i ve got a kawi and i also had the same issue when purchasing a bike take a look at kawi's warranty i beleive right now its three years not 6 months like the yamaha also the grizzly is way higher which makes it way more unstable i know this because one of my friends owns a grizz and it is very tippy compared to the kawi cause the kawi is lower which let me tell you is not a bad thing it is a short wheelbase machine you don't need to be super high also my buddy's grizzly gets the belt wet quite a bit where as mine doesn't also i've heard story's that the grizz has a gas boiling problem might wan't to check that out any how i'm not one of these people that likes to tell stories because i want people to think my bike is cool this kawi that i own performs awsome and it is very fast i haven't had a problem with it yet besides it has a three year warranty not 6 months so that says alot that manufactuer will stand behind there product

I HAVE RIDDEN BOTH. THE PRAIRIE IS A LOT MORE FUN TO RIDE. A V TWIN 700 IS A LOT MORE RESPONSIVE THAN A SINGLE 660. BUT THEY ARE BOTH GOOD BIKES.

The Grizz, in low 4x4 has a rev limiter, which makes it hard if you realy need the power but going slow..
also with the IRS the machine tends to allow roll over more than the solid rear axel the prarie has. My buddy has rolled his grizz 4 times out riding in the same spots that I have gone without lifting a tire.. he ended up taking the rear sway bar off and that helped some..
also if your into powersliding corners, the prarie is much more stable and fun to do it with than the grizz.. also its better on fuel.. I also found a dyno chart online for each machine, the grizz runs at 28.5 Hp stock, the prarie runs 36 hp.stock.
