My new ride...

Okay so just lately i've been looking for a trx/yfz 450 but the prices have been either to high or the people hav wasted my time! So when my friend sent me to the link for this i thought about it and thought yeah, sounds good!

It's a 2006 Polaris predator 500 (USA bike ey? ) the things i like about it over the jap 450s is 1. its slightly bigger, 500cc. 2. IT HAS REVERSE!, now alot of people say they dont mind not having reverse.. but are you really telling me it wouldnt save alot of pissing around? 3. its just the same size pretty much as a Jap 450 anyway!

I took it out for a quick test tonight, and man does it fly!! i took the ole blasty aswell just to compare and when i came off the pred and onto the blasty it felt asif i was on the back of a snail! i couldnt even feel the powerband kicking in! Oh and the best part... I only paid £1500/$2300, you pay this for a good condition blaster over here! AND they come standard with FOX Podium Shox! I:I

These bikes are seriously fast and have ALOT of torque! .. anyway enough of talking heres some pics!! i dont have riding pics yet but will get them asap!












It's immaculate, barely a scratch on it! came with full service history, receipts and owners manual, only bad thing is it could do with a wheel bearing and thats being picky!

I went riding my old blaster with a buddy who had one of those, and him with his girl on the back took off on me like i was standing still. That's a bad mutha plus the sound is beastmode.

Hell yeah! when the guy started it my face was like he said you can take it for a test ride if you want, this street was fairly long but had newish cars down both sides.. I was like ermmm.. can you show me it go please? Didnt fancy taking out a few cars while test riding lol,

Looks great! I thought Polaris used KTM engines in all their big 4-stroke quads?? I guess that's not exactly true...

Im not 100% sure, I know its either the KTM (hopefully) or the Fuji which is the subaru.. so either way sounds sweet

Only problem ive found with it is keeping it in a straight line when flooring it! the back end spins all over the place! and damn its quick at picking up, i half expected my blaster to accelerate faster but hell no.

I let my dad on the Pred he was in first just blipping the throttle, i almost had the blaster open fully in 4th before i could even attempt to catch it, and i mean it he was just blipping the throttle, i also know because we did the same but with me on the Pred and i left him for dust! I:I and I had a friend follow me on my blaster.. Preds are great for making trailer.. just wipes anything in its way out!I:I

Infact Ill try persuade my dad to take the pred and blaster to a local drag strip or something before the blasters get sold so i can show the difference.. you wouldnt believe it! lol
