Predator vs Raptor the drag race
Everyone is jumping the gun. I do not see the point of comparing Predators and Raptors until the Predator is piped/filtered/jetted. Nobody cares about stock vs. stock. So we will just have to wait and see.
I sat on a Predator at the Long Beach Cycle Show on Sunday. My first impression was the angle of the seat was strange and the curve was too close to the tank. When you sit back on the seat to get more comfortable it felt like you were on a flat slope.
I then sat on a z400, 400ex, and Raptor. I can't remember which ones I liked the best but I do remember I disliked the Predator the most. Just a first impression from "just looking" at it.

There simply isnt any way a stock predaturd can beat a good running 686. I dont care how you want to sugar coat it. You bought a bike because of the suspension not the motor ???? I would think a good aftermarket suspenion would be cheaper. Bring er out to Four stroke wars,run er up the hill and see who salutes her.

Im not the one who started comparing them if you will. The new predaturd owners will find out like the z400 owners did that the dirt wheels reviews of their quad beating everything were simply bought and paid for by the bike builders. Want to beat a raptor ?? buy one and mod it cuz none of the new super quads are going to do it.

im glad you said new michaelaz i was starting to worry about you. your right though when pooplaris brought out the predator to little sahara i wathched several comparably machines hand the predator its ***. im not saying its not the best track machine out now but we need to see if it gets the breaking bug and stays parked more than rode.

Well, I know what happened yesterday at Sand Mountain. As for your attitude, it's as funny as Tom Daschle thinking he's back in power because Mary Landrieu won the runoff on Saturday in Louisiana.
Seeya on the dunes. Better bring extra power, because like the Polaris ad says, "everything else is just prey."
