Ya I noticed you dont even own a Preddy. I guess there's a difference between a die hard yamaHA fan and someone who truley knows his crap. Well anyways go ahead bash all you want on the Polaris. It wont get you anywhere. You'll just get laughed at harder. sweet

He probably could. He's also a professional racer and must have some compelling reasons for choosing the Predator. Something to think about, eh?

14Mins, I personally witnessed a 100% pure stock Pred run a 8.91 @ 72mph in the 1/8 mile last night, on a track that is known for being a bit slow on ET"s. Stock Banshee's, were mid 9.8's a yamaha 450 ran a best of 9.60. We also tested a 580 with a trail port job, everything else stock, set up for TT racing. It ran 8.60's at 76 mph with 2.0 60 ft. times. needed a higher gear ratio and was a little heavy with all the TT stuff on it. There were pipped and jetted Banshee's with rad valves, boost bottle's mostly running in the 8.90 range with one running 8.50's @ 79mph. All these bikes were on factory tires and stock swingarms. I have seen several stock Preds run at this track and they all were in the 9.20 to 9.40 range. We will be dynoing this one and checking cam timing and timing curve to see why it's faster than anything stock we have seen yet.

Ridley, Ridley, almost sounds like the Riddler....were you in Batman? Why do you persist in venting your frustrations? I sense a lot of pent up anger....maybe it is the dreaded Predator envy. Have you taking one for a rip? The shops that have long standing Polaris Performance products are taking their time making sure everything is just right. Just like how long it took to obtain over 85 HP from the single cylinder 400 two stroke, the max HP of this motor will surface with time. Do like the rest of us, go buy one, and have a blast riding it, while you wait for the mods to be perfected. You see, it's that easy, no need for stress.

Sp700Racer, do you have any time slips for your pred?? It would be interesting to see what that runs vs stock

SP700- thanks for the info. You seem to be one of the few predators on the speed wagon.


Wonder why Rath rides the predator??????? It is the money, he could care less what he rides. He is rather smart for going the polaris route IMO from a business sense.
