I love tellin this story
I had just piped, filtered, and jetted my raptor and took it for a ride on a local trail. it's an old rail road bed and has 6ft high embankments on both sides. so im cruising along checking the diffrent rages (low end, mid range, high end). at this point i'm in 3rd and come up behind to Ex's. they were definately piped i don't know what else they had but they were covered in all kinds of aftermarket stickers. anyways...they would'nt let me pass. i try to pass on the left and they spread out.
i'm like wtf! after atleast a complete mile of this BS. i nail 3rd...ride up the side of the embankment. and pass them on a 45 degree angle... pull in front...shift to 4th. nailed it. and rode off in a wheely.
These guys are probably still blowing dirt out of their noses. LoL

Jeez what's up with these people and their 400EX's? The Raptor will walk away from a stock or fairly modified EX. It's that simple. The EX's only advantage is handling. The Raptor has it in power, trails, and reverse. I don't see why the 400EX has been proclaimed such an "amazing" trail bike when it doesn't even have reverse.

The Raptor might cost a little bit more, but you get a LOT more bike. Don't let some of these morons tell you otherwise. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
