Yeah it does have the anti squat suspension but it is a fairly heavy quad overall maybe not so much in the frontend but just the total weight. I bet if polaris lightens it a little bit they will smoke a raptor.

Dude a Kawasaki v-force 700 is made for you. It's a large sport quad with great torque and low end power plus it's a fully automatic. You're the type of guy that kawi targeted this quad for. I also think they have the potential with mods to be in the top three fastest quads you can get. Go get you one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Ive got your answer heres the deal my buddys sister just bought a predetor its really really heavy if u want it for mx racing then you want the kfx if u want trailing u prbably want the polaris i personlly would go for the kfx ive seen both run and ive rode the polaris it isnt a bad quad but it isnt the best they are to heavy to do anything with in the dunes they are absolutley horible on track they are just to heavy and its hard to get air they would be good for trailing they have great suspension the z on the other hand has a great suspension to but is built more for mx racing and not so much trailing
go for the kfx
me personaly i ride a banshee and i love it but if u want four stroke go for either a honda 400ex or the ltz or kfx

Yeah, I'd go with the raptor if you want a manual also the ds650 is a little faster and it is made bigger for a bigger guy. A raptor is a very small quad as far as just looking at it, it looks small but the lightweight with the power is pretty darn awesome. A z400 has the most comfortable ride with the awesome seat and how it's made but the raptor is faster and the ds650 is faster than that. Good luck.

bigluke2k3, for your size and weight, it comes down to 2 quads, the DS650 and V-Force. Both are powerful machines and are geared toward the larger riders. The 04 DS's are suppose to be lighter than the previous ones. The new DS should be faster than the V-force due to the lighter wieght. Plus the new Baja and BajaX look really nice. I guess it really comes down to if you want a manual or automatic
