Default Can a Raptor outrun the Kawasaki 700?

I was thinking about buying one before I bought my Raptor, and this thing looked extremely huge! Then I found out it was an automatic. Seems like the peppy Raptor could handle the 700, right?

The 700 is very quick out of the hole.

The 700 is quick from the bottom end but you can out run it of the rappy if is on pipe. Yes it heavy.... I wouldn't be in the way if get in the rollover. it would be a big ouch!

I just raced a 700 a couple weeks ago in the sand, I actually beat it off the line and was pulling away at the end. I think I might have had a little more paddle than him, that probably accounts for the holeshot. The 700 ran well though.

you guys need to realize that the V is not made for sand if it was it would be a 6 speed and weigh 400 pounds. if a stock rappy went against a stock V on asphaultin like 400 ft the rappy still would not catch the V . ive seen it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I thought this was kind of sad.

Piped Raptor vs. Piped V-Force
