Bought 2024 450 Kodiak SE earlier this year. It's runs pretty nice after you ride it about 700-800 kilometers. And my brothers 570 Outlander Pro + can't keep up from 0-60kmh, which was a surprise. Kodiak is lightweight and turns tight, and large footwells are a plus. Nice video again!
13:50 The grizzly is only 14 lbs heavier than a kodiak 700 and only half an inch higher (2" higher at the seat which I believe its has a thicker padded seat). It is 2 inches wider which can lead to slightly better suspension feel. The main problem with the kodiak 450 is its the same weight and frame as the 700 which means you have a smaller engine struggling more. I can only come up with 2 reasons to choose the Kodiak 450 which is price and if you are buying it for the kids and you want to tame things down for safety. I own a rancher420 , rubicon520 , and grizzly. I will say the grizzly is hands down better in almost every way than my hondas and I was a honda fanboy (previous dirt bikes and current motorcycle as well) until I bought our wolverine x2 850 and then the grizzly.
I own both 450 and the 700 and definitely the 700 is the way to go if you need the extra power on the other hand the 450 smaller and fun to ride perfect for the kids and wife.

great video. This is a fantastic bike that will never let you down. Hard to beat Yamaha quality.
