I NEED help!!! Im looking to buy a new quad and I cant pick between the suzuki 400 or the preditor 500???? Any input helps!!!!

 

What kind of riding are you going to do, I have both?

 

I live in southern Oregon. So I do a lot of trail riding But I also go to the dunes prob once every 3 or 4 weeks. So what would you sugest??

 

Sorry for the delay, I travel a lot. For trails I would pick the Z, The Predater will have more torque for the dunes but you still have to transfer the extra torque to the sand. My son races the Z (extremely modified) in hare scrambles, The GNCC, and District 17 AMA. I feel it's more nimble on trails for the steering aspect and the 'Pro Steering' that the Predater has is just too many tie rods and hard use causes quick failure. I've already replaced 4 tie rods and a wrist pin @600 miles and am not too happy with the motor on the PoPo. Now Polaris is using the KTM motor on the Outlaws, all 3 models, but after watching the KTM quads perform in the Ironman, I'm not impressed. The Hondas are the dominating quads now but Honda is shelling out the bucks after seeing Suzuki dominate for awhile. Aftermarket availabilty for parts is better for the Z. I feel you'll have a better experience with the Z.
