Have you ever rode one before??? They are a handful on a track, I know of several peeps that the weight doesnt seem to bother them any,you can DEF feel a difference but everyone has there preference onb what feels good to them.... I can give you some info of some riders who race MX who do VERY well on them... If we could do it all over again it would be a YFZ in my Garage

but thats just us and they didnt have much out when we bought ours. Still all and all, the 05 seems to have some nice changes to it

Coming from another Pred owner, if your wanting to be different....go with a Cannondale.

I like my Pred, and I do think its a good quad, but for Mx its just too big and too heavy. If your just interested in getting out there and having a good time, then go for it. But if your really wanting to be competative, and not be at a disadvantage from the get go you really need to have either one of the 450's or a Cannondale.

Good quad, just not a true mx racer.

There is a reason everyone is using the 450's for MX and that is because that is what they are meant for.

Try to find someone with a Pred and ride it. If you can handle the weight, ride height and you feel comfortable then get it b/c it has a lot of power. I hated riding the Pred that I rode and it already had shocks, exhaust, cam and rev kit. It was a lot faster than my quad on the pavement but the power band was similar to a banshee so it whould just spin on the dirt. It is one hell of a machine on sand paddles.
