Welcome from Colorado.
I think your choice is all going to depend on the trail conditions you ride most. Are you familiar with the trails around there, know guys that ride much, and have you been riding and just want a new bike?
Ask others around there what they like about their rides, and if you ride watch what they go through on the trail v how aggressive they ride.
To shorten a long day story, last week I was helping a new friend with a popo and we needed to go to town for parts. Because of questions I stopped at the local Yami, Suz. Kawi. dealer to let her look at new bikes and features, then went to the local popo dealer for the key blank.
All in all it seems Yami has been a leader in rider features the others are trying to copy, and in some areas the others have gotten close with their bike sitting on the dealer property. They all look about the same length, height off the ground sitting still with shiny wheels and bad tires. I didn't compare prices and was only there to point at different features for her to make her own choice some day and;
I wouldn't give 2 cents for shiny plastics and wheels or colorful stickers or crinkle paint on the racks. Over time Yami has let others get close and is probably losing sales, their engine performs well but doesn't have that oh shit feel if the throttle is masked completely. There is the backfiring on decel that's been there FOR YEARS, and as others don't do this it must be something Yami engineers approve for some reason.
BUT I saw a new standard green griz sitting out in the storage shed out back, like a puppy in the pound looking for a new home. You know, the one you can just look at among all others and instantly know its the right one for you. The one that says I'm a few more bucks which you'll forget about later when the shit hits the fan. (and why would anyone get a kodi other than for price? that was my first long look at one and damn, what is Yami thinking?)
I have put a few miles on my 660, posted pictures and videos along with a few stories of the demanding days I have enjoyed on this thing, and when looking at that new 700 sitting there I new it was of the same pedigree as my old faithful 660 from years ago. Easily understandable forward controls all in the same place (they got it right yeas ago) with the shift on the left side, are the competitors copying the best set-up (or some of them?)
The same style running boards easily removed for c.v.t. mods later if wanted, the new bikes haven't been changed much which shows there's not a lot wrong with them.
A few years ago another member here and I took a 660 and a 700 out for a week long beating here in the mountains, in that 7 day week we did 972 miles and 455 miles of those were on a single calendar day (Aug 12, 2015 to find old threads here). Over that week he picked up a nail and one night we switched his second set of tires for the first. Other than that it was 'Gas and Go Baby' each morning, so looking at that new Griz the other day if I was in the market why would I try another breed?
OK.....3000 bucks can be an influence, and if you ride with others close to town and do not demand proven reliability, reliability like what I and many other members here have proven over many tough miles, then keep us posted on your choice and riding experiences over time, and show us pictures and video too.
