I've beat them stock vs. stock, and I have also been beaten by them. I think it comes down to the rider...

What? A Predator? I have no idea (well, I have an idea, but not going to stir that pot). I get a kick out of guys talking about top speed. For one thing, the difference either way is probably a few mph. That would be stock for stock on a paved road. Now, I don't know about anybody else out there, but I don't run my predator down a paved road. (There are people that do it).

Look at it this way too. If we were on sand drags, I could put a set of paddles on the preddy and run at say 68 mph tops. I could hit the pits and put a different set on and run at 72. Nothin changed but the tire, but 4 mph will get you stomped on the drags. I'm just talking top speed here, we're not even getting into holeshot and hookups and reaction times....whole different beast.

Top speed is such a fragile thing...and, unless you are seriously into drag racing, way overrated in my opinion. And, if you're that into drags, you're not talking stock anyway. If you're just talking about beating your buddies, be a better rider and unless they have some serious mods on you, you'll beat them either way...

Thank you for listening to my evening rant...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yea, don't get me wrong, she will boot scoot and boogie, but that's not why I got her. If you are buy a bike strictly because you think it's the "fastest" you will be disappointed on a whole lot of levels.
