What do yall think about the new bike? I think that it is a rip off of the Raptor. Look at the front plastic, just like a Raptor but the lights and grill a different. The shape of the plastic is the same. The reverse switch, same place & looks the same. They should of taken a little time and thought of something a little different. What happened to the trade mark Q.R. front end? I am a little disappointed with the knock-off Raptor.

im dissapointed with people wanting a new sport quad for 9 years then when they get it they complain about how it looks. When did a quads originality affect handling/performance? Aerodynamics is the reason it looks like that. If its more aerodynamic then why not go with it, on a technical bases yes, the looks can affect performance when it comes to aerodynamics, so there suppose to not make the most aerodynamic desing b/c it looks like another quad? Come on people.

LOL, Zukes didnt start designing the quad last year when the Raptor was released. Maybe they had spies go look at what Yamaha made so they could make the same thing and release it two years later with a smaller engine to beat Yams to the punch, lol. I imagine the Raptor was released and Suzuki said damn, thats pretty similar to what we had drawn up. Its to late to change the multi-million dollar fab line because of the similarities and the design seemed to have a favorable impact in the marketplace, I think we'll stick with it. What do you think about that, sound a little more logical?
