Default Rode a Raptor !!!

If all anyone ever bought was a quad with just enough power for casual trail riding no one would have anything bigger than a warrior. I dont know about you, but I need the extra power and then some for racing of any kind. Besides, the magazines arent going crazy comparing the 300ex and warrior. Speed sells and makes the whole line look better. Kind of an image product.

Out of the bikes I ride with; 2 Raptors, a Predator, other 400EXs, a DVX400, and others. I am THE fastest on the trails. Its 90% rider on the trails with the bigger bikes! Second fastest and sometimes first is a ............................. Trailblazer 400! And most of us ride dang good.

You may loose a 300ex on the straight's but when it comes to the turns the ex's would be right there. I'm not saying there no good or not fast because they are I am just saying that they don't handle as good as an ex!

Correct, but that would be 3 to 4 turns back and that still gives the raptor owner time to pick himself off the ground because he tipped over because of the poor handling.

I was able to fix my Raptor's tippiness with one easy addition "A kickstand" I got so sick of going out to the garage and finding it tipped over on it's side! For those of you comparing it to a 300ex come on there is no comparison...Period!
