Default raptor or a 400ex

Raptor vs 400ex........80mph vs 60mph..........Reverse vs NONE...................DEVILISH MONSTER BEAST vs beast...................38hp vs 25-30hp.................660cc vs 400cc...........

the crapterd will not go 80 mph, more like 70, and the 400ex will do 65-68mph.

if you want to go fast get a banshee, if you want trails get a 400ex, if you want the best of everything get a 450R/ YFZ.

the craptor is gutless for being a 660 and its unreliable and very tipsy.

My raptor only broke down, and couldnt be ridden twice, from the carbs popping off, and I fixed that with 70 dollar boots. My 01 tranny is still fine, but the one ways werent too great, until I got the L&A designs one way.


Raptor=70 top speed 400ex=75

not! But it doesnt matter, because we ride mx, and we are sickter.

CHEA!

My stock 400ex kills a jetted and piped raptor 660 until mid 4th.. But I tell you what, that makes it a better ride in the trails, I can stay ahead of my buddies raptor no problem, he just gets me in the longer drag races.. (i dunno if its a lack of HP, or i let off the gas in fear of getting plastered with 10000 bb sized rocks. that hurts.

Ive been riding with the raptor for a few months now, and each time we go out, I hear more and more noised coming from it.. Im waiting for it to fall apart right in front of me.. lol

They aren't in the same league. The Raptor is a top of line machine, and a 400ex is a air cooled dinosaur in technology.
Says the quad that gets beat off the line.

Sorry to troll, but the stock Raptor has like 4.5" ground clearance, which makes it terriable in rutty trails..

My 400 is the same way, until last night when I added 22" holeshots, adding 2" more inches of clearance :-)

Psst .. if you had 20's before (stock size for the EX) you didn't get 2" extra clearance by putting on 22's .. 22 is the diamter and you only gain 1/2 that in clearance .. so you actually went up about an inch, but also lost about an inch of clearance to your fenders ..
