I wouldn't buy a Pred right now just because I believe that next year they are going to be coming out with a newer version of it. And the YFZ is a very good machine, so if you need one now I'd go with the YFZ. But if you are a Polaris fan you could always wait until next year and see what they have.

Seriously, the Predator is a very solid machine. Been around for about 4 years now and have been getting better every year.

Never said anything was wrong with the Pred, I just wouldn't want to buy a brand new one right now and then 6 months later it get replaced.


And don't make me bust out the 110![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

On the other note, every manufacturer changes things every year, just that some years are more drastic than others. Look at what Yamaha did with the Raptor...major changes.

And there was quite a few 660 owners p!ssed because they just bought a 660 a few weeks before the 700 was introduced.


What's that? Uh-oh...it's the 110 firing up![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Yea, kind of like I'm not happy about the new LE Predator...that thing is HOT HOT HOT...best bet, get a brand spankin new '06 and run the crap out of it for a year. Then trade it in on the new hottest thing next year. Hit the lottery or have some cash though cause that strategy is going to cost ya. Either that, or never buy one because something new will be coming out next year.

And I ain't afraid of you either Moto. I got the key to my neighbors Yamoto 150, and I'll go get it if I have to...believe that!!! Sucker wheelies on demand...
