why come on here and say somthing so silly ds650 predator is a race quad. and i bet dirtwheels has the worst rider on the predator. i have raced 440 z they are no match for the predator. in drag racing and nether is the yfz. i will say the 453z is. but thats alott of money to. the yfz is fast for a little ways i no that. but it dont take long a the yfz is eating dust.

 

they do the same thing with honda, or with anyone else who pays them enough. its all about one company rep under the desk of another.

 

maybe the predator was supposed to be, but the z400 isnt

 

what do you care you dont own a predator or a z.

 

They should have put an 04' DS650 Baja X in the test. I think you all would have been surprised at the results. The 04' is head and shoulders above any previous year DS. It flat out whips them and anything else stock or slightly modded that comes its way, including the so called mighty YFZ. I think that the pred gets dogged to much. I personally don't prefer Polaris but the pred seems like a decent machine. The tranny problem seems to have been fixed for 04 according to Polaris. My Raptor buddies who made constant fun of me for buying a Baja X are now furious at the fact that my stock machine kicks the snot out of their slightly modded Rappys. I feel that a Pred gave me better races then the Rappy until about fourth gear when the Rappy started to out top end the pred.
