My brother in law is looking for a good quad for his woman, she is a little gun shy about the raptor, and doesn't like his banshee, how is the pred? Does it have any common problems like the 01 raptor tranny or z400 frame cracks?

 

I love my pred but if she doesn't have some experience riding I would suggest a z400

 

My wife hated going to the dunes..... had an underpowered bike that was scary for her to ride.
Got her the predator and I can't keep her off of it! ( not that I'd want to)
She's the first one to say "Lets Go!" when I mention taking off for the weekend.
She is 5' 2" tall and like 108 lbs. and absolutely Loves that bike!

Only draw back is not having reverse....
But then again my wifes bike does have a reverse [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ....... Me.

 

No doubt!

 

Hoss, dealing with a similar situation, we opted to get a Pred for me and a Z400 for the family. I really think the Z is the way to go for her, for a great all around bike that is easy to ride - with nice usable power plus reverse. My wife, rides the Pred every once in a while, but would prefer the Z due to it's freindly, comfortable feel. I'm not worried in the least about frame cracks etc on the Z. That has really only happened in more aggressive-racing applications.
