Top speed
Hmm, I have an '03 starts with one touch of the button (cold or hot), has never missed a shift, others rave about my suspension after riding it (450r, yfz450, and rappy owners), and after banging a few trees you'll appreciate the pro-steering.
Stock top-speed is spec'd at 76mph.
Of course I didn't buy my quad to drive only in straight lines, if I did I would have bought a Raptor.</end quote></div>
I dont think a stock predator would get close to 76mph. More like 73-74mph.

Top Speed With our hand-held GPS we set out to test the top speed of the Predator. Our test area had a very slight incline to it so we took readings in both directions with a smaller 139 lb rider and with a heavier 185 lb rider. The lighter rider was able to reach a top speed of 73 MPH in the uphill direction and 74 MPH in the downhill direction.

Top speed
for absolute highest top speed it'd be a toss up between the DS650 and the Raptor 700, the DS650 weighs in close to 500 pounds and the Raptor closer to 400lbs, with such a weight difference, you'd think that the raptor could smoke the DS650, but Yamaha purposely bottled it up to have about the same power output as a YFZ, as for the DS650, its got a rotax engine in it, which are known to have an extremely high output, and the DS650 would need it considering its size, but stock, as far as top speed goes, the DS650 is the fastest

maybe you misunderstood or i was not clear by the word cold, in northern nh, in the winter, it can get -20 degrees F at night. the predator guys have a really hard time getting their machines started in these conditions. my brothers wont start under 20 degrees nor will my best friends.

Tell them to fatten up the A/F screw and check valve clearances.
