Default Raptor or KFX700

I've done seveal searches and need some opinions now.....

I can buy a used Raptor for a good price or a new kfx700? I am undecided as I am fearful that I may be married to the kfx as there are not a big hit hear. If I did not like the Raptor at least I could resell and not loose my *** in the process.

My riding is 50% fields and ditches, 40% in the foothills, mountains, meskeg, cutlines and 10% sand dunes?

I really like the idea of the kfx auto being a point a shoot machine with pipes and clutch work they sound like they really work. I am nervous about having to shift and slip the clutch in the mountains all the time with the Raptor and the tippy aspect of the Raptor but the price is right if I buy a 02 or 03 machine.

Help?

I have two Raptors, and my girlfreind has a 700. I would say with your riding get the 700. I really like riding it. The front end gets very light with just a little throttle is the only bad thing about it so far. I actually like that, but for a novice it can get them in trouble. The 700 is more comfortable for long rides also. Rides 2 people nicely as well. I was very impressed with the power it has. Can't imagine one with some mods. My girlfreinds is staying stock..plenty of power for her.
