calm down ladies both quads are very impressive.Ive ridden both and the raptor definetly has more punch but ive felt more comfortable on the pred around the trails.But thats just my expirience.

 

Raptor13, a pred is not suited at all against a z400, I raced one last weekend, and I wouldn't even call it a race there is no comparison between them, the predator dominates.

A predator is definately comparable to a 700r, its just not quite as torquey, but it is still in the same class.

like you said, after 5900 rpm they are pretty close on hp, and just think..........how often in a drag race is your engine below 5900 rpm??but yeah, the pred does weigh more though so that hurts it a little.

im not trying to bash on the raptor, I think they are pretty sweet, just saying its comparable to a pred.

 

Twink, your a hoot. I saw the video of your pred, it doesnt count when its in the BACK of the truck. You dingdong. I wish you were closer to NC so that we could line them up, acually I wouldnt need the 700, I really dont think you could handle the 660 stocker. I raced one of your so called speed pods yesterday at a local track with the 660 and he ate dirt every lap. You are giving predator owners a bad name being this nutty. Maybe you should stick to racing skateboards or bicycles like you refered to.

 

I don't know what you were looking at clown but I never had a vid . You could not get either stock Raptor (700 or 660) to run a 8.7 1/8 th. You are right I also wish you were close , maybe you can make it to Planet sand in Gilbert La. and I'll promise you a spanking or 1,000 dollars aginst your stock raptors.

 

Come on twinkie baby, put your stock pred up for grabs. Ill wager the 700 but I think youll have a better shot with the 660 stocker. The 700 has mild mods and I know it will embarrass you. Heck lets call PINKS and see if theyll set it up, that way at least I will get something nice for stomping your pre-tender- a Napa tool box, god knows its worth more than your 4 wheel bucket. Be carefull, Reality bites and it rides a YAMI

 

Hey Raptor 13 (13 must be either your age or IQ) I'll meet you half way for free Raptor. Let me know if you are bringing them both because I' ll need to bring my big trailer. I would also love to shut you up on national television so if you have the kahonas BRING IT!

 

This is getting good.... LOL I dont care who wins, I just want to see you two duke it out. LOL On another note, that would be cool as heck to have two ATVs on Pinks, thats about the only thing I havent seen on there. Anyway set it up fellas, I want to watch.

LMAO YOU ROCK MAN!!!!!


i'ld pick the pred just cuz its- wider, has more travel (and fox podiums all around on the tld- or some type of nice fox shox)
and i also like the plastics on the pred, and the pred's radiator has more protection from sticks and branches that want to poke holes in it.- the pred has also lost 10 lbs for 2007, and its the same price as a z400 and 400ex in the USA (isnt that 1k cheaper than the rappy?)

in canada anyways, the pred is either 1200 or 1300 or 1400, but im thinking 1400 (am i right? 8599 msrp on the pred 9999msrp on the rappy)

but the raptor is yet another 10lbs lighter than the pred, and it has efi (easier than jetting) and it is also only 44 and a bit inches tall versus the just about 46" on the pred.

all in all- preds my choice, its got, stability, long travel, good shocks, pointy front plastics, lower price tag. and it doesnt look like its in a chronic nose-dive- the rappy just speaks to me saying- jump me, brake, i want to nosedive- and yes, i have sat on one and watched someone drive it (it was so fun, there was also a yfz on display, and it had a dummy on it in a powersliding position, but i bent the middle finger up to make it look cooler- it was so funny, you should have seen all the little kids point and stare at the impolite dummy)

by the way: since the ds650 and pred have the same carbs, can they swap? if so, can you put an efi system for the ds650 on the pred, just helping out pred owners.

 

OK Twink, Ill be willing to set it up with pinks here in NC, Thier based in Charlotte. I think Atlanta would be would be about half way for me and half way from the sewers. Just give me some info so they can contact you and its on. I think you may have stepped into a pattie. I will bring the 700 but will probably race the 660 because it is dead stock and I dont think youll beat it. Now if you want to mod it to the ***** Ill bring the Banshee since you have also dropped that load on here as well. Whats a pretend-ator worth these days anyway maybe Ill sell it back to you. If pinks is to much for you or they laugh us off the line, come to the hatfield trails and race me for titles, doesnt matter to me may save you some humiliation. AND BY THE WAY ran the 700 at piedmont the other day 1/8 miler, lets just say the Rappys down in sewerville usa must have some bad ridders, just bring the pred and Ill show you what it runs. As far as the piffy little comment about age and IQ, come on you can do better than that.

 

Im all for this pinks thing.... Why dont both of you just run bone stock vs. bone stock? Thats what the arguement was about in the first place. On pinks you can both check each others stuff out anyway, so get it on! Get it set up and let everybody know when the race is...
