The older kodis were pretty much what the big bear 400 is today. The newer kodis are mainly belt driven autos with a few more ccs. I'd put my bear against any kodi today, with the exception of my 99 kodi, which would probably whoop it.

basically what has already been said...but i think i could give you a run for your money. the kodiaks are great. i love mine. i have never ridden a new big bear, but i do know that they have a super low first gear. i personally like the belt drive set-up, but others prefer a direct gear drive.
