Default Well I've gotten to ride my buddies Predator

All i can say for handeling is WOW. This quad is awesome in that department. I can make that thing fly and it just sticks to the ground. Polaris did a great job on that. And it also feels very clean in the air. But there are some things i don't like. The biggest problem i have with it is that dumb plastic that just ends half way up the gas tank i keep smacking my knees on it. why in the world did they just have it end right there and have those little pointy edges. it's not a big deal but were i sit my knees are just behind that plastic and when i get pushed forward they hit it.
Other then that i really like the machine. The one thing i missed most about my Raptor when i was riding the pred was the torque, the pred has got great zip but not as much torque.
Well i'm done mumbling now.
Just wanted to let you guys know I think the pred is a kick @ss machine.

Thanks for the note Blackraptor.....it is a great machine, not as much torque as the rappy but it does have power.....gearing can help the bottom end a lot too....I have the same problem with my knees and those damn plastic things(thinking about just taking them off!!!)....obviously no one here rides with their legs, my dealer says I must ride like a motorcycle rider.....but other than the plastic peices, I can't complain one bit.....it has been the best machine I have ever owned....

Thanks for the input blackraptor....I agree exept I dont have the front fender problem, my knees never hit them...I think soon ill be changing to 13 front/ 38 rear gearing setup for more bottom end though cause I do know what you mean by low torque.
