YFZ-450 HP not too impressive
I found out on this forum some people got some of there there plastic replaced. I paid $160 My dealer, Super Bike Shop, refused to turn it in. The air box broke this weekend and I told him my old 400ex never had problems like this and it has been thrashed. The owner told me to go buy anouther Honda. I also had one of his air force kits and he has to alter the airbox for it. He adds anouther filter. The motor sucked so hard it pulled it out and digested it. I ordered new webbing for the factory nerf bars that i bought with the machine in march and I still do not have it. The originals lasted 2 months along with the front plastic. I also have a Ranger and when I bought it I bought a windshild kit for it. It tooks 3 months to get it but new ones came into the dealer with them. I think my dealer is a crook. And yes I am going to spread the word as much as possible because I am pissed off.

I personally like my piped YFZ better than the predator, because it's lighter, looks better in my opinion. It sits lower & runs better. And YES It beats predators all day long out at the pismo flats, Over & over & over again. I'm sure if you sink enough money in the predator you will beat it though.

I own a 500 predator and it is junk. It breaks something every ride. I bought the extended warranty and it is worthless. My dealer has refused to even turn it in to Polaris and says if he does, he will loose his dealership. As a company, they do not believe in customer service if they threaten to jerk a dealership over a warranty claim. DO NOT BUY A POLARIS PRODUCT
