I'd think mine was really great if it ever freakin' GETS HERE.

"It's 4:25 PM... do you know where YOUR Predator is?" Nope, not me.

So then don't judge it because it's the pre-production model. The finals aren't painted and the chain and shock issues were resolved.

Let's also remember that every new quad has first production year issues. Some are worse than others. Anybody remember the first year of the Raptor? Since Yamaha has a track record of NOT taking care of their customers, I chose not to take a chance again.

All I gotta say is BAD A$$!!! My dealer just got theirs in yesterday up here in Cleveland. As a matter of fact, I just got back. He started it up for me and man it sounds so sweet! I couldn't stop staring at it.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] hey now... I have a first year Raptor and it still works fine. Sure, it might blow the tranny once in awhile, or bend an axle when I look at it the wrong way, but that's the price I pay for having it in the year 2000. I did sneeze once and then the carb boots blew off, but I had a bad cold that day...

Just remember, Rob, you are buying a Polaris; and this company isn't known for its reliability or high-performance sport machines... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
