Default Got to drive a raptor today..& a predator

Well guys I got to drive a rappy today, The quadracer is down
(porting and polishing the Cyl. and lucky to we found a crack in the Piston)
My buddy Glen was nice enough to let me ride. Well really he is trying to sell
it and he wanted to make sure it was ok. So he lets me have it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].
Well I just wanted everyone to know they will not out run a Predator.
Stock to stock. Now I was impressed while drag racing that I wasn't the last
one all the time either, or that the guys I was racing didn't know how to drive[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I also got to drive and race a predator today. Now talk about power, handling,
and everthing else, I fell in love...... Almost didn't take it back to the guy...haaa haaa.
The things I didn't like about the rappy is that I lost the oil plug (it fell out) (and yes I shut it off
as soon as I seen the oil) putting the damn thing in reverse, It was easier to get off of it
and push. and the rattles of the skid plate. But overall I had fun. And was impressed.
The rappy I found was easy to jump.
But I will add
the Preadtor is the best 4stroke out there and will kick butt.


See ya later,

What can I say, my wife has here own opinions. I can say with 3 different riders (in just the racing part) the pred did seem to have a little more to it than the 3 other rappys that was out there. It was good racing,though.Bubba

Buddie I ride with broke his engine case on his raptor after hitting a rock about the size of your fist on a medium sized jump in my gravel pit which is mostly sand and some small stone after casing it. Made a excellent mess of spider cracking the case and putting a hole into it and the bike was only a few weeks old.

you guy's praise how fast it is!!

I raced them piped and stock and either beat him or it was close,they are not that fast and they will always beat a stock raptor,the predator comes out of the crate with a a race piston and cam!

I hear the same line on how they beat everyone and everything,and how they were so fast but i never seem to have a problem with them,and i just have a pipe and a jet kit...

I dont know where you ride, but they get worked out here in the west Dunes ,Glamis,Dumont...

I admit they come stock very nice and they should make all quads that quality,but let me put a cam and piston in my bike and see what the outcome is!


Stock rappy puts out about 31 to 32 hp stock,if it had a cam and piston stock it would be pushing over 50 hp...so go and have fun picking on stock bikes, but your end will soon come!!
