From what I could see the 700 is a nice bike with the aluminum sub-frame, dimensions and lower center of gravity than the 660. But, I disagree that a 700 would kill a pred. We'll see what happens when they're both modded equally.

I wouldn't know, stock for stock. My preddy has a high rev CDI, LTE pipes and clamp-on K&N, no internal engine mods. We had some impromptu sand drags at our local area with the guys I ride with. One was on the raptor 700, we were pretty equal. Whomever was able to keep the front end down at the start was able to win. He's still sorting out his bike, mod wise, so it'll be nice to see what it does when he's done. He did need to re-gear, the preddy would just start to walk away at the finish line if we both got a good start. But if he re-geared it might clean that up.

First off, the Troy Lee Predator is not any faster than the stock Predator.....AT ALL. Also, the 700 raptor is still 660. Or maybe 680, but 20 cc wont make much of a difference. If the Troy Lee (just better suspension, and other things but no engine mods) beat the 660, then the TLD will beat the 700 aswell, because the 700 is still a 660. Anyways, even if the 700 WAS a 700, the LE predator (exhasut adds about 5hp) would beat it.

Dude i dont even know what you just said but first through fourth gear a tld will beat a regular preddy due to quicker gear ratios. About all the other stuff just remember "its not a matter of air speed velocity, its a matter of weight ratios" Coconuts anyone?

by polaris you mean?? I agree......now I think I'd just wait it out.....although some of the new preds, like spyder's, are pretty nice.......and would trade with good value still. I'm hoping for the ktm/pred quad. A 520cc or something close to 450cc(don't know if they have a 450 or not)......would be very nice.....and will probably be in my garage......

The Rappy 700 can and will walk away from a Preddy stock to stock. I was never beaten by a Preddy on my cousins Rappy 660 when that thing was stock and some of those Preddy's were piped with intake. No disrespect Preddy guys, there are some nice and fast ones out there but stock to stock I don't see the Preddy getting out ahead of the new Rappy.
