im about to trade in my 03 grizz for a 700 either 07 or 08,my dealer has an 07 silver se edition,very nice but im wondering if anyone that's got one,how's the paint holding up,i do alot of bush and branches when hunting,dont want it to look like sh$$$t in a couple of years,if so,i'll just buy a standard color

The paint holds up really good. I have had mine for about 3 months now and have done a few bad bush trails. you can't really see scratches because of the brushed clear paint. they all blend in together.

there is big improvements from the 660. the steering is amazing when your in 4wd and frt diff lock steering is a lot easier! the ride is amazing it feels like a caddilac! saved the best for last! POWER!! it's got lots of it! i was side by side with my buds stock raptor700r until 3rd gear. thats not bad for a 600lbs bike. the only bad thing is it has a govenor at 106km/h but an aftermarket computer will fix that issue!! other than that its smooth sailing. you will love it, you bought a wicked, fast and sweet looking bike. enjoy!!

Congrats on the new ride Pat, I have yet to ride one but I don't think I will, the ole lady would shoot me because I know I would get one! I haven't heard anything bad about one yet, and I go on a lot of forums. Have you ever checked out grizzlyowners.com? I am on there quite a bit, great info on grizzlies from guy's and gals all over the world..............Irv
