Maybe I'm missing the point here but didn't Sparks 465EX beat up on most of the Raptors and DS's at FSW I? http://www.glamisdunes.net/4stroke_wars_2.mpg

It wouldn't surprise me to see another EX in the top 3 at FSW '03. I don't know the full capabilities of the Predator, but I'm sure there is alot of hidden power in there. Never under estimate the possibilities. It's to early to judge the Predator at this time. One thing is for sure, someone will make it go fast!

Sporty you know I'm always in for a little dragging. I'm sure Bubba and I will be down to your neck of the woods sometime next year.

 

Pudjumper- you are right about the sparks. I believe that quad was not very duneable. It had no front brakes, lightened this and that. Plus it outran a trinity 686. LOL

 

Pudjumper's 465 actually ran real good at little sahara a couple of months ago, although it was a good 50ft behind that 411 Polaris at the end of a drag. Still getting the bugs worked out.

 

Well good another company finally makes something worth typing about, and I would really have to see this to believe it, but possible, very possible. Whoever posted this just got a war started somewhere, way to go.

 

Thanks to Bubba and epoxy it wouldn't have been running at all that weekend.LOL. I'm still working on the bugs and I've not ridden since the LS trip. Caught up in house mods.

 

Pudjumper,My brother-in-law got a new Predator Christmas eve. We were doing hole shots on Christmas day in the front yard. It runs good the first 50ft, then my stage one walks off. I'm sure you'll get to see it the first warm days we have at St Joes. We need to plan some road trip races.

Hey Jeff, we do need to plan some trips. A Lil Sahara trip could start things off in the spring. My son just bought a 03 Banshee and is ready to go. Already has mods ordered for it. hehe. Do you think the Predator would keep up with Joshes HMF piped Raptor? I know the Stage I took the piped Rappy pretty easily. I want to do a Aledo trip sometime soon for it sounds like there are a few fast 4-strokes roaming around there.

 

Count me in on that Aledo trip. And as soon as good weather breaks we will be a lil sahara. cant wait to whip up on some unsuspecting wheelers.he he. Bubba

 

i'll believe it when i see it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

I think it would be a good race between Joshes Raptor and Carys Predator. Joshes bike runs better than most stock, piped Raptors. I'm afraid that the Predator would be in trouble untill he doese a pipe and jetting.
