Default ATV Sport does Raptor wrong

the newest issue on the news stand....

there is a shootout between the Raptor, Predator, and the Z400

they said the Raptor's carbs didn't like being vertical during wheelies

and I don't know how many times they mentioned the shocks were too soft, the high center of gravity, and the word tippyness...

they even said something about the Raptor not even being in the same class as the Z or the Predator...

what a bunch of crock!

I think that magazines give the good reviews to who pays the most. If they repeatedly said every month that the raptor was the best sport quad, then they would go out of business. I don't even bother picking up the mags anymore.

I dont know who does these write ups but I bet that they dont own a quad at all. They just sit back and talk **** and make us stress over the issue. I read them dont get me wrong but I just have to laugh at the write ups when I know they are wrong.

Guess they succeeded didn't they? An article is only as good as the author.... keep that in mind.

If you have ever noticed the newest bike usually does the best... hmm thinking maybe trying to up sales!!

Ow well They can come and bring there predators, and their Z's and we can see how they do In my shootout... Hmm I'm betting on my Raptor!

LOL but then again like Duneadict has pointed out here we are talking about the article so... mission accomplished!

I hate all of those magazine articles because they are usually never right. But the thing that I dont understand is that one month they will love a quad and say its the best thing ever and the next month they will say it is the worst quad ever made, because they run out of other things to wright about. I think the raptor is by far the best quad no matter what anyone says.

Hey Raptor Owner I see in your signature that you have a Raptor and Z-400 in your honest opinion which one is better for the amount of money you pay for them?
