Default 2002 Raptor or 2004 DVX 400?

I am currently in the middle of trading my 1985 Chev 4x4 for a four wheeler. The guy interested had a 2002 Raptor and a 2004 Dvx 400. Which would be the better bike?

The Raptor 660 would be my choice. The problem with the DVX (same as the Suzuki LTZ400 and Kawi KFX400) is that engine has a bad habit of dropping valves when over-revved. They "solved" this problem by installing rev limiters that activate very early. This is proactive when trying to stay at the front of the pack!

Unless your truck needs alot of work, the truck should be worth more than either quad. Just guessing since I haven't seen them, those quads are probably worth around $1800 apiece. I sold a nice '07 Screwlooski LTZ400 for $1800 recently and had it for sale for a while and almost had to beg the guy to take it. I had dropped the price from $2400.

It does need some work, a little stuff ebrake cable, speedo cable, horn yadadadaya. It has brand new 35" tires though lol. I decided to go with the Yamaha though I am a bigger guy so the bigger bike seemed the better choice. Thanks for the reply raptor450.
