Ive gone up bigger hills on a ol rappie that people wouldnt climb who had a zilla. ive been riding qauds and dirt bike`s at least 17 yrs. In that time i found out if you can get brute power and speed out of a 4 stroke your better off. there seldom is no unexpected problems, seems like you cant hardly look at a 2 stroke right and its got something ailing it if your not winding the p*ss out it. im sure when the thing opened up that its pretty fast, but for how many times and how many days and so on and so on.

When I bought it 2 years ago, it had 2 flat rear tires, 2 bald front tires, no brakes, plastic falling off, exhaust bouncing off the rear axle, coil taped to the frame, and I smoked, and I mean SMOKED a two week old Raptor up the local bowl, and that was the same time I blew the head gsket, so I hafta add that to the list. I only rode it once before for a test ride before I bought it the day before me and all my friends realized the Raptor is no new King of power.
And with a big bore and a powervalve, there's no need to wind up a Zilla to make it go....If you really want to get rid of your DS, lets try the pink slip thing.
