I don't know if i really like the sounds of the raptor. I heard they suck at drifting (which is important to me) and also Aren't all that reliable.

 

yeah there not super good at drifting because there made more narrow for trails which makes them more tipsy. have you looked at the honda trx450's at all? good reliable brand and there quick and wider. id say its a good mix between the raptor and predator. its got good performance in the motor and suspension and is a very reliable name

 

check out this thread. its predator vs trx450

trx450 vs. predator 500 [Archive] - ATV Riders Forum

 

Those 450s aren't reliable. Even though its a Honda, those things need a lot of rebuilds

 

I don't need anything crazy narrow either

 

The predator has really caught my attention. Reverse, fast, good in the trails and sand, reliable and not too narrow but not too wide.What will getting on a pred feel like after being used to my blaster?

 

its would be a completely different feeling. we have a blasters and a banshee and going from those to the predator was really weird but it was mind blowing. Now i know why everyone buys 4 strokes haha. It has crazy power and it rides so much smoother. you get alot less sore after a long day of riding. if your on pavement your first time driving a predator be careful not to flip it over (x it would be a big difference in power going from a blaster. Also when you want to go faster and start getting in your prime riding zone it will feel like your beating on it alot less than blaster. whenever i ride a blaster i feel like im really pushing on it to get it to go fast

 

i always call my predator a luxsury ride haha because going from a blaster to the predator.... it rides smoother, has electric start, reverse, and you dont have to shift as much to keep it in the power band

 

Its like 12 here and I'm going to bed but ill talk to you tomorrow. Maybe on Facebook if your down with that, it'll just be faster and easier. Thanks for all your awesome answers!!

 

yeah that would work great and no problem! talk to you soon.
