Grizzly 350

Yamaha introduced the Grizzly 350 for the 2007 model year as a mid-size utility ATV positioned below the brand’s larger Grizzly models. It was built around Yamaha’s 348cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke platform and the company’s familiar Ultramatic automatic transmission, giving it the easygoing work-focused character that defined Yamaha’s utility ATV line. Early versions were offered in 2WD and 4WD configurations, and Yamaha later expanded the family with market-specific derivatives such as IRS-equipped and Hunter editions. The model used the Grizzly nameplate to link it visually and conceptually with Yamaha’s larger utility ATVs, while serving riders who wanted a simpler, lighter-duty machine for chores, trail use, and general ranch or property work. Yamaha documentation shows the Grizzly 350 in multiple model years over a long continuous run, and it remained a recognizable part of the company’s utility ATV lineup for many years. Rather than being a high-performance flagship, it was intended as a practical all-rounder: approachable, durable, and oriented toward everyday work with enough capability to handle recreational riding as well.
