My Banshee seems so dated now :(

I've ridden dirt bikes for most of my life so I'm experienced. This thing kicks ass in the sand and loose dirt. It's like driving on ice as you round the corners. A bit different from a bike but a hell of a lot funner.
jeebus! :Q

No way in fsck I'd spend 6200$ on a 4-wheeler. I'd rather find a dead one and repair it for a fraction of the cost.
