I rode my 99 300FW since new. Purchased my 16' Rubicon 4mths ago. With all the research I've done. Test rode many different wheelers, including a Griz and a 570 Can-Am and if I had to go buy another new machine, I would buy the Rubicon all over again. Rides nice, ergonomically it fits like a glove. Goes anywhere any of the other manufacturers will go in the woods. YES wide open all the manufactures will leave you behind. Power wise, it's not going to rip your arms off the bars but it's def more than my ole 300 lol. I would take a look at the Rincon if all you do is mainly trail ride. But if you want speed, look at another manufacturer. The Griz I rode I didn't find as comfortable as the Honda. Power was good and you can't deny Yamaha's reliability. If you want power look at the Can-Am 1k.

The yamahas are underpowered too, Polaris and Can-am are #1, the Raptor has a similar motor to the Grizzly, just gear drive, 1000R Can-am has about double the HP and double the weight too lol. Yamaha and Suzuki are kind of that middle ground between power and reliability, I'd have no problem buying either.

X2 on what Mac said.

In my experience most reliable any foot shift honda. Highest HP Can-Am & Popo. The rest are a good mix of both. I didn't feel the Grizz was a huge step up in power. Good machine but not a powerhouse from what I was expecting. They problem with deciding which one to buy is because they are all pretty good. They all have their issues and quirks.
