But in the case of a raptor vs. a 450 the raptor has TONS OF aftermarket parts available so its not fair to compare it to the lack of hi-po parts available to certain chevy motors. Know what I am saying.

 

No it dosent have alot of aftermarket parts, not like cars. Most of all, you cant buy a head for it.

 

The Raptor has plenty of aftermarkety parts. Perhaps it doens't have as many as the 2 strokes but as far as 4 strokes it has lots. All susp, pistons, cam choices, valve springs, new valves, tons of exhuast, different carbs, airboxes, FUEL INJECTION if you know where to go, turbos, everything but aftermarket heads, but then there are plenty of experienced head guys. Thats alot of aftermarket support to me for a bike that has been around for 3 years.
