i call bs.i still have an 03,raced moto x for 3 years straight,won the spring and fall series every year.and yes i ran against many yfz,z,andtrx 450 and i have many pics of me taking holeshots.if you get the right driver and know how to tune them they are a weapon.heavy yes as nimble as a 450 no but they still peform well,very underated.i now run a nicholas cycle 574 13.5.1 big bore,hotcams,porting,many carb mods,dalton clutch basket,barnett carbon clutch,aaen megapower pipe,slip on k&n,also updated tranny kit.i have been on a legit radar clocked 86mph on a dirt rd with 19 inch rear tires and still spinning badly.the only thing that stays in front of me now is my buddys 4mm stroked banshee.sorry to ramble on but like i said the preds are way underated and i think they should have not dropped the pred,my 02.
exactly my point....way to heavy to race competitivley and they do not have the power they should. My uncle raced for Factory Polaris when the preds came out for 2 years, he was very happy when his contract ran out so he could go back to his Hondas. It was impossible to win races with something that is 75lbs heavier than everything else on the track.
i would put money on any pro rider being at least 5 seconds/lap faster on my Honda over your Pred. they are a great trail machine but they are not fit for the track
