Well, I dunno... I'm a big guy (6'2" and around 270) and I'm an inexperianced rider (only a month on my Predator and a couple years on utilities) and I think the Predator pulls pretty strongly. I'll agree that it needs lower gearing for the woods, but it certainly isn't lacking one bit in the power department!

 

i dont care what anyone says my brother got a predtor like 3 months ago and he races is friend on a banshee and is other friend on a raptor its pretty close in all the races but i think the pretor is really good u most of just got some kind of promblem cause my brothers drives great.in my oppinion keep the bike or try to make the dealer fix it
