Looking to purchase my first quad..I have a rezivour close to my house and they have some cool trails..so I plan on doing moderate riding nothing crazy...how do these look?





2008 Raptor 350



Polaris predator 500 atv

 

I prefer the Z quad in general, and that one is set up well for trail riding with the full skids and nerfs. The Pred is a nice machine, but Polaris has replaced it with the Outlaw and even that has now been discontinued. Z and Raptor are current production. Earlier Preds(pre '05) don't have reverse. Not a deal breaker to me, but it is for some. While I am generally a Yamaha man, the 350 is really '80s tech with a fresh paint job. Not a bad machine, and a decent recreational/trail quad, but not in the same league as the other 2 power or suspension wise.
