All Terrain Vehicle Mag. ride test

[MX#9]

This magazine has a two page "first ride " of the 450r. Like the rest of the "flavor of the month mags" the conclusions are similar. Here's a quote you all may enjoy, "Is the new TRX more radical and breathtaking than the Predator or YFZ Yamaha? Not necessarily. It is, however, their unabashed equal, and to completely close the deal,it's a Honda! Need we say more." Now how doe a Polaris even compare to a YFZ? In another article in the same issue they rate the Polaris best sport atv over the YFZ. They do go on to say that "Had our criteria allowed even minor modifications,the YFZ would have dominated. The stories I have heard about the Polaris is that it is anything but reliable. This just reinforces my belief that they should do a 2-3 year test and tells us how they hold up over time.

All I know is the predator run nice. They handle nice and my friends has been reliable. It does seem they get a bad rap since they are a Polaris but those who have them or even have ridden one much seem to just love em.

i have a ridden partner who has one and never had a problem with it.i love to ride it and it doubles and triples just as good as my 400 in my sig.the only complaint i would have is it needs to be wider and lower.

Don't count polaris predators out. There great machines. They have lots of power.
