Default New guy! Woo..Now here's the topic:

Raptor, KFX/Z, or Predator.

I've heard the pred has suspension problems yet has decent power and handling.

The raptor, far as displacement, seems the way to go, being a little tippy in the front though. But, easily fixed.

For a happy medium, the z400 and KFX.

Now, my type of riding is up and down in the gears, lots of pushing on turns, mud, water, and hills. I've also two KDX 200s I'm riding with, both having been modified.

I've never ridden these, which is the problem. :< Anything mechanical or structural I can handle fixing, just, help? Lol.

Thanks if you respond, or even read.

As a past KDX 220 owner and now a KDX 200 owner I would go with the Raptor. If you can handle the KDX's you will feel right at home up in the big blue sky when your on the Raptor. Since you have dirtbike skills you will understand the dynamics of how the raptor acts in and will prevent the tip everyone says occurs.
