Alright man that was my fault I did go a little crazy on you haha. That is my track and then we have 3 other guys who all have nice practice tracks too that we practice on. Jumpin 35 feet is pretty crazy on a warrior. That sport isn't for mx it is a drag racer. Owned by Doug Nicholas. It beats tons of banshees, runs in the low 4's. Out the door it is about $5900-$6000.
Yeah I love my cousins sport for the speed and the accelaration but I swear every time we go to the track on it we have to replace something and parts for it aren't cheap but that kinda killed it for me on getting a pred because of the sports reliability. How is the preds reliability? I'm getting a new one on the 15th I've had my mind set on the shee but I have never ridden a pred before but I have been looking how is the pred for MX? would I have to dump alot of money just to get started or is it ready stock? The specs are just a cut and paste from some site that my bro sent me too so I don't know if they're right

The reason the sport does't work good for mx is because it isn't made for jumping and going through whoops like an mx machine. The predator is great and is usually very reliable. All I have done to mine is a pipe and jettin and some carb adjustments and I added nerf bars and different handle bars and tires to make it a little btter for mx but you will have to do that to about any machine u buy. The pred will handle way better then a shee for motocross. It is a great quad.

Yeah Doug was down to LS over the weekend.....he said not many came close, a few TREX shees were faster. And he said one rappy was about even with him, or maybe a little quicker....but he was running alky.

Head.....No I took it down Saturday to get the brake recall done. I talked to Doug then for about an hour. I also bought an HPD steering stabilizer, and Doug gave me some nifty Nicholas Cycle Racing stickers, which I am currently sticking everywhere I can.

Second, your bragging about beating Rappys that wont jump over the jumps and slow way down for turns? That sounds kinda *****, why would you think highly of you and your warrior because of this? Why the hell would you buy a Shee if you race MX, thats almost the worst choice!

Don't be so hypocritical too...you post first to talk down on other bikes then you blame me for knocking your bike then you get pissed off and come back and knock mine lol get a life.

Good luck with your mean mx machine you call a warrior lol and I've never heard the word "wax" so many times in my life...extend your vocab man.
i'll race you on the track with my banshee any day.
