Before you start bad mouthing the Pred, why don't you go to exriders site and see all the 450R frames that are breaking.

Did you see on the Polaris web site about the HP to wait ratio. To me, it seems a little far fetched. I e-mailed them and asked what they did to it to get 50hp, and all I got was to ask my dealer. Yeh, like there going to know. I came close on getting a 450R, but with all the frame breakage and that Honda isn't for now warrentying them, put a red flag up for me. My brothers frame on his 04 Pred broke near his rear shock mount. ( had rear shock to soft) They are giving him a new frame plus labor. But told him this will be the last one for him. They told him to get a better rear shock if he plans on riiding hard anymore. But still they warrentied it. That's a big reason I'm going to get the 05TLD.

the polaris warrenty people are great... i had ALOT of help with all my problems with my pred. there is no company out there that will cover what polaris does. i havent seen the the claims yet... but i do not beleive 50 HP... because they changed no motor parts or anything... so that means my 03 would also have 50 HP... but i am interested to see what kind of reply you get back...

as for the honda, i love it... it is a great machine... i almost bought one... but this guy coming in here called me a BS'er aint cool... (different thread) so i had to lay down the smack.
