Im going to buy a new quad this summer. i want something that accellerates quickly has good top end and handles well. i will be mostly riding in open fields and the occasional trip to the dunes. give me your thoughts. thanx

 

How large of a person are you ?

 

im 6 feet tall 185 lbs.

 

I just rode the predator for the first time ever today and I was dissappointed with it... It took forever to get to its top speed of 72 miles per hour, the raptor accelerates the fastest along with a banshee and DS650, those are my three picks and that is what I would definitely consider!!

What's your budget like? You talking new or used?

 

Wait to see what the new Yamaha 450 looks like on june 5th!

 

Looking for new, from 5000 to 6500 top dollar

 

If you're just in open fields and dunes and don't ride trails get a banshee if you want to haul some serious tail. A raptor sure ain't a bad choice neither. The v-force would probably be the fastest stock except for maybe the banshee but the v-force is a lot less maintenance and hassle. No mixing gas and all that annoying crap. If you like to shift your own gears though it won't be for you. I just like it's potential. I'd go with the v-force or raptor and maybe a banshee last but I'd find a cheap used banshee they're the same machine they were from years ago.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
