I saw this machine in action the other day. I was riding some trails in central Wisconsin when these guys blazed past me like I was standing still. They stopped a ways down the trial or I would have never caught up with them. These bikes are awesome!!! They said the Predator would be available in early fall. Has anyone out there seen the Predator in action? What were your thoughts?

I think it's a sure bet he works for whoever makes or markets the new quad. I did a search & all 5 of his posts are about it.

Me thinks RIPITUP is tied with marketing as well......which is great for us! More information about this exciting new quad is welcome. RIPITUP, do you have videos or action photos of the predator? Concerning the price, if the price is lower than the price of the $6,500 Raptor, Polaris will have a sales grabber. I sure hope these machines have been properly tested before release.....

For those of you who havent seen the preditor here it is http://www.predator500.com/default.asp
I have read about alot of people who have seen this quad all over the U.S. and these people have been all saying the same thing.
"It flat out hauls a$$" I've read that there are 7 Preditors that they are testing in all different terrains. Thats why they have been seen all over. But who ever is testing them is not telling who is manufacturing them. Everyone in the forums say its Polaris. Would it shock you if it wasn't?

how nice, 6 posts from you pertaining to the predator, one minute your wishing you had one and your trading in your bike, next minute you majically see them live and wind up getting smoked by them. Hmmmmmm. You remind of the chewlies gum salesman from the movie Clerks. Beat it you corporate *****, i'll take the pepsi challenge up any comp hill or sand dune with my DS. BTW sounds like your not sure what you own...


<< forget the raptor and 400ex, I saw the predator this weekend, its the sh*t. These guys were passing me on my raptor without any problem. >>





<< Good bye 400, i,m getting a predator. they said that it will be out by august >>



also im not even going to go into all the different dates and multiple times you have run into this prototype.
Nuff Said

I'm not going to start a brand war, but what about Cannondale?? It continues to amaze me what little respect that company gets for turning the sport-quad industry on its head!! I still don't see any other manufacturer producing fuel-injected, aluminum framed machines. The other companies better hurry - they're probably going to need fuel-injected engines by the end of this decade anyway to meet emission standards. Cannondale will have 10 YEARS on them by that time.
