Props on one hell of a 4 stroke if you are beating a cub. My 250r will run with a mild cub but, there really isnt anything else I can do to it and still be able to ride trails. I'm in the process of trying to sell my raptor so I can build me a drag only atc 250r. Sorry Im a honda fanatic.

No, No Please speak your peace. I drag my machines every other weekend for the past 5 yrs. I build my own motors. I race in the open class with 270cc machine and do quite well. If you want I'll shoe you a blaster that WILL hand you your ***

Predators are underrated big time. The 500 was bad azz the 525 is even more of a threat... My money is on the Predator.

All you have is a pipe and K&N? Ha! You talkin smack to me? Do you have any idea how bad you would get embarrassed? I raced a 450r yesterday, a fellow like you, talkin out the side of his head,,,,he had the following done that he would tell[img][/img]orted head, 13.5 to 1 piston, stage 2 hot cam, curtis sparks full exhaust, lightweight fly wheel, 42mm fcr carb. He lost evey race. I give him the go, run from a roll, give him 2 bikes. I drag race. Not whoopty do race. All I and most others who drag race care about is who wins in a straight line. You know what you sound like? A nascar car guy telling a drag racer that he will beat him on a nascar track. Duh! But put the nascar on a drag track. So come on fast guy, drive on down here and line up next to me on a sand drag strip. Your little expensive shocks and pretty axle wont help you when your getting sand blasted by 435cc. Also a note, I have to run down many of the bikes I race, I'm on crappy 7 paddle haulers. So....I'm not gonna go back and forth with you anymore because this is childish. I have more fun when the smack talkin can be settled.</end quote></div>
first of all those 450r are not made to drag race they are made to baja and track ride. and btw if all you do is drag race why did you not buy a 2-stroke everyone know they are better for drag racing? i used to have a drag trike but realized flat groud off-roading is for sissys. mayeb ill just have to talk to the friend i sold my cr-500 trike to so i can show you what a real drag machine is.

Now there you go. Thats a true drag machine. Be easy on the sissy thing though, I do my fair share of agrresive woods riding and hill shooting as well. I just enjoy the competition of drag racing

I bought a machine that can do everything well and still be reliable. I trail ride, mud ride and drag race. You can't do that with a two stroke drag bike. Like I said before, look stock, do everything well and carry a big stick. You wanna start talking about someone elses ride to race me like a sissy then my neighbor has a drag banshee that makes well over 100 hp. YOUR GETTING OFF THE SUBJECT HERE BUDDY. I originally replied to let everyone know of the Z400's potential...Not to claim it as being a world beater. You are the one who started on me with saying you can outrun me. Ok. You wanna challenge me with your predator, come right on down. I will embarrass you, on my own bike. I'll even bring a bucket for you so you can pick up your poolaris parts that tend to fall off at random. There is a reason you see so many yfz's. 450r's, z400's, and 400ex's and hardly any predators. I think I have seen 2 maybe 3. Next................
