Default what to buy: raptor or predator

I am buying my first atv and i am wondering if i should buy a predator or raptor. i want good power, good handling, and something that will go on its back wheels with ease. the only problem i have with a raptor is that it is very tall and looks very tippy, so i am leaning towards a predator.


P.S i want something reliable too!

We have both, if you want to wheelie, go with the Raptor. The Predator has plenty of power over all, but it's not a wheelie machine.

I agree! I have ridden a friends 04 Predator and its not a wheelie machine. It has great power and is more setup for racing where you want your wheels on the ground. Thats not to say the predator wont do wheelies its just takes a little more to get them up. Plus the predator comes stock with a decent suspension setup.

The predator is a wheelie machine....ask JR because I believe he already got one about 2 weeks ago...check his new signature.

What's the verdict JR? You able to wheelie the crap out of that thing yet?

The Rappy is for pure power, while the Pred still has lots of power cant feel it as much as the raptor but the Pred i believe is a smoother ride and better handling
