the predator out handles the raptor, I'll give you that. Thats it though!! nothing else!

 

Predator03, you taLK alot of S%&T to be in the Yamaha Forums, why do you go preach your "PREDATORS ARE AMAZING"
bs to some other forum!!!!Go to polaris where they might actuaLLY care!!!!. Im not putting polaris down, they make a hell of a utility line-up(and im not forgetting that the scramblers are good for what they are) but when they decided to build a machine to ride with the big boys, they should put some more R&D into it and tried not to make it look like a little kids toy space ship

 

HEY HEY HEY now the predator does not look like a little kids toy spaceship. why would u say something like that it looks just as different as the raptor. or the banshee. i mean come on. i think polaris was just trying to come up with something different, like the rappy or the banshee. so dont be raggin on the way it looks, it looks pretty tight to me, and so does a raptor. and do u know why CAUSE THERE DIFFERENT. and i think polaris did a pretty good job of hangin wit the big boys considering stock to stock with same skill level rider it beats up the big boys. lol no offence cause i aint raggin on no quad here, i lovem all. so dont be puttin somethin down ok. aiight-PEACE-[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Well on a sidenote, I have decided that I'm going to buy a new banshee (well its a 2001 but has lived at the dealer due to low sales).
So I'm gonna mod the hell out of it and probably keep it for the rest of my life, as I dought that there will ever be a new 2 stroke that has a aftermarket following like the 'shee.
I plan on getting DMC pipes/exhaust,Noss Head,Single carb conversion,home made aluminum intake box with a K&N filter,cut the front fenders, reverse the rims on the front so that it is wider and get some spacers for the rear. Then run the hell out of it till she gives then make a 370 long rod motor.
Oh and of course I will use aircraft stripper then polish all aluminum parts.

By the way I found the www.bansheehq.com site quite useful, I hope that this combination will be enough to fight of the new yzf450 that my bro will have within the month (assuming his kodiak will sell)

 

ha ha ha....."well on a side note". This was your thread. Guess we kind of turned it into a predator bashing thread didnt we. Sorry about that. It kind a got carried away, and I'll take some responsibility for that!
Congrats on picking out your new quad. I'm sure you wont be disappointed. The banshee is a good machine, I use to have one. Have fun out there ridin around. Better watch out for your bro though......ha ha. It will be fun though. You guys both have very fast machines. It will be good competition between the two of you! Later bub!

 

 

hahaha I'm stoked,
This will be the first bike I have ever bought new[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
hahahaha even if my bro's bike is faster, I still will have more cahounies than him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Anyway lets all try to get along

go to performance chart 1. to c comparison of bumpsteer.

 

I would buy the Banshee, I've ridden a lot of other quads including the Preditor and I can tell you I wouldn't give up my Banshee for any of them.

 

I'll bet you a million dollars that there are not a quarter of the people from the Polaris side that post on here compared to the Polaris side. In fact sometimes I think Im posting in a Yami forum just cuz of the whole swarm of Yami guys in our forum. I dont think you have any right to say that its funny how we end up over here!!!! You are a true jackass

jack·*** ( P )
n.
1. A male *** or donkey.
2. A foolish or stupid person; a blockhead: “You've acted like an irrational jackass and it's time you stopped” (Margaret Truman).



I take it they are describing you in the second definition! Enjoy. Go ahead say something stupid back. I enjoy getting a good laugh here and then. Remember boys laughing is a good thing and can be really healthy as well.

Adults are often under the assumption that something must be funny to laugh rather than using humor to find something funny in everyday occurrences. The ability to use humor, like many skills, can be further developed.

Children laugh approximately 80 to 100 times per day. By the time we reach adulthood, we laugh only 5-6 times per day. You only need to watch children to appreciate the relation ship between humor and enjoying life. Children will laugh at anything! If you ask them, "what`s so funny," they may say something like, "he looked at me!"

The development of a "funny bone" is essential for long-term health and wellness. Laughter enhances T-cell production, which boosts the immune system. Studies with cancer patients have demonstrated that those who watched funny movies and used laughter had better survival rates.

Laughter produces the release of endorphins that improve mental health. It releases toxins from the system and provides for improved cardio-pulmonary function. This system release is felt after a period of intense laughter. You may actually feel exhausted and extremely relaxed after laughing heartily.

Proverbs says, "A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones." Humans are designed to laugh and use humor to balance their lives.

1. Make a conscious effort to find humor. Identify five humorous things or events each day. Tell the stories to others and allow yourself to laugh. Often, what is frustrating at the time makes a great story later.

Laugh at least six times per day. Do not wait to feel like laughing. If you laugh more, you will feel more like laughing. The old saying, "take the body, and the mind will follow," works for laughter, too.

Rent funny movies. Utilize the "classics" to give yourself a laugh. Allow yourself to loosen up, relax, and laugh. Watch with a friend and see who can laugh the longest.

Spend time with children. Children have a natural capacity for curiosity, excitement and humor. Seeing the world "through the eyes of a child" will increase your humor quotient.

Play each day. Make time for more than just relaxation, make sure you play. It could be a practical joke at work, a funny story, a cartoon on the bulletin board or a water balloon fight with the kids.

Remember, life is not a dress rehearsal. This is a live performance.
