All of your points are valid, especially if you substitute Raptor for Cannondale. Yea, it will beat a 400EX, but aren't you a little embarrassed that your Raptor is second best to that same 400EX? You live in Connecticut so it is mostly woods and trails, right. Let me ask you a question, how do you feel about being bumped to third place if the C-dale is even half as good as everybody says it is.
As for me and my quads, whenever you get to AZ, you can just bring is on, I can cover your bet.

 

It seems you feel stupid for the wrong reasons.
Forget about the Raptor, you should have enough trouble feeling stupid because of your posts here...

 

rraptorr13,

Okay, Give me $8000 and you get $8000 I'll go buy a 400ex you go buy your fx400 i'll mod mine you'll sit in the garge. When I'm done with my 400ex it will kill you on the track and it will kill you in a drag race. there going to have problems with there atv (fx400) and when they have to fix all those atv's they will be out of the atv biz. Where Honda is a big name brand and if they have problems they can fix them

 

I am not interested in the FX as a machine for myself, but rather in its new features (aluminun frame and fuel injection). Mainly because it is a step in the right direction for our sport and because it may force the other manufacturers to step up to the plate.
I agree with statements about the 400EX, but I think the C-dale will not have as many problems as most are assuming. I bet an 8000 dollar 250r or Banshee will kill the 400EX in a drag race or on the track, but then with that kind of cash into a machine, you are really riding what you want for yourself. It would come down to the rider.
As for rraptor13yrolds question, I have a Banshee and a 250R. I will let you tell me which one to beat you on.
