Hi all, Brought my new toy home yesterday. Did not have much time to try her out, but will be putting some miles on soon enough. 2016 Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS SE…..sweet ride! Got a 60 plow with it, winch, hand and thumb warmers with 2 auxiliary for heated visor and heated seats. Went and had it registered and insured this afternoon, tomorrow should be fun, especially with snow forecast!! I have about 2 hours total riding experience of these machines, and ZERO plowing experience……both levels of experience about to show a steep upward curve! Hopefully Yamaha's reputation for reliability is also part of my experience, as my technical/mechanical abilities are limited( although I'm getting a bit more knowledgable these days) I have to also say thanks to all you guys that gave input a few months back when I posted about my impending purchase, all good info, once again OFC proves what a cool place it is. I also bumped into Ben Beattie this fall while out bird hunting/fishing….he was on a similar yamaha, sorry Ben…liked the colour….got the same . Roloff has already given chase to it and shows no discernible preference between it and the snowmachine. My wife also realized she could take Jack for rides around our neighbourhood all year round, she is happy=I am happy Back lakes I have only dreamed about will be visited also, can't wait. And all those little trails off to the side of the logging roads will be visited also. Bird hunting next year? BRING IT! Had good service from the dealership in Winnipeg, not so great in Dryden, why I travelled, so much for shop local….but I tried…again…their loss and my loss which is a shame…but I won't be lied to blatantly and held ransom to geography….principles. (sometimes it feels like cutting off my nose to spite my face though). But that is history…….and all that is left to do is to go out and use this machine to enhance my love of the outdoors. Its a short life….GRAB IT BY THE HEATED GRIPS AND GO! 2016 YAMAHA GRIZZLY 700 EPS SE
