What are your opinions on Polaris Predator 500, DS 650 and Rappy 660R? Try to be nice people I know some of you are die hards for your bikes. Just looking for some objective opinions. Also what about the Suzuki LTZ400? Thanks in advance!!!

 

You need to cough up some info first, like what you're looking for, what type of riding you plan to do, what the conditions of the ride areas are, looking for new or used, budget, rider size, etc.

 

I mostly ride in the Sand Dunes, but do ride hard pack occasionally. I'm 5'10" 250 lbs(LARD ***). My little 250R and I longer get along, that is why I am looking to buy a quad to handle my size. I still like to ride FAST and Hard!!! So I don't want some Grandma bike. Used is fine. I am on a budget, around 3500.00 or so. Thanks again for your input.

 

Im around the same weight but im buff(cough cough).I but a new ds650x.Can handle my wieght and is PLENTY powerful enough.Ive went through mud over the headlight.Its a beast and is perfect for my size person.Now thats my opinion only.The pred to me was kind of a cramp feeling to me.Not saying the predator isnt a amazing machine because it is.Just not the right size.Feels kind of like my 400ex.Now the raptor i really like.But some people say there TOOO tipy.But if you have half a mind of riding they are excellent handlers.People just nit pick too much.All three are incredible machines but for your size (and mine) i prefer my DS.Comfort is high on my list along with duribility,mudding,sand,trails.Technical Mx tracks i wouldnt recamend the Ds.I would choose the rappy&pred for that.And also so far my Ds has been crazy dependable also.

 

Does anyone know anything about the Cannondale 440?

 

Probably be best to ask the cannondale owners on there page

 

Yeah, but then I get a bunch of biased opinions. I'm hoping for more unbiased like you have given.

 

Thats true.Ive never ridden one but they look good at least.Can-Am page is pretty good about bias opinions,some of them might own cannondales.

 

Cannondale made good machines, just not reliable ones. And since parts are a lot harder to get a hold of than any of the three you're looking at I wouldn't go that route unless you don't mind being a shadetree mechanic at any given time.

 

for youe size go DS, all the way. Im small for mine, you got 100 pounds on me, i own a 02 baja and 89' lt500r DS650 rocks
