Dude if you got the money for the raptor GET IT!!The only reason you would want to go for the R is if you race.If I raced on a track id still have my R.The raptor is one bad azz machine.Electric start vs. kick.Reverse vs. no Soft killer suspention vs. hard ride Lots of ***** vs. lots of *****.My parter at work bought my R which has plenty of aftermarket parts on it but if you offered to trade him a raptor for it say bye bye to the honda and hello Raptor.Do what you want its your life but if your gonna spend around $4000 for an R thats 10 years old kick in another 2 and go for the raptor.

 

Personally I think that the Reverse makes those things look a bit to much like a 4x4. Not very porty lookin **** in your fender. Just my 2cents.
