Wow! I have absolutley no idea what I'm talking about do I?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Actually the wet weight is pretty close between the Raptor and the Predator, only a few lbs difference. And about the Raptor cornering better than the Predator, you speak the truth!From your post I bet you have had a-lot more experience with the Predator than i have. In my opinion the Predator is the worst machine! And this is coming from a former predator owner!
Me and you could become great friends with that attitude you have!

Wow. If ignorance is bliss..why do you sound so unhappy?
Raj and his buudies live down around you.I would like to see how your Raptor does against anyone of their's.
Your new to the forums I understand that but, mouthing off and saying any quad is crap is just plain childish..why dont you enter a santioned race or 2 with your Rappy in Ohio and have your **** handed to you and your all mighty rappy?

Ok now you are just making false judgements bud.And if you want me to race this buddy raj of yours then his quad better be mod for mod with mine, same amount in same places.And anotherthing, i am not saying that the quad is crap, you just need to comprehend that i am saying that it is not as good as others.
