Which of the two bikes has more potenial for a drag bike.

 

If you can wait until October, you might have an answer.

 

DS's won Four Stroke Wars and Planet Sand this year... not to mention a DS is the world record holder for 300' four stroke single cylinder, with a 3.97(I'm pretty sure that was the time)... it was sub 4 anyway. DS makes a damn fine drag racer.

 

You may want to consider the YZ450 quad.

The Raptor will way out handle the DS and it alot easier to throw around.

If you are looking for a "sport" quad, then go with Yamaha. They are the best.

Otherwise Outlanders are the best, but BRP customer service SUCKS!

 

If Im not mistaken, I thought he said "drag bike"...not a PLAY BIKE! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I'm not sure how the Raptor will out handle the DS other than it being a little lighter. The DS suspension is way better... I will smoke a stock suspended Raptor through the whoops every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Besides he was talking about a drag bike like Choose said. Also your experience with BRP is not the norm... YOU had a bad dealer and YOU did not fully read through your sales contract when YOU put your name on the line. I have had great experience with their customer service... I've only needed it one time when I was looking for a tie rod in short order.

 

Never give up hope LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

The big yamaha raptor engine is a drag chassis is going together from TOP SECRET RACING. We wont be giving up 100+cc's to the Bombs either[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] . I fully expect to be able to run with the rest with NO bottle. Many of yall from here have seen our little motor Raptors run in OEM chassis that may give you an idea of what is in store [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

 

According to the shootout written up in Quad magazine The Raptor 700 out performed both the KAW 700 and the Bombardier Baja 650. In fact the Bombardier came in dead last in every category except how it handled in the whoop’s and wide open desert. Other then that they said the Bomb was way under powered, the suspension with it’s 12” travel was acceptable at best and because of its weight it was not a good handler in anything but straight wide open desert running. The Bomb was also the only one tested that didn’t have a reverse or state-of-the-art Electronic Fuel Injection.

The Bombardier is soon to become a dinosaur.

Of course the write up only spoke of out of the box bikes.

 

Scholle, I have no doubt in my mind that its gonna be a runner my friend. When can I expect to see it out for the first time?
