LOOKIN' TO BUY A V-FORCE AND FOUND ONE 2 MONTHS OLD FOR 5300.00. TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN RAPTOR AND V-FORCE. RODE A RAPTOR FOR A WEEKEND AND IT WAS PRETTY RADICAL. I RIDE IN WOODS, OPEN FIELDS AND DIRT ROADS AND THINK THE V-FORCE MIGHT BE MORE UP MY ALLEY. MY LAST WHEELER WAS A SPORTSMAN 500 SO I LOVE THE THE AUTOMATIC. I TEST RODE THE USED FORCE AND THE SAME FEELING CAME BACK. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT. I HAVE BEEN READING YA'LLS POST AND I THINK YOU LIKE THE FORCE.

 

I used to own a Sportsman 500 HO ......... It was a good quad for me in the woods. A good riding utility machine ...

The V is a sports machine...... it can cause you to flat out hold your breath !!! I replaced the Sportsman with a P650,
......... I don't ride the P650 any more ..... feels like a sled compared to the V.

 

I LOVED THE SPORTSMAN TOO, BUT I TRIED TO RIDE IT LIKE A SPORT. I QUESS IT WAS THE KID IN ME. I LOVE POWER.

 

I have a v its my first quad so I have nothing to compare it to but the power is wonderful. I'm just starting to dabble in mx track stuff and I feel that it needs some suspension mods for this however; unlike smaller quads all I have to do is spend $ on suspension not power mods. don't know much about raptors just what I'v read on fourms but it seems that they are very close in power.

 

Well I own a Z400, have not been paid for it yet so its still mine, and as everyone knows its dimensions are very similar to the raptors. Also the power is fairly close. I bought a V-Force to replace my Z400, at first I liked it better as it jumped better or the same and had more power. Last week I had the chance to drive my old Z400, let me tell you I will never go back to that quad ever again. It feels so small and gutless compared to the V. If your a bigger guy then get the V-Force the auto is so much fun and works well.

 

I'M NOT A BIG GUY, 6'-1 175. THAT IS THE ONE THING I HAVE WONDERED ABOUT IT. IS IT TOO BIG BUT MY SPORTSMAN WAS BIG BUT NOT AS POWERFUL. LOVE THE AUTO.

 

6'1 is big enough, you might feel cramped on the Raptor. I never felt cramped on my Z400 until I went back to it after riding the V-Force for a few months. If you get the raptor don't ride a DS650 or V-Force as going back to the raptor it will feel like a toy.

 

SOUNDS GOOD, I WANT TO BE HAPPY THE FIRST TIME. I CHECKED YOUR WEBSITE AND DOWNLOADED THE PIPE SOUNDS FOR REFERENCE. MY BOYS LOVED THEM. THEY'RE READY FOR IT TOO.

 

I am only 5'9" 165# and I don't feel it is to big, and anything I have been on since feels like a toy. I thought when I got it that I would still ride the Rubicon on trail rides with friends that have utilities, but I can not leave my V at home. It is just a blast to ride, and the sound of those HMF dauls.......Love them.
All I can say is.... I do not believe you will regret it for one second.


5'9" not to small

 

THAT SOUNDS GREAT. ALL I'VE HEARD ON HERE IS HOW GOOD IT IS TO RIDE. I HOPE THAT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE KAW SECTION. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT NOW AND THE DUALS SOUND MEAN.
