Default yes or no to preditor

I am in the market right now for a new quad
I am leaning toword the predator. I just want to know if everybody out there is happy with the one they purchased.
What are the pro's and con's about yours.
I think it's time to step up from my 85 lt250r
it's fun and all but i would rather have somthing i could ride rather than work on all the time

I say No, at least not until you learn how to spell it lol


Get it and you won't be sorry. I love mine, plain and simple it's bad ***!

Pros: power, looks, speed, handling all in one package.

Cons: All other sport quad owners think Polaris is crap, until you smoke 'em, no wait that's a pro lol

Do it!! My son has the 03 Pred, only wish is that he had reverse, newer ones do however. Very strong out of hole and quick if you can get traction. Front end doen't lift as severe as other brands upon hard holeshots, stays a little flatter trying to go forward not upward, ie. quicker, but still need good traction. bob...................

there very nice quads, i love mine. the 2006 predators have an upgraded 52 horsepower motor, over the 48 horsepower ones. jetted, piped and no airbox, these quads REALLY come alive.

Cons: Weight, Fit/Finish quality, Oil change required every 10 hours - Full Synthetic (3Qts @ $8 Qt) $$$$

We do mostly trail rideing, not a lot of hard acceleration so we have extended the oil change interval. We installed an hour meter in the air box cover and change between 15 to 20 hours depending on running conditions. The more dusty, the harder the engine is pushed, or a lot of short run sessions we change closer to 15 hours otherwise closer to 20 hours.... bob..................

I would go for the Outlaw it is more comfortable than the Predator on long rides.
