Give Me the top 5 fastest quads in order 1-5
from what I know it's cannibal. and why aren't cannondales in the majority of these top five postings?
after watching the vforce video number one, It's kind of ..."cute" to see that 550lb machine move so "swiftly." That number three quad sure seems to be hauling after it gets out of the hole though. Is it a banshee?

Hey Cop, why don't you get of his butt. He has the same right as you to express his opinion.
Let us look at this from another angle and see how we stack up. Lets say that I am on my big, overweight, ugly automatic KFX 700 and someone else is behind me on thier awesome lightweight, powerful, state of the art Raptor. I am leading and we come out of a corner and there is a 30 yard opening until the next corner. What happens next.
Here is my take: Since the V Force is always in the right gear, I just nail it with no pause for downshifting. Since I have better low end acceleration (which all seem to agree) than the Raptor, I get to the next turn a bit quicker. Going into the turn, the V Force has a very low center of gravity and very good control. The Raptor is a bit tippy due to the relative high center of gravity. I manage the turn a hair quicker than the Raptor and the process repeats itself. After twenty minutes of riding, I may have a considerable lead on the Raptor. If the raptor were leading, I would be on his butt all day.
This is certainly debatable. I know that some will argue that the Raptor is better in the turns due to the V Force's weight and that is totally opinion. I am in no way an expert and I have only ridden one Raptor one time.
I do think that this illustrates why the V Force enthusiasts feel that the V is a "quicker" bike in real world riding situations. For you who drag race exclusively, buy a Banshee and spend a couple grand on it and you will probably only be beaten by other banshees.

I never said that a V-force is ugly or slow. In fact I like the V-force the best right behind My DS650 Baja X. I seriously considered the V-force but decided that the Baja X suited my needs better. I have no doubts that a V-force would, in some circumstances, be better than a Raptor. I am not a Raptor fan because it is too small for me. If tha V-force had a little more suspension travel (1-2 inches) and a higher top speed, I feel that it would be the best Sport quad on the market. The same could be said about the DS650 Baja X if it had a reverse. As far as Ineedspeed is conserned yes he does have his right to express his opinion, but he also has the responsibility on this site to make intelligent statements, not inflamitory remarks that serve no other purpose than to cause an argument.
