Hell no, I am 6'0 185lbs... I just don't like the low to mid range of the Predator but if they were to fix it, it would be one of the best quads ever!! Don't overlook my name, it is not what you all think... Heh heh heh heh!!

Well i think that the predator is a very impressive machine. YOu must have just ridden a lemon from the factory. Ill admit the predator is geared a little high but nothing a few hours of wrenching couldnt fix.

yeah, plus the one I rode looked like it had been rolled or something, the guy said that it was brand new out of the creight... Yeah, I'll believe that when my $hit turns purple and tastes like rainbow sherbert!!

LOL..i find this all amusing..
Well heres another plug..i bought my Pred this year..my buddy bought his 03 LE raptor a few months ago. Both stock..well i had mine geared down a bit..and i walk on him in 5th...basically i can pull on him in each gear..and as soon as we hit 5th, bye bye raptor. The Pred is by no means a weak quad! LOL. A friend of mine made a comment the other day about it being so quick.."no wonder, its a 700"..lol..i was like, no man...its only a 500! WTF? he like"that think WORKS for a 500!"
IT outhandles, out breaks, outjumps my buddys raptor. Sure it doesnt have the low end grunt of the 660, but it still hauls *** none the less. But what would you expect from a weak quad right! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

A buddy of mine that I ride with just picked up a Predator a few weeks ago. I was impressed witht the power it had. It's powerband reminded me of my Banshee so guess that's why I didn't notice the lack of low end grunt.

I agree with Ridley 100%. The more aggressive of a rider you are the more you'll like the predator. I really think it has the most powerful midrange and is the best handling quad period in stock form. Alot of people are having trouble getting the predators suspension setup right...I mean they don't have a clue how to set the shocks up. Gear it down a bit and get the suspension setup right and this quad will flat out rip.
