Please, Do not buy the Raptor. The Honda is a good choice if name brand/4 stroke is what you are after. If you are looking for a race machine then start with a Kasea/LRX or a Dinli.

No raptor.....Go with the predator. I have seen stock ones stay with modded bikes before. The raptors stock suspension and stuff is horrible and havent seen it yet but just waiting for the Raptor to bounce a kid fast first.

suspension on the pred is awsome!! compared to the raptor. Very adjustable and the bike will handle alot of abuse!
Look at my pics.

there is no choice here! Pred all the way. The front suspension on the Raptor stinks. If you want a 4-stroke go with the Honda TRX 90. Have you looked at the Suzuki lt-80 ? In my book the suzuki is a great quad. My 6 yr old boy has a 2003 for joy rideing. It is stone stock and it flys. Tuff as a nail. And Mods are a dime a dozen. I just can't wait to start the mods for this one. Where we woods race the Lt-80's really take home alot of throphys. I like a 2-stroke myself. They have the power all the time. The 4-strokes are shifting all the time.1st is to low and then 2nd is to high. But this is just my 2 cents worth. It doesn't mean I'm right. I do like the Pred tho. And I'm not bashing the Yamaha. I like Yam's I Ride one myself. But the straight front end stinks on off camber places. And Dodge power said he hasn't seen a Raptor bounce a kid face first, I have plenty of times! I don't care if a Quad looks cool If it doesn't have what it takes to be a good quad then that is it.

    I have heard more good about the Predator and more bad about the Raptor. If you are wanting a 4 stroke semi, get the Honda 90. If you want an automatic 2 stroke name brand get the Predator.

    What would be a better quad for my son - The 90 predator (2 Stroke) or the Raptor 80cc (4 Stroke)
    Are the Raptors as fast as the Predators ?
    I have seen a predator go before
    I like the idea of a 4-stroke and semi-automatic transmission. I know the little honda is 90cc , 4-stroke and semi-atomatic - but it is not the nicest looking quad on the market - any help/advice would be great
    Thanks
