Hey guys, first of all disregard my username (For i am no longer a big polaris fan)


I was wondering if a raptor is too big for me. I am 15 years old, weigh 160lbs, and am 6'1'' tall.
I am not a beginner, but not the best.

So with that info, is a Raptor the right quad? Or is it too big.

Give me some feedback~THANKS~

 

My Brother is about your size and he handles my raptor just fine.

 

With you size and a fair amount of experience, I'd say you'd do great by a raptor.

You are a good size for the raptor. I am 150 and about 5'8" and it is very comfortable or me. Good luck.

 

It's not your size that always matters, it's how much common sense you have. Body size you're pleanty big enough for a Raptor, but you have to show some respect or you'll just be another statistic.

 

take it easy at first and you will be fine

 

The only people too small for a Raptor are toddlers and midgets (dwarves, sorry)..

No doubt, this is coming from a DS guy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

you should be fine I am 16 and about your size and can ride the raptor just fine my only other riding experience was on a polaris.

 

My first quad was a ported, bored and piped banshee...I was like 16 and only had it for 3 months. I sold it and bought some stuff for a pro street truck I was building. Then 4 years later and no riding experience between those 4 years, I bought my 2003 LE Raptor. I have yet to have a bad accident, I did roll it over and bend the subframe but it was not a BAD crash. So my advice would be to go ahead and buy it, respect it, learn how it drives, get comfortable with it and enjoy, dont forget to mod it too!

 

i honestly think it all is based upon your strength and common sense
