I want a sport quad I am sick of riding my scrambler 500 it hurts too much landing off big jumps.Plus I want manuel. SHould I buy a Raptor or 400ex. I want the raptor,but sounds like the thing is bending alot. I was suprised to hear that guy did a wheelie and bent the upper a arm. And the axle dude off a 4ft jump sounds kinda screwy. Those guys in dirtwheels surely trashed a raptor better than a 4ft jump why didn't they bend it?! MY polaris has one a arm and has never bent! Well what should I get?!

Tell my buddy that. His is in the shop, having a new a-arm installed. He shouldn't be mad though, he got to ride it a half an hour.

Heres the truth to your question.I just had a 400ex and sold it for the raptor.The Raptor is 100% better than the 400ex.Even if their might be a few small problems at first,after you straiten them out youll have one bad *** machine.If you dont beleive me buy a 400ex and then someday when you get a chance to ride a Raptor you will be one bummed out dude.Dont get me wrong the 400 is a great machine and if you can pick up a used one at a good price go for it,but if your looking for new spend the extra money and go for something that youll be happy with.Raptor all the way.

cool I might still buy it then. I can get wholesale parts so might as well risk it.
Thanks for advice

But is your buddy selling the Raptor because of this problem?
