Default predator or yfz450

i currently have a pred, but its kind of heavy but it has lots of power, i was wondering if i should switch to either the yfz 450 or trx 450... are the 450 as powerful, reliable, is it a good overall switch..?

No stick with the pred! I have a ds which smokes them all out of the wholeshot and everything. I have done alot of racing with all the sport quads and it goes like this.(of course it depends on your mods)

Bombardier DS-650 Baja
Polaris Preditor 500
Raptor 660R
Yamaha YZF450R
Suzuki 450R
Honda TRX450R
400'S/Never

If you have the $$$$ go for the yfz and put a pipe filter on it and if u still have lots of money tear into the motor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Looks to me like someone just threw a bunch of names in the air and wrote them down in the order they fell. That's the funniest thing I think I've ever read on this forum.

Ya really! The zuki is a LTR450.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

As for the topic starter, If racing is in your future so is a 450 class machine.
"My" choice would be the TRX450R. The famous Honda reliability and handling is why.I raced a stock motored TRX at the Texac GNC. It had more power than I needed. I raced a modded TRX at the Cali GNC. It had way more than I needed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Never heard of a wholeshot. Holeshot maybe?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Since you said "wholeshot", Im assuming you're talking MX. So you're telling us that a DS, Pred, and Rappy would make better MXer's than 450's?

You are correct, there is some other things on this forum that would rank up there too. I just had to throw out some sarcasm in my comment about his rankings for speed.

I get amused by those lists. Especially when the person replying always owns the quad at the top of the list. Funny thing about that list, the one at the top is usually the one at the bottom where we run at.
