Pretty much everything you'll need will initially be available directly from your dealer. The factory brochure has everything. Skid protection, swingarm ,a-arm, nerf bars. Performance chain choices. Drop in K&N filter. Six different sprocket choices. SWWEEEETTT Walker Evans custom shocks. A re-labeled White Bros. slip-on silencer. And lots and lots of pretty sharp Pred sportswear. Already been sportin' my hat....They really listened!!!!!


Ken...here goes another commercial, ##$% can't wait!!!!

Why would you want more mods?This bike is 75mph+ right out of the box.They say that the onlt thing that compairs to this bike is cannondale and bombardier.This one IS up with the big boys.At this point with these 3 bikes it all depends on the rider!This bike is bad to the bone.I rode one at a dealer track.This thing is fast!!!

Cool you rode one. How was the seat? Was the tank plastic bothersome as its rumored to be? Anyone have an idea when they be getting the bikes in?
Did ya pop any wheelies? How'd it do at that?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] And where'd this 75 mph top speed come from?

I just don't get the "funky plastic" comments from the magazines. If someone would take a moment to look at modular "futuristic" design concepts, this thing is sweet. The reason the plastic is like this is to VERY easily remove the front for maint.. Detroit has been applying this modular design to concept cars for years. During my ride, things were perfectly comfortable. Spot your prey, take aim, pull the trigger (squeeze the throttle). Frankly I could care less about what anyone, or any mag states about this machine. Mine will be getting the nerfs, front clickers, swingarm/a-arm guard, and K&N. Other than that, this thing totally fits my "needs" and wants. THANKS FOR LISTENING POLARIS!!

Ken....who buy the way started taking inventory of all the fasteners I'm gonna change out with titanium ones....oh yea, I forgot that add-on.hehe

As with all machines, people are gonna find out something wrong with it that they dont like.This bike handles corners at high speeds with no problem.You dont even have to lean much into the turns to keep the wheels down.Handles like a dream.So much power.Seat is comfortable,plastic didnt bother me.The only thing that i saw that i didnt like was the cheap looking polaris exhaust.The bike looks greatexcept for the exhaust.When you look at it you will understand.AND AS FOR THE 75MPH they did a shoot out against all the top bikes Preditor,Raptor,Z400,Honda400 ETC..It did 0-60 in in 5 seconds toping out at 75 mph,Raptor was second. 0-60 in 7 seconds.the rest were not even close.They say its right up with the cannondales $ bombardier as far as handeling and speed.BANSHEES ARE THE PAST AND THE PREDITOR IS NOW!!!My dealer is getting his in Sept 15th.And already on hold for people.

Im not bashing banshees cus i used to have one and I NEVER SAID ANYTHING about modded banshees.You can mod anything to go faster than something else including the preditor.Maybe a modded banshee will be faster than stock preditor but you can mod the preditor to.Banshees are fast but over all they say the preditor is better.

Your dealer is getting one in Sep. My dealer said they won't be in until Nov. Hopefully your right, I don't know if I can wait another 2 month's.
