I know for a Fact it is a Polaris. I was at the Polaris, Suzuki, Kawasaki Dealer Yesterday. I was putting together a Dragstrip for him. He said yes it is a Polaris and HotSeat performance it building one up already. I personally think the Predator looks kinda cheap, the foot pegs, the plastic,
the controls on the handlebars. It does not look like she's gonna take abuse very well. I very well could be wrong. Polaris did'nt put they're name on it right off the bat because they did not want any preconceived notions about the machine. They wanted it to be seen rippin around and tearin **** up. They did'nt want people to be sayin "Oh it's a Polaris Tank"
or stuff like that. So it's a pretty good marketing ploy. That way people who don't like Polaris can't slam it right off the get go.
YES IT IS POLARIS.

They did not give much detail, except that they would hang with raptors and DS's..It should be available in the next 2 months..
