450's are faster from my experiences to. I would get the Z400, or wait for the new z450

 

I suppose if I didn't own two predator 500's and race them, I would agree with you. I get beat by 450's and I beat the 450's... so I can't say either one is faster than the other, which would boil down to rider ability. The statement isn't a classic cop-out, just being honest with the facts.

The same arguement would apply to the Raptor 660, which both predators consistently beat. Can't say that's a cop-out, can you?

The 450's are a great bike. Just get the bike that best fits you.

 

Uhm you beat which 450 on the track????? Oh the white one, cuz there for an hour or two I was confused.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Hanneegan on the 25th, bring it!

 

You said I was pulling away from you at Florence didn't ya??? No not on the track, just going WOT on flat sand. Didn't a preddy beat ya at RMC in the open class? (I can't remeber the guys name). You'd beat the pants off me at hanegan, as you did at RMC. You're a good rider! You'd beat me on your wife's preddy too. This affirms what I said earlier about rider ability not the machine.

I'd like to race with ya more, riding with someone better than you makes ya better.

Not sure if I can make Hanegan on the 25th... I should go. We're planning on going to Castle Rock on the 2nd. Do you lower your machine for Hannegan?

 

Id pick the KFX out of the bunch, my favorite 400 and looks the best IMO.

 

Yeah slam it for that flat track, but leave it stock for the TT. That TT is nasty. Bill and I are gona do the FT, but I might bring the 400 for the TT. That will depend on the race acount. I'm draining that today, so I can get my 450 head off of some guys work bench.

 

you gurls don't know your head from the hole in the horses azz! Ain't no quadcycle faster than mine! I got a yammi ha and nuttin's faster than yo mouths! HA, I got the last laugh jerk weeds! Bring it sister![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]



My 87' LT230 is faster than your Kazuma!

 

ROFLMAO!!!! I've never laughed so hard before I read this!!! Damn that's funny.

Ok... meet at the bike rack after school, you punk-ars biotch!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

You know there is a lot of info that has been given to you. But, I think you should really consider what type of racing you are going to do, how old you are, how big you are. These are all important things that need to be answered before you buy. The two are pretty much the same thing, as for the Pred. You need to consdier what type of racing and how much strength you have to muscle it over the jumps to set up if you are considering MX. I started out with a Pred and now have a YFZ 450. In local competition I could run in the same class with the others, but at the nationals and ITP, you have to race in the open class - that puts you up against others with mods. I raced MX with the
Pred it was good on jumps , but it really needed more frame work. Plan on putting a gusset kit and powder coating it to strenghten the frame. I ran with stock suspension at first then added aftermarket parts. What I found out that the Pred had over the others was that it was good on long stretches and up hills. But most beat me out of the corners. I also had to body move it on jumps to set up. It's rear end slides better in the corners than the others. But again it is a heavier bike and that means more muscle to position it. The Pred is awsome in the dunes No matter what type of racing you are getting into figure some extra $$ on a-arms, shocks, gusssets, pipes and you know all the rest of stuff that it takes to get you set up for competition.

Good luck -

 

Oh well guys,none of your replys matter now that my friend let me ride his cr250. I want one of those!
