how come the magazines are comparing the predator to weak *** quads like 400ex, and won't step up to comparing it to a cannondale of any kind.predator sucks! cannondale speed rider

 

Want to know what's funnier than that??

The Predators that everyone has been testing have all been pre-production units.

The Predator looks good from what appears on paper, but i don't see it giving the Cannondale any competition in the power department. I may be wrong, but I just don't see it.

As far as handling goes.....that will depend on the rider more than anything else.

What amazes me is the price of this thing. My money is that they will do like Suzuki and keep it low for the first two years and then bump up the price. Right now, recognition is needed and you aren't going to get that by being new and selling a quad for the same price as another but with more potential.

Just my .02

 

Sorry guys but I have some news that might upset some.
We had a race in Tigerton,WI saturday Daryl Rath showed up with a Predator my buddy Bill Berger who beat Rath earlier in the year when Rath was running the KTM lost.Bill is running a cannondale now.
They ran 4stA rath got holeshot 2nd moto berger came from 3rd took second Rath first.
Dash for cash Berger ran his 250rframed 500 quadzilla motor 9th on start Rath got holeshot Berger got second.
Rath won $1200 in dash and more in 4st.
This is a pretty tame track 3 weeks they will be at a supercross style track hopefully Bill and the cannondale will beat Rath since Rath seems to be best at TT style tracks.
This race is being called Quad Olympics at Gravity Park in Chilton
TT,Oval,Supercross you have to run two of the events winners will then race 3rd time.Three sets of Elka shocks will be given away and at least a $2500 purse.I know for sure there will be at least three dales there Mine,Bills and one other guy.

 

Cannondale27, When is this race at Gravity Park going to be with the Predator there? Just wondering, go there once in a while to watch the races. Thanks.

 

Its called quad olympics I think it is on the 12 and 13th of oct.Check the website Fantasymoto.com.Rath said he was going to be there.
Stadium and flattrack are sat TT/MT sunday practice is at 9:00 am.
Stop in and say hi red toyota/black enclosed trailer I'll show you what the cannondales are all about programing and even a test ride.It will give you a comparison when you get the chance to try a Predator.Although from the looks of your sig it looks like your mind is made up.I think pete would let you back out of deal Ha Ha!

 

Cannondale27, We need to hook up some time. You go riding in this area or just up north? I ride with two 400ex's, my current scrambler and a raptor. I have no idea how to get into this to do private messages, but if you have yahoo messenger, my name under that is pro_x_predator. Hope to hear from you, we are going riding in about 20 minutes now!! lol

Where is Sports and Competition track located? Never heard of it. I work second shift, school at LTC in the mornings, so weekends are really the only time that I can go riding. Usually on Saturdays around 11. Well, let me know where that is and how a person can get signed up! Are you a member of the OHV club here in town? I was when it first got started, but nothing was going on, and I let my membership slip. I need to get signed back up, I heard that they are using that money to buy some land for a riding park. Not sure how true it is though.

 

I am vice pres of OHV club we put on three Harescrambles this year we will get land as soon as we can.Right now all the local sportsmans clubs are letting us put on the races on their land.Sports and Comp is just out of maribel there is a race there this sunday MX.
