Roost.......I think they still make the 400's(called a trailblazer400 now)....but yeah they can scream if you want them to......


Another thing, that I forgot to add......(a weight issue) remember that the pred also has some pretty hefty rims/tires, which if you switch them out, you will loose some major weight there too.......I don't remember what they weigh( first thing that comes to mind is 13lbs, but don't know......I'm pretty sure GE4x4 would know though.....he has weighed everything)

Anyways......I'm not trying to start a brand war here, just sticking up for the pred.......I realize(and I think everyone here does) that the R is a great quad.....but I think we are all just wondering a little for what the 05 pred might be like......and I personally like to be the underdog, and pull up to the line with a "slow polaris" and then smoke 'em......


About the seat problem again......I have an 03(really a big dip)....and I have gotten used to it, but I'm working on a solution to cut about 1/2 to 1" out of the rear subframe to make it level.......I might also have to shave a little of the seat padding down too.......I'll keep ya posted on how it comes out.......Some one else did this(on another site just for predators) and he said it worked very well and was really noticable.......

 

go with the 450r...my friend has one and he rides the crap out of it and has had no problems with it so far.
