Default dvx vs. predator

I would like to know wich atv is better looking and which one performs better as for as handling, speed and power wise. See i know some people who like to bash arcitccat fourwheelers, and they say the predator would whoop up on a dvx and how dvx's are so ugly and all this other **** about them. I personally think the dvx is way better looking and want to buy one. I was just wondering what all of you guys thought about this comparison.

personally i think they both look cool. handling, speed and power would be the predator, but the dvx is a more well rounded quad than the predator. i guess it comes down to what you want out of the quad.

i have the dvx and my friend has the predator. he can beat me in an all out drag after 3rd gear. but every other aspect i think the dvx is better. the predator has the no bumpsteer which i think sux. it feels like power steering, you can feel the turning.

I have yet to race a Predator but I beat both Raptors I dragged. I pulled them both from start to finish. My machine and the Raptors were completely stock.

I don't ride sport quads but some of my riding buddys do. Just from my viewings of the z400 and the Raptors, it was the other way around. Maybe the Raptor driver wasn't very good on that quad?

That's what I think too. I'm sure with a better rider they would have taken me. I completely expected to get smoked.

I had an '03 Predator and now have a '04 DVX. Both bikes have their strong points. As far as acceleration goes, the DVX is quick, but the Predator accelerated like it was "angry".....no comparison there. I got rid of the Preddy cuz I needed reverse, and the DVX is a GREAT bike, but now that the '05 Preddy will have reverse, I'm thinkin' Hmmmmm.........
