Default Big guy and a Predator?

Hey Guys
I am thinking about getting a Predator and have a few questions. It will be my ertra quad for my wife[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

But I am 6'4 and tip the scales at over 300lbs and am wondering if the Predator will be a ride that will be good for me? I dune ride most of the time in Oregon.
My wife is starting to ride more often but the kick of mt Zilla are to hard for her. But she looks good on it So I was thinking of the Predator could be something I can sell to her and also be a stock ride I can run around in the wood and mud in Washington.

What do you all think?
Thanks

We sold one to a guy who weighed in around 320. Turned the preload up on the rear shock, maxed out the resevior setting, & bolted on a 13t front sprocket....Another satisfied customer.

You should be fine with the Predator. I am 6'3" and about 275 and it has been great for me. I sat on the Yamaha YFZ and it felt too small for me so that is why I went with the Predator.
