The preditor is a good machine. I wouldn't get one because I think their is better quads out there and it is a 500 witch is over the limit for racing. Its got really good suspenion and the handling is good. I heard that the motor was really powerfull. It will probably beat a raptor but im not sure.:huh

All I can comment on are its looks since I have never ridden one or seen one in person.

the bike looks cool, but the gap between the tank plastic & the front plastic looks very odd

the front end was described as having an extra tie rod & linkage which seems unusual also. I would like to see one on the trails & perhaps cop a ride. But I aint writing no checks made payable to polaris quite yet.

I'd be willing to bet it feels lighter, and better in the air than a Warrior :D :p

Yea, no kidding!!! Reverse is icing on the cake. Sure you can live without it but it is nice to have sometimes.

My buddy ordered one for his wife to ride. He was at the dealer on Saturday and they told him it will be in this week. They promised that we could take it to Oklahoma this coming weekend. We should more by the end of next week. :D
