We all ask why Honda, Kawa, or Suzuki didn't come out with the quads we expected, except for Yamaha. And they are going to be cut short of production of their Raptor because of its power to size ratio. Government no like. Yet the DS650 will not be discontinued because its power is actually in tune with its size. The discontinuing of the Raptor is not extremely reliable info. It's from a Honda dealer and he says thats what the honda officials said at the Dealer Convention.

Why don't they discontinue the Banshee then? It is lighter than the Raptor. I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

Good one about the Banshee. 13 years and still in production. Probably less safe than the Raptor as well.

Let Al Gore become president and we'll all be riding battery powered quads but only in our own back yards since public lands will be off limits.

as far as the raptor goes my thing with it has been that it is a blaster with a 660 engine but i don t think ti ll be takein on the line as far as the banshee goes i had a 98 and its i think a very safe quad because the size of the frame i love it its nice and sable on insane hills
