Honda or Polaris
I am wanting to buy a sports bike but don't know which to pick. I have narrowed my choices down to either the Honda 450R or the Polaris Predator. I like Honda, but I also like reverse.

I have to say that the Predator is the best thing in the Polaris lineup, but it doesn't hold a candle to any Honda! The Predator motor is Metric, but the frame and body are English.......now that's the sign of a company that really has it together!
The 450 is a fine machine, but if you are a tight trail rider, you would be better off on a 400EX or Z400. The 450 is geared tall, and does its best work on fast, open trails, and in wide open country.

Predator < 450r = YFZ 450
Preators have a reverse though, so that's somthing to concider.
