Polaris Predetor

I never thought I would even consider another Polaris, but I looked at one today, (didn't ride it because it was -0) and ever time I look at one they seem to sound better and better every time, I was just wondering if any one in here stunt's one, and how they ride, do they wheelie semi-easy, are they good quality etc.

ok we all know that polaris makes junk and the quality compared to the jap stuff will never compare! they have some good ideas and stuff but they just cant put it to work right! sorry just my opinion and I got the yamaha and I know the honda will be just about the same.

Re: Polaris Predetor

Predator is a decent sport quad. And come on guys, what recreational vehicle won't wheelie? It may not be the best stunt quad but it still gets you out there having fun.
That considered, in my opinion if you spend money on a sport quad this year and it doesn't say honda 450r on the side, you wasted money.

Re: Polaris Predetor

yeah all hondas are easy to wheelie usally there engine is placed pretty far back if you look at it and the 450r is suppose to have great breaks which means good endos but buy what you want.

Re: Polaris Predetor

in all honesty I really enjoy the predator. Mine is a 03 and there have been many changes for 04. Once you get the hang if the predator you can wheelie it all day long. At first I could not wheelie for a long distance and was so pissed I thought about selling it , but now I can wheelie it like any other quad out there. I always rode a 400ex and thought that it was the perfect size. Now that I have the predator and jump back on the 400ex it feels like im riding a match box car. HT epredator is very sable in the air and corners great. the brakes are awsome with wave rotors and steel braided brake lines. The only thing that I cant do is ride its side, its a pretty wide quad. as for weight it weighs 415dry and the rapto weighs 398 dry. Just my input on the quad

thats funny, the 400ex has way more control than the 450 as far as stunting goes.
