Damn looks fun and t shirt weather lucky.
Maybe getting a predator 500 thoughts on it?

Thats my old predator that dude is riding. They run decent...but I wouldnt own another one...alot depends on what type of riding you do....for me, the answers have always been:

-dunes:Banshee
-drag:Banshee
-trails:Banshee
-track:Banshee
-woods:Banshee
-any other type of riding:see above answers LOL

Sorry, let me elaborate...

-steering linkage is GOOD when it is set up right, and new. Steering linkage system sucks major balls if its not right(most of the predators now are not right, and parts are hard to come by)

-they ALL leak oil where the cases meet, and always will google this "predator oil leak"

-rear brake caliper mount chatters and always will

-steering stem bushings are a common failure

-one way bearings dont last long

-seating position sucks, (you will slam your nuts on the seat)...its hard to explain, but it will happen

....for all the downfalls it has it needs to be alot faster than it is, and its not....

**** maybe ill just get a banshee

You will be happier...ive had a LOT of different bikes throughout the years, and have ridden most all of them...Banshee is still king for a reason
