Default YZF 450 vs. 660 Raptor vs. Predator 500

I have a 2003 wolverine and take it off jumps. I was told that i am soon going to mess it up somehow by jumping it. So i need to get a sport fourwheeler so i can use the wolverine as a mud machine and use the sport as a jumping one. I live out on acres and acres of farm land and there are tracks all over the place. I want one that will be able to go fast andone that will be able to take it off alot of jumps. I am 14 and weigh 132 and am 5"5 or so. Please tell me what you think would be the best fourwheeler for me.

Go with the Pred, the 05 has reverse. It's a better around quad then the Raptor, or the yfz. Go out and ride them all and see what you think.

I have raced them both on the track and they are both nice machines, but the predator imo is the better quad! It is a little heavy but has handled any and every jump I have hit np.

YZF for big air.

I like the Pred and in a year or so plan on gettting one but for what he wants it for which is jumping the lighter smaller YZF will do better.

I agree! He is only 132lbs, the pred would throw him around like a rag doll! If you are just looking for a good jumper the 400ex are very good, thay are light and have forgiving suspensions on them. Just another option.

If you just want jumping and speed, get the YFZ.
If you want to ride trails, get the 05 Predator.
I think the Raptor would feel too big and top heavy for you....and anyway the YFZ is faster and lighter and the Predator is better on the trail.
I don't think your weight is a big issue because you are still growing like a weed.

They're all good. Have Fun!

Raptor or Predator is a tough decision. Find the best price would be my advice.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
