Default predator? sportsman

you are a smart man Sir. the predators are excellent bikes, not only one of the fastest production bikes out, but their very well built and come right out of the box with lots of goodies.

now as far as those 400ex's? a STOCK predator would smash a piped and jetted 400ex EASLY.

Predator TLD's can even beat Raptor 660's by a hair, though some refuse to belive it, its documented.

just bought my son a 05 predator 500 limited edition. Bought myself a 05 sportsman 400. Some of my son's friends say he should have gotten a honda 400ex because they are faster than his 500. How can this be 500cc vs 400 cc ? Can this be correct ? The salesman said the predator would blow the honda 400ex away . Was he just telling me that to make a sale ?

thanks for the replys

Theres no way a polaris predator is going to lose to a stock 400 ex. I have a pred and it smokes most other sportbikes. a 400 ex is nothing compared to it trust me on this one.

LOL, 400ex's are jokes!!!!!

My stock predator will smoke my bro's Kfx 400 that is jetted, filtered and has a full exhaust on it. Launching in first I beat him by 6-7 bike lengths, launching in second I make it around 9-10 bike lengths.
And on the Kfx he would smoke 400ex's that were no where close to stock.
There is a guy with a 660 raptor stock that lives down the road. Have to find him and smoke his *** too! He barely beat my bro's kfx the one night from a second gear roll.

Plus you can't go wrong with American made stuff.

Btw the sportsmans are one helluva machine!

Fuji Heavy of Japan makes the predator engine, as soon as they start puting the KTM 525 motors in that will change though. and just incase you dont know, KTM is Austrian.
