oh wow i c now there was a typo the preditor is 5,800 out the door

 

Hmmm why isnt the Z/KFX in that catergory, it's a good machine. My vote is for the pred. The honda ex class is OLD technology too. And the raptor, cough WARRIOR with new plastic is really old. I would say get a kfx but if not that than get a pred.

 

My buddy has a Raptor 350 and honestly, I'm only 5' 9" and it feels way small to me. You kinda shifted gears a bit here, is your g/f gonna ride with you or is she gonna have her own quad? Not sure about riding passengers on a sport quad. I traded in my Bruin for an Outlander, much better machine but it's not a sport quad however it will get you anywhere and back.

Have you looked at the new 700 Raptor? Very nice bike. The new Wolverine has a 421cc and kind of sounds like what you are looking for??

 

6' Tall here 220 lbs, Raptor 350 moves me just fine, I climb steep hills on trails in 2nd gear.

Yeah, they go anywhere but just feel too small for my preference. A LOT easier to throw around a race track without a doubt.
