When I had my Predator, I could not of asked for a better atv, and at the same time my brother had a Z-400, and he really liked it to. And now with all the up-dates to the 04 model, the Predator seem's even better. Well my brother is looking at getting a new ride this spring. At first he had the Predator in mind, but with all the hype on the YFZ, he's thinking of going that route now. He want's to get the most out of a stock atv that he can. He want's to race in the GNCC stock class, and want's to have the fastest trail atv out there. The 450R is not in the mix due to no electric start, so it's between the Predator and YFZ. He can get the Predator for $900 less then the YFZ. So he wants to know, is the YFZ worth the extra, or use the extra money saved to get the Elka front shocks, nerf bars, and bumper for the Predator. In the stock class, he can't do anything to the engine, so he can't put the money into the motor. So is the YFZ worth it or not?

 

if he is pretty much just gonna race than yes i do think it is worth it.. th epred is nice.. but to race machine like the 450.
