Might be the same supplier but not a Bombardier. One it would have a Rotax engine in it. Two Bombardier all ready has a big bore ATV. If they are going to come out with a new sport ATV it would be in the 440cc class. The Predator has a FOX rear shock that Polaris uses

I don't know but here are a few things I thought of while looking;

remote rezzy shocks seem like a highend manufacurer maybe Husaberg(sp?), just a thought

The front bumper looks identical to the GYT-R on the Raptor, I noticed this in the movie. The front a-arm gaurds look like the GYT-R as well

The pictures I saw of the prototype Polaris had rack and pinoin steering that I didn't see here.

Three differnet ways to get one does sound like C-Dale but its too soon for a new one of those

Polaris can't make one without floorboards

The design of the front part of the frame looked odd to me

Who ever it is looks like they have a nice quad

You guys will probably think Im crazy. But is it possible that the makers of the Predator 500 might be a company we have never heard of?
There is a company called Mosquito that makes kids atvs called the Predator 50 and Predator 90. Don't you kinda think they would have copyrighted the name "Predator" for an ATV since they are making them? Just for curiosity I have e-mailed them asking if they are responsible.
You can think Im crazy. But remember, Cannondale went from bicycles to dirt bikes and quads. So anything is possible in my opinion.

My thoughts on the Predator 500 are that it looks like a Cannondale and a Raptor got drunk one night and hooked up and this is the end result. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
