The new polaris predator is going to be doing some testing on the hatfield mccoy trail this weekend. My c-dale dealer also sales polaris and he is going out with them. Me and a couple of my friends are going to try to find it and check it out. I hope they will accept a challenge to race. He said they are going to ride it hard and try to break it as some final testing. If I find it I will let you guys know how it stacks up to the mighty c-dale.

Let us know when you find out.

I figure if you find it and pull alongside.....he will be tempted to run you just so that the Predator doesn't look weak.

Give it a few stabs of throttle and be sure he hears how high it can go......LOL

Let's see how Fuji did on this piece.

I went out for a few hours and couldn't find them. I am going to check with my dealer and see if they showed up. They are supposed to be on the trail tomorrow too but I wont be able to get out and look for them. I guess I will have to take his word on how the two bikes compare until the predator hits the showroom.

I hope all you 'dale riders are willing to eat crow if the Pred. beats you guys and don't whine about it having a bigger cc motor. Let the bike come out before calling it a POS.

If it beats you be man enough to give it it's due.

thats my $.02

Iszdan,

Well, honestly....I don't need your 2 cents, I've seen the thing in action, and I'm not too impressed. So, I do have something to base my opinion on...

I was just trying to get people to understand that the damn machine isn't even out for sale yet so why bitch about it? I just hope you close your mouth if it beats your 'dale.

Read the post in the 'dale forum. It clearly states from a 'dale rider the Pred. beat a 'dale that night so it's possible you will be looking at the exauhst pipe of many.

I have not once said it WILL beat a 'dale. I say it might and then all you people talking garbage will look like fools, so chill a little.

Polaris had the predator trailer at Mt. Morris this weekend for the GNCC race. Its a pretty nice bike. Very roomy and the thing sounds sweet. The seat height is lower than it looks in pics and the bike felt long sitting on it, compared to a 400ex or Z400. The suspension is PLUSH. i took a few digi pics i will post them tomorrow.
