my point about them not being able to wheelie off road is there terrible hook up retard. on road anyone can wheelie anything. if only it hooked up it would be a decent quad.

the pred was designed to not lift the front end... until 04 when they changed a few things due to the complaints. now it will wheelie when you want it to.
it handles 1000X better than a raptor... and everyone knows that... how can wider and lower not handle better than narrow and tippy? common sense bud.
as far a Z beating it until top? no, i am sorry... once again you are wrong. you need to open your eyes beyond your group of riding buddies...

These response are typical yamaha attitude BS. THey are always in yamaha tunnel vision or something. You guys check out the suspension on those preds nice, the one guy who was in that mx race could of not known how to drive it. Who ever said they cant wheelie is wrong, i raced one about a month ago and thats all he was doing.ON DIRT TO. If i were to believe any of these storys it would be about the one at the drags. You Yamaha guys need to get your head out of your a$$, its annoying just to read some of these threads of just complete machine bashery, over a simple question. Especailly when half you guys havent even ridden one. So why dont some of yamaha guys who show no respect but your panties on and go ride the best ever built quads...RIIIIIIIIIGHT.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
