I am sick of the bitching about hard seats and kick starts! Are you a bunch of little girls? You shouldn't be on quads if you can't stand moving your leg up and down or sit on a seat that is a little stiff! Get over it people. And if you want proof about the R being a contender...go in the Honda forum and watch those 2 videos, the R and YFZ both have a pipe and paddles, they are almost even, and the Pred has a pipe, paddles, and several other engine mods....

 

For you lazy ones, here they are:

R vs. YFZ

R vs. Pred

The R had a terrible launch...one of Honda's mistakes, HIGH GEARING down low, all he has to do is change the front sprocket to a 13 tooth....

 

At least Honda was nice enough to make a cool looking tail light so the competition can look at someting while its losing...lol, just kiddin

 

watch the predators roost. the movie was put out by honda or sumtin its a fake.

 

what are you talking about

the predator is roosting the whole time

 

There will always be excuses...

 

If you listen to it the predator is the one with the pipe so you can here when he's on it and when you see them in the beginning they are both roosting then as they go buy you still hear the predator on the gas then after they go buy you can see them both roosting again and you can hear the predator guy on the gas

 

I don't know which one is faster, but to say the 450r is that much faster based on ONE video is stupid. I'm sure your going to see many video's of Preds beating 450R's and vice versa. To many verables in drag racing, mods, tires, proper shifting, and most of all, rider experience.

 

im not the only one that noticed it his roost does stop more than once like he was letting the 450r go by him. but i cant wait till see the videos of the predator beatin the 450r and see what u guys say.

 

One thing ive never understood is why you guys in the States have such a downer on polaris especialy when its an american brand, to the rest of the world your seen as being very patriotic, seens strange that it doesnt extend as far as polaris,

the pred is quite new to the Uk but seems to be making a very good impact over here, good results in some of the races, the guys who look after my Zilla deal polaris and suzuki, and i havent decided wich i want yet, but there putting there riders on polaris for the coming season
the only thing putting me off the pred is that its £1000 more than the Z400, and for a rider with my limited ability im not sure its worth the extra, but ill get a ride on both before i decide[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
