Yamaha's new Grizzly 550 FI is decorated with a long list of features usually reserved for top-of-the-line machines with bigger engines and price tags. The Grizzly 550 has on-command system to allow drivers to select two-wheel drive and limited-slip and fully locked differential four-wheel drive with the push of a button.
