hey guys im gettin my first 4 wheeler tomarrow. Filled out all the paperwork today for a new :drool: white 2005 polaris predator 500 LE :drool: . Can't wait to get it! I was looking at the 450's but i went with this because i think it fits my riding style better. Is their anything bad about the predator i should know about? kinda late to be asking that question but its always nice to know. i'll post some pictures of it when i get a chance to.

Good all around machine. They are a bit heavy compared to the others, but nothin to worry about. The TroyLee Edition has better gearin, (according to DW) and a few other items that make it a bit better than the standard Pred. I have ridden and rode with these quads and they are not bad at all. Enjoy it.

I have a friend who rides on in MX, and one who does XC Harescrambles on Predators. Both give them very high markes for reliability and competitiveness. The MX rider is a lady, and not a very big one, and she found the stock suspension to be way too stiff for her, as youd expect.

The Limited Edition comes with the same Gearing and also came with a White brothers pipe but polaris puts their name on it. Not use to riding a 4 wheeler feels so weird compaired to my 83r but i love it! Went out riding from 4pm-8:30pm Had a blast its still not broke in but it runs great. Raced a buddy on a 05 rapter and beat him all 3 times we raced by about 3 or 4 bike lengths. I did want to get a liquid 250r 3 wheeler but couldn't find one so i got this and now that i got this my grandpa traded his mint 87 big red on a 86r :confused: . But overall I love my new bike!!
