The front steering on the Predator is the best design I have seen. It is great on rough terrain. It is a very fast bike off the showroom floor. The stock motor is 40+ hp where the raptor is 35 hp. Stock for stock it beats Raptors.
But, it is uncomfortable to ride. You are all hunched over and feels like you are riding down hill and has a heavy front old shool quad feel. No reverse. You can't do much about that.
It is easier to extact more power out of the Raptor cause it's a 660, it is more more comfortable and rides nicer, and with some $80 rear wheel spacers, the raptor corners great. If you dont like the light front end on the Raptor, add an extended swinger for $400 and you have the best trail quad out there.
I'd go with the Raptor 660.
And...If you are comparing to the Raptor 700, then its a no brainer.

I'll agree with you on the 700 though, that would be a much tougher decision.

Want to make sure everyone is on the up and up. Only the 2005 and newer Predator's have reverse. '03 and '04 do not in case you are looking at used.
What kind of riding are you planning to do? There are a lot of us here that have spent much seat time on many different quads and they all fit a little different niche. What do you plan to use it for?
