my friend is wanting a Raptor, Z400, or a Predator. he wants something that he can jump, has top end yet it can be pulled into a wheelie. mostly he rides it in trails but rides some in fields. which one would be best for him to get?

I have a KFX400 and my buddy has a raptor both nice bikes. I bought an LE pred. 500 and I like it so much better than either one. I ride trails and dunes. I would say go and sit on all three and maybe even try and ride them to see which one fits you best.

Oh boy now you did it!!! Talk about opening up a can of worms!!!!


As with any quad comparison, it really depends on the riders!

As for top speed, it really depends on the gears that either quad is running.

Lets just say that both quads are fairly close in performance and leave it at that. I know that you will get 10,000 replies that one is better than the other but it REALLY depends on which one fits you better and has what YOU need to make you happy!!

I would advise him to go and sit on each one and compare and do a test ride at the dealerships if possible.

I find that asking online you get a varying degrees of favoritism towards one brand or the other when one throws up quad options like what he is looking at.

The thing to keep in mind is to buy what you want and not what everyone else wants you/tells you to buy. My reccomendation is to take a look at all 3, compare their options, pricing, and their abilities and choose the one that suits his needs the most.

From my experience the pred is faster. I've beat 2 piped raptors with my stock 03 pred. One had an edelbrock carb with the lte duals and the other had a full yoshi system. Those are the only two ive raced, they may have been worse riders or something. They sounded like they were jetted ok, no cutting out or anything.
