After my 250ex beats raptor post I have decided to rank the raptor as to where it falls as far as what can actually beat it.

The following list is not the views of all atvers. LOL LOL

1. DS650 (As far as weight is concerned)
2. Baja DS650 (As long as Raptor tranny breaks)
3. Honda 440 Ex (Down a mine shaft)
4. Honda TRX 250R (Until the 2 stroke locks up)
5. Cannondale FX400(only at www.wishfulthinking.com)
6. Polaris Scrambler 500 (This machine just rocks, oh it weighs like a load of rocks, sorry)


So there you have it the raptor is now in 7th place in the quad wars. Darn I thought I bought a good quad. Please not the sarcasm in that last quote. LOL Please feel free to add to this distinguished list.

LT185 no rear suspension(back breaker),front suspension doesn't move(way better for jumping).the chain falls off and engine dies all the time,oil rapidly leaks out,pull start(very hard for just a 185)and the list goes on.That baby smokes raptors!
