Just be careful you don't hit a pebble or a blade of grass while speeding. Wouldn't want the crappy suspension to throw you off, you might get a boo boo.

 

What, you want it on video tape? LOL And it's my best friends Raptor that I beat. People talk about the 400ex being under powered. At least it's close to what a 400cc bike should be. 660?? 686?? Either way, that is one under powered bike. Off the line my buddy gets me, for about 20 feet. But then again I'm running stock gearing and he has the on tooth lower on the front sprocket. That thing doesn't even have enough power to get it to top gear before it gets to the end of the field. I just ordered my 13 tooth front sprocket, I'll in stall that and run him with a video camera for you to see CTRAPTOR. Don't beat up on yourself for a POLARIS with 186cc less than you smokin ya!

Price, ya price has a lot to do with it. After $6000 worth of mods, it's finally a runable machine!

 

Listen Howard .....drag racing is fun but REAL racing is done on the motorcross track......now go out spend 3k on shocks and a new rear axial then maybe you'll be able to keep up with a Predator.....make sure you have good health coverage cause those Craptors are really top heavy....but who care's you can go really fast in a straight line.....right?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Beat six modded raptors, 2 bombs, 2 hondas.5 shees, today over 4 m/x races.
Bear in mind it was c-grade.
I don't give acrap to who is faster in a straightline, any one can win that with open chequebook funds!

Geoff.

 

I dont know how your racing but they must suck because I have beaten every raptor with pipes I race at glamis and my tlp was stock with pipe and air box mod it was not even a race.raptors are a good bike but the only way tou can beat one is to have major motor work or race some one how suck and stays in first gear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I always get a kick out of these posts.
There really isn't any reason to start picking fights.
I own a ratpor and yes you could spank me good because it's stock and I don't race, just trails and gravel pits.

 

I'm with you, BlackRaptor. I own a Predator and ALSO don't race, just trails and pits. Hey, your from MN, maybe we could NOT meet and NOT race and NOT tell these people who's NOT faster some time!

People always ask me, "How fast does it go?" I always say "they say 70-75mph, but I'll never see it!" If I do, I'll be certain NOT to tell them about it!

 

Right on Pechmial!
It's nice to see some people just enjoy riding and not worry about if there's is better. Who really cares, if it does everything you want what does it matter if Ben Dover has a quad that's 2.3 sec faster?
What part of MN is new hope in? I live in Owatonna.

 

New Hope is a western "burb" of Minneapolis. I ride down a lot in the Tri County ATV park down your way by Faribault.

 

Hey Black Raptor,.......It wasn't a Polaris owner who started the discussion about who is faster. It was a Craptor owner with a big mouth. I was simply stating that the Raptor handles poorly compared to the Predator. Hey Pechmial, why have PRO Rider in your name if you don't race???? Just asking. Has anyone read any stats on pipes for the Predator?????? I'm looking at a White Brothers by Polaris.......
