Guess there was a supposedly box stock Predator running a close second into the first corner this last weekend. The 1st place quad was an HPD power-valve equipped 345 lb screamer. Considering the HPD quad is pushing almost 90hp at the crank, that's pretty incredible that the Predator was nipping at it's heals.
Polaris engineers, name the time, I've got the beers!!!! Nice job. Did that rhyme? Yikes!

Ken~
Where did this race take place last weekend? How did the Predator compare through the rest of the track? I too have to give credit to any machine that will hang even remotely close to a lightened, HPD power-valved quad!

I was told it was up at Brookston...up by Cloquet MN. I'll find out how it did the rest of the race.

This thing is sounding better and better. I sure am having trouble stopping myself from ordering one.

With all the testing this things been through....I'm normally against buying something first run, but I figure, if nothing else my order is the best way to tell Polaris thanks.


Ken....It's what I've been waiting for.

I can understand you buying one Ken, you have ridden it. I haven't even sat on one, so I have no clue how well it fits me. I am not real worried about parts failing. I would buy an extended warranty.

The Predator was equipped with the front add-on resevoir/clickers, nerfs, slip-on silencer....all available through your local Polaris dealer. #1 was a YZ426, #2 Rath Racing full mod 440+, #3 HPD race-quad, #4 almost box stock Predator. The Predator was being pulled a bit out of the corners, but was definitely making a race of it. THIS IS A BASICALLY STOCK MACHINE!!!!!! Hmmmm, a $5999 vs. $12,000 plus, and it's making a race of it. How many titanium fasteners could I buy for $6000?
