Sounds like the 05 could be real nice. This is from another forum.


just a fews weeks ago i sold my 03 raptor 660r and got the new 05 predator yesterday after noon we all went riding, my pred has a BIG GUN RACING. exhaust on it. anyway my dad got the new blue and white 05 z400 with a yoshimura slip on saturday after noon and my buddy has a 04 yfz 450 with a gytr piped and jetted...and i draged my dad 1st it was nothing the new pred takes off so quick now ..u guys will be like holy sh*t its just awesome i beat him best 2 out of 3 easy by about 5 or 6 quads....and i also raced a dvx but it was even easier...then i thought maybe i can stand a chance with the 450 so im like hey tony lets do it he pulls up and i got the hole and smoked him by about 3 quads, he was like hey i got stuck in 2nd so im like ok...so we do it again i do the same thing but it was about 1 or 2 quads it was awesome i was so happy....he goes dang that thing is quick.... so im goin to have to say the 05 pred is sweet .......oh forgot to tell ya the very same yfz killed me in a drag on my raptor i even wanted a yfz for awhile after that but i have to say i love this new pred... and i need to change my name lol

 

I take it that is the standard version and not the Troy Lee????

 

Thats awsome, i am glad to here that honestly. But i have the same question was yours standerd or not?

 

whats makes you think that?


if you read a little slower,youll see he said it was from a different forum,meaning its not his machine..

 

I don't think the Troy Lee's are out yet, anyone seen one at their dealer yet?? (05)

 

i didnt think either were out yet,but im probably wrong..

 

It was the standard version. And yes they are out. Not all dealers yet, but should be in the next week. Plus this is not my Pred.

 

I was at my dealer Saturday and he had a standard version on the floor but I think he said the TLD's were later October. I want the trans ratio numbers on the TLD to see the difference.

 

GE,have you been up to keene motorsports yet to see if they have them in?

 

I asked a dealer in Flagstaff AZ about the 05 TLD and he said late Oct also.
