I have the 700 Yam and its great with new filter, computer and exhaust !, but if I had the ability to get anything I would go for the already fully loaded KTM.

how old are you? how much experience do you have? what type of riding will you be doing? will you race once in a while? will you be jumping?

O and a bit more info Im about a 160 pounds I have like 6 years expriane riding atvs and dirt bikes if that helps. I will do some jumping i just want to ride almost everywere like the trails the dune not really the track but i want be the fastest to get across the dunes and have good acceleration. SO whatt atvs are faster than the raptor the new outlaw 525 straight axel claims to be faster than the rator but im affrid of reliability on the outlaw because its polaris also i think the irs is cool but i heard its hard to power slide and stuff like that. so let me know what u think is more fast and reliable and better handling another reason i love the raptor is efi but im open to suggestgins thank you

i have the raptor 700 and love it. both bike are very good but what i like about the raptor is there parts are very easy to get. and it has f.i. which i love. the parts whould be the biggest for me. and the 525 is a brand new bike so it chould have some kind of problem.

Nothing wrong with a Wolverine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] haha. It sounds like you just want bragging rights... do some research cause you could make a 7k dollar mistake

i would go with the raptor too. my dad had a polaris and the engine seized up, he pay to get it fixed then a couple months later it seized again! he sold it and got a kodiak. in my opinion i wouldnt buy anything that has the polaris name on it.
