I have always been a hardcore Polaris fan a sport racing enthusiasts, but i have to decide which racing quad is right for me........
I want something that i can drag race with and still take the trails home..... i rode my cuz raptor and it was fine but i didnt like the top heavy on it.. i also rode my cuz banshee and i really like the quickness of it, but it didnt do so good on his track!!!

GIVE ME ADVICE PLEASE

 

I love my Pred for trail riding even without reverse and fun to drag with to!!! Oh ya welcome to the forum!!

 

out of those 3 id go with a pred.

 

i would have to say get the predator no regrets at all here.

 

out of your choices, likes, and dislikes about those sport quads, the pred fits right in your categorization hehe. go for the pred. try to get an 04 tho, some of the 03's out there had a few issues here and there.

 

thanks for your help
i'm a little more confident bout the Predator
i just need to know now what are the down sides of the Predator(if any)






All opinions accepted
THANKS

 

As a recent shopper of an ATV in the class your looking at, I will give you what I learned without biase(sp).

--The Pred and Rappy are both excellant quads. The specs are only slightly different, with similar results on user (magazine review) feedback. DO NOT get caught up in what people say in these forums, most will always give theirs the nod. Do your own research and test ride each atv. I honestly believe both are great ATVs.
-----------------------------
---Because you asked about Pred probs---------


From what I learned, the minor probs with the Pred have to do with rear end suspension and weight. Seems to bury the *** end in mud fairly easy. I think a few complaints about shifting also. All have been somewhat fixed in the 2004 model from what I understand. Many complaints about doing 'soft wheelies', as they seem hard to do to get over logs and such. Also think this has been addressed by making wheel base slightly closer.

The Pred is absolutely a top 3 choice in the open class, with the order varying because of individual uses.

 

Go with the predator man. You should be happy.

didnt the pred. have tranny problems?

 

yeah they did in 03 but they fixed it on the 04 models

 

I would actually say Polaris addressed it in the 2004 model. Yes in 2003 it was a problem. Yes they worked on the problem. Yes, some(not all) reviews say it is fixed. Some users say it is and some don't say it is fixed. Give it a year or so and we will actually know the answer.

Still a fine machine.....even though I decided to go another direction.
