I'd like to get a new or newer quad that's got decent power and is dependable. I've heard bad things about the Yamaha and Honda 450's having to go through the topend to replace rings fairly often like you would on a 2 stroke. I want something I can throw a pipe on and go and get several years of enjoyment out of with regular maintenance. What are your guys' thoughts? I was thinking a DS650 as I've heard they're bulletproof, but also very heavy. I was also thinking along the lines of the Raptors either 660 or 700. I've got to sell the Z and the 500 first, but just looking for your opinions.

2 guys here in town own DS650's and both guys would trade for for a Predator. I have ridden both and they are huge and take lots of strenght to throw around and have fun on. 660's are very fun machines to ride and getting very resonably priced, 700's are just that much better then the 660 but the price shows it. The one thing I know that is a problem with 660's is one way clutch for the starter, I know that with about $250 it is a permanent fix.
The one machine that will out do all of the mentioned is a Predator. Guy here in town has a 2004 Troy Lee Predator forsale, I think $2,500 would buy it. My old Predator is forsale also, it has been wrecked but still in good shape with very low hours.

What was damaged when yours was wrecked? Also, $2500 sounds like a d**n good price for a TL Predator. I won't be able to get another machine until I sell at least one if not both of these trikes. I just don't have the room. It's probably gonna be a while too, I just pulled the motor out of the 500 and have parts on order. Figured I'd order new waterpump seals and bearing while I have it apart since the seal was bad in the other waterpump. Always find the good deals when I don't have the funds/room to buy.

It was crashed when they were chasing coyotes. Another guy cut in front of him and they collided. As far as I know he needs a arms on one side, shock and front plastic.
