A QUESTION ON YOUR THOUGHTS FOR WITCH WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU?

 

I like the KTM's, but I would probably buy a 700r. (used)

 

i owned a raptor 700 but if i didnt have eather it whould be a very hard choice. i think the 525 whould come up on top.

 

I think the KTM is probably the better machine but doesn't it cost almost 10K?

My local dealer has a Raptor in white for $6799 which is expensive enough.......

All things being equal I was highly impressed with the quality of the KTM...... I did not get to ride it but just sitting on it I can say it feels very comfortable and the suspension feels sweet.... just bouncing up and down you could feel how nice it was.......

Of course you can get the Raptor 700SE with the upgraded suspension which is probably also very nice.....

 

i think the ktm is like 9 or 10 grand... the 08 Rap 700 is awesome, i love the suspension and smooth power of mine. I'm a fan of Yamahas but the ktm looks cool. I think you get more for the money with the Rap

 

the suspestion on the ktm is much much better than a stock raptor. it comes with top notch shocks an adjustable axle. other things that are very good for being stock are the tires, stock hp is something like 51hp. but i whould not get rid of my raptor becuase once i get into the engine those ktm will have a real hard time keeping up

 

Man this is a very hard one to answer, being that I love both of these machines. Probably some of the best machines out there to date. I sat on the KTM at the dealer and that thing feels awesome suspension and ergo wise, this is coming from a 6'6" 290lbs rider. I even sat on the Zuk LTR450 at the same dealership and there wasn't even a comparison comfort and suspension wise. I also love the raptor 700's but if money was not an issue I would have to go with the KTM, but this is a very hard choice indeed.
