So here it is about a year after the predator comes out and has its grave dug by the raptor, and today Yamaha shoves it in the hole and covers it with dirt ( the new 450 came out). Why did they even bother creating the predator?

 

why did you even waste your time posting? you really think us riders wanna waste our time arguing back? enjoy what you ride, dont bash other ppls rides...

 

Hossblur, You're an IDIOT and oviously never rode a predator.

Has its grave dug by the Raptor? How so? The (post 02) Raptor is a fine bike, but the Ped is in a different league as far as handling goes. Personally I hope the yzf does well, the more compettion the better. How bout you grow up a little Hossblur

 

Actually I have ridden a pred. Rode it, the suzki/kawa, and 400ex then bought the rappy. The only advantage the pred would have had was in MX, yamaha just took care of that!

 

My buddy just got a Predator about three weeks ago. I'll tell you this right now that bike has got some power. This coming from a Banshee pilot. It really surprised me. I think it's time to get out of the '80's and jump on the thumper band-wagon. I'll be stopping by the Yamaha shop tomorrow to see it I can get on the waiting list for this 450.

I think the Predator has found some competition!

 

The quad isn't even out yet, and jr just couldn't wait....like they said, ride what you want, they're all good, and most of all....grow up.

 

Modquad,

Hope that shot wasn't aimed at me. I'm a Yamaha guy trying to stand up for the Pred..... is 29 grown up enough for ya?

 

No Loadtoad, sorry I should've specified, it was at Hossblur. Local Preds are selling for $5499...for $1200 more, it had better have titanium in the valvetrain. Should be fun, ride what you like, and join a club.
