    I have to disagree. A mouse pissing on cotton is louder than a stock R. When my buddy first got his, I couldn't believe how much quiter than my stock Pred it was. They are both awesome machines. Like Andy said, the E-start is a big bonus while riding trails. Plus the 05 has reverse. His R is 04 and my Pred is 03. We basically only ride trails. Mine is still stock, his has 13t front, filter, pipe, jet. He said the 13t was the best thing he did to it. The same can be said about the Pred. The weight is not an issue. The Pred can easily be flicked around. Basically, it's your choice. Both machines kick *** in my mind. If you want to know more about the Predator, go to www.predatorowners.com. The site is slow, but has anything you might want to know.

    I personally would buy a new 05' Tld pred tomarrow over a 450R, but thats just me. I like the reverse and electric start. The R is lighter, but the pred comes with alot of things stock that I would have to buy for the R. Which would add weight as well.

    I agree ,I really wanted the 450r but for $1000.00less I got a quad that fills my needs and if I want I tweek it with mods I would have had to do to the 450r also.
