I have been looking at 2005 predator along with z400s,raptors,and yfz's. im looking for something extremely relaible and a lot of fun. if i bought the pred would you expect trouble out of it? most of my money goes to keeping my car running so i wont have a whole left for it. href="http://madison.craigslist.org/rvs/639892518.html"> any opinions would be appreciated i dont want to end up with a maitenence nightmare!

 

I owned an 05 preddy, and now have an 07 TL Preddy. I love them. I have had no problems with either of them. I wouldn't buy an 03 or 04 as they had shifting problems and no reverse. In 05 they made some changes that improved it greatly. It appears to be lightly used and a good price. It must have low hours? Take a good look at the frame just to make sure there are no cracks, etc. and ride it for sure. I think the preddy is very reliable. I'm sure someone out there has had a bad experience, just as they have with the other atv's! I would go for it if you like the look and feel of it!

 

I Did, its in great condition, after leaving my v-twin i was throughly impressed with single cylinder power.
