Your not exatly comparing apples to apples on these two machines.
The foreman has a manal tranny solid rear axle, aircooled on a midsized quad.
The Grizzly is an automatic, indipendent rear suspension, liquid cooled big bore quad.
Foreman
Pros:
Simplicity (adds to durability)
Low gearing
Air cooled is better for mudding
Manual shifter
Cons:
Does not have the same power as a big bore
No front diff locker
SRA bikes are not known for there riding comfort, although the 2005 are a step up from most other SRAs.
low ground clearance
Grizzly
Pros:
Power to turn almost any tire w/o mods
Front diff lock
IRS
High ground clearance
Liquid cooling is more consistant
Automatic tranny (only a pro if you like them)
Cons:
Well known for broken axles
Radiators are small and clog up in mud
Belt drives will get wet
Its all in what you want, but like I said your not comparing apples to apples. My foreman is not the fastest, most powerful, biggest groung clearance ATV out there, but I am very happy with it. It takes me "almost" everywhere I want to go.
I am sure there are other things I have left off, but I truley recomend finding a dealer that sells both of them and take them for a test drive.
