honestly, i do not see why no one like predators. Have any of you ever ridden one or owned one? i mean come on, I have an 07 that i have ridden for over 200 hours and have adjusted the valves once but have checked numerous times and there still in spec. it has never died on me. always has started never ANY issues. i mean its never seen the dealer since it left. All you have to do is regular maintenance like change oil. Mine has never had a problem and i mean never.

My friend had one that he modded the snot out of for mx, with a big bore kit +1 valves port and polish and other Rath tuning goodies the thing was fast just heavy as heck and felt odd in the air. It would chew through the rough stuff real good.

I wouldn't hesitate for one second to own a Predator.

No, they're not super fast, super light, race-ready machines. But for general trail riding with your buddies, it's a great quad.

If you wanted to make a career out of racing, the Predator probably won't do it for you. But for a second quad that your out-of-town buddies can ride, the it's very capable.

you need to run to his house and pick it up thats a hell of a deal! i spent that on shipping and random fees on my new bike. and my brother loves the predator if he knew about it he would buy it in a Heartbeat . he was bugging me to buy one but im more of a yamaha guy. the only other bike i would buy besides yamaha is a Kawasaki i had a new kx65 a while back and it was very good too me and super fast.
