Unless you ride a Polaris, right Jerry?
All they need to do is jack up the HP a notch on the 400, use the auto (in my opinion) & put it in a well suspended light frame. It's just that easy! Polaris can you hear me????!!!!

 

Raptor, do you realize that you sound like a twelve-year old when you post? I know that might offend because you're probably fourteen and I thought I knew a lot when I was fourteen too. To say Bombardier sucks or that the DS is a slug only proves that you haven't ridden one. I'm happy with everyone's machines. I love Kawasakis but I don't spend my time bagging other manufacturers. We're going to see competition that makes all the MX bikes so great. A partucular machine might not be right for you but we're in here because we share a passion for ATV's and I would ride with all of oyu because anyone that cares enough to spend their time in here is my kind of ATV enthusiast. I can envision my garage in 2002 with my DS, a Cannondale, or a Raptor, and a Kawasaki K???? all sharing space. I would love to see Yamaha scrap the Banshee frame and put the motor in something new to sell alongside the Raptor in 2002.

 

You all are like a bunch of kids, hell, you probably are kids. I own a 400EX. Personally, and I am not taking any of this personally, if I had the money, I would be buying the Raptor. The machine is awesome. I haven't even ridden it, but as one can see from reading, it's the heat. Sorry to say, those Yamaha owners have something to brag about once again. I don't stick with manufacturer, I stick with performance and the Raptor has it. If this offends YOU (the Honda owner) answer me this: Why do you modify "YOUR" bike?
