Default predator weight 500lbs??

I was looking at the new AUG dirtwheels and it says the predator is 500lbs but I think that must be a typo. How much does that thing really weigh? I sat on one and it looked too small to be 500lbs.

Here's one for your list. KFX700 515lbs according to Kawasaki. Yamaha 450 is 350lbs according to Yamaha. Anyway I wonder how dirtwheels let that one slip, some people may believe it.

In reality a Raptor weighs more like 420lbs because atv sport weighed some of these atvs and the raptor's wet weight was 7lbs more than the Predator. The predator and raptor both have the same size gas tank while the predator holds more coolant and the raptor holds slightly more oil. I wonder if the yfz450 actually has a dry weight of 350lbs.

Thanks!!

And yes Yamaha does claim the YZ450F to be 350LB's with "the highest power-to-weight ratio of any four-stroke ATV ever built."

I guess thats untill the Honda CRF450 quad with the Aluminum frame comes out in Sept. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I would put money on that being wayyyy toooo optomistic of a weight reduction. Let's get through the hype, and get some facts. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I was curious about the 500cc scramlber, polaris webpage says 571lbs dry. Maybe the 2wd is less but it doesn't say.
