Ok, so the Raptor quarter mile times were not all that impressive

Must have been something in the air. Raptor only ran a 15.02 at 79mph, My Banshee was even off by about 2 mph running a 15.22 at 78mph. Everything seemed to be running a little slow last night, from cars, bikes and even quads. One of my friends out there had his Banshee with pipes, cool head, filter ect. and he was running 14.45 at 84 mph. Saw a stock DS run 72 mph at 15.96 and a stock 400ex run 65 mph at 16.58. Oh well, I was hoping to get about 81 or so out of the Raptor, but it just wasnt a good night. But I did see a bone stock GRXR 600 run a 10.44. Why they dont put streetbike engines in quads Ill never know.

You are losing a lot of time after the first 1/8 mile. I ran my modded 400EX down the quarter mile and i was almost topped out by the 1/8 mile mark. It just didn't accelerate anymore.

Quads aren't geared for the 1/4... The 1/8 or 600 foot would be a much more useful measurement.

I was really disappointed in teh way it ran last weekend, since just a month ago it ran almost 5mph faster. Oh well, yeah, it has been for sale for about 3 months nowI have only advertised it on here, and have not yet put it in the local Thrifty Nickel. I am not trying to sell it, but if someone walks up with 6k it is gone.
