Pred 500 challenged me to a drag, am I scared?
it would be close... i dragged a raptor with a full WB and a K&N intake.. i was stock... he got me on the line because he could start in 2nd. but after that he never pulled away if anything i was catching up, i finished about 2-3 lenghs behind.

Predatorkick......
I see your from St. Anthony. Me and my riding group go up North to Wisconsin every year for a week of riding but this spring we might go South for some sand. Whats it like down there? Would in be worth the 20 hour trip? We would buy paddle tires, what else?
03 black and red Raptor
modded stock airbox and muffler

The Dunes are the best time you can have anywhere!! It would defintley be worth it just this summer we met guys who come 13 to 20 hours away and would do it again in a heartbeat. Just ask around with people that have come out should be no complaints!! Let me know if you come maybe we can hook up!!

You'll win. It's a predator, they really arn't that fast. I've never been impressed with them. Couple of my friends have them too and they just seem like they should be faster. If your rappy has the same mods and is tuned well you WILL win. You have a VERY good displacement and engine advantage and the Rappy wakes up ALOT more with mods than a predator ever will. The Rappy is just a better bike when planning on mods.

people underestimate the pred.. they just slam it because it isnt yamaha.. what they dont realize is this 500 doesnt lose by much if at all against there big 660 or 650... not everyone in the world has a 686 or a 730 like you guys.. so ya you waste a pred.. but come back to almost stock and we dont lose by much. give us the extra 160 CC's and we might even waste ya.
