| The 2009 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS | | | | enough a few years ago to test drive a new model |
| As far as 2008 was concerned the Grizzly did pretty | | | | Vauxhall that had EPS and the only fault I found was |
| well against it's competition. The big question was | | | | at night time when you had the full disco and light |
| would the 2009 model see people with their begging | | | | show going, that extra strain on the battery for the |
| bowls out looking to change? As nice as last years | | | | EPS system made a significant difference on the |
| model equivalent was, the 09 Grizzly 700 EPS does | | | | horses pulling the chariot. Is this why they have |
| growl more that it's bite! | | | | made the Grizzly even lighter? |
| So is it a case of "Bigger is Better? | | | | Sliding away from one gizmo to another - the on |
| "The 09 Grizzly - Undressed - Just because the NEW | | | | command 3-mode drive system seems to be the |
