Go with the Raptor if your trail riding and but a little wider axle on it and maybe a pipe and youl have pleanty of power but after about the first year you will have alittle bit of trouble but if you dont ride the **** out of it or dog it alot it will be fine

speed- raptor,this ones a no brainer and is the reason why a ex is so reliable,its slow
looks -raptor imo but i think ex looks ok
handling- 400ex raptor is meant to be tippy but i cant feel it and the reason for good handling on the ex is because its slow
Thats not a very good answer...the 400ex doesnt handle good becuase its slow, it handles better becuase its wider than the raptor and shorter and the center of gravity is lower.

Reliability - Both are reliable. The Raptor does have a issue with the one way starter, but you can install L&A Designs one way and fix that problem. Other then that, the raptor is just as reliable as the 400.
how can the raptor be jsut as reliable.....it took them a year model to fix a tranny problem, its liquid cooled so it has radiator and hoses to deal with and its a dual overhead cam where the 400ex is a single over head radial deasign....simply put the 400 ex is sipler design so not as much to go wrong.......and the engine is proven ...but to be fair i think the only manufacturer to build and really unreliable quad is polaris....but thats another thread

[i]jump on a 400ex, then jump on a raptor. There isn't that much of a difference in power. I keep right up with my buddy's and 3 of them have raptors.
You might keep up w/ them in your car on the road. I know it's not on your ex. No offense to anyone, just common sense 400 vs. 660. Dude, I'll give it to you for trying to convince me your 400 is faster but it's really not and we all know it. Alot has to do w/ the rider but w/ pure speed, there is no way a 400ex would even come close.

Never riden a Raptor but I'd like to. I wanna feel the excelleration of this bad boy thats got all you Rappy boys convinced that the 400EX is slow............. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

It maybe faster, (it should be alot faster) but I doubt anyone could have more FUN on it than you can possibly have on a 400EX, but thats just IMO.

Bigger ain't always better! If that were so then you guys would'nt be looking at YFZ azz in a 300ft. drag......................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
