How old?


The raptor has a more forgiving powerband for newer riders. Any other way I reccomend the YFZ.

I would say to get the Raptor. And I allways have fear of my Bike because it can kick your butt real Fast. And I have been riding for 10 Years this October

well u dont have to do much to a raptor , handleing sorta sucks if u dont know how to lean but u can always prevent that my fliping your rims

btw im 13 about 150 6 foot i think and i handle mine just fine

i would give the raptor a 8




does anyone agree with me when i first got on it i though it would of been arm riping power but it wasnt does anyone else agree?>
