Default About to buy a Raptor

I am going to end up buying a brand new 2k3 raptor this weekend(a place has them and wants to get rid of them) and are selling them for $5699 out the door. I just have a couple questions on this. Can these handle good on trails? I want a bike that I can keep up with stock banshees on the road, but can handle good on trails, and stay with 400exs and z400's on trails.

If everything goes as planned ill have a 2k3 raptor this weekend and get some pics up of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

thanks

the raptor is great on trials and will out run all of those bikes that you listed...........
but it doesn't sound like they really want to get rid of that raptor..........
if they want to get rid of it they will take 5200OTD

Your Raptor will do all that and more! Great choice! Nice deal too =] You are going to be very happy with what ya get.

They definitly can handle good in the trails.
It will keep up with stock Banshees on the road.
Will stay with EX's and Z's on trails.

Welcome to the family.

it's a great bike! it'll go most anywhere, as long as you don't high center. ANd if you DO get stuck, it is so light, it's easy to move out of the mudhole

check my site for pics etc. Also, check out this video of me in the mud on mine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] www.forgotton.net Go to the videos section, close to the bottom [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


btw, I paid 5199 for mine otd, but had to pay taxes on it when I registered it here in LA. I bought in MS. I also got a 2k3

sym..nobody cares about your CDI that raises the rev limit 1k rpms. If anyone buys an aftermarket ignition, it should be the dyna. Quit advertising here, nobody cares about your pos...and it's getting annoying seeing you pop in every post trying to advertise.
