The rap has a high center of gravity and a narrow stance so if you don't know what your doing, you'll probably flip...I've been riding quads for years now, so I never have that problem, but it could happen..

Well..any vehicle that is turned sharp enough at a higher speed has the tendency to roll. The Raptor does have a higher center of gravity because it sits a little higher than many quads. But to say that it will roll turning at high speeds depends on if the rider(or in the case of a car..driver) is prepared to handle the vehicle appropriately to counteract the affects of a weight shift.....thats only my opinion...I could be wrong...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I have a Raptor,I havent flipped it yet but it rode up on two wheels twice,no biggy,just countersteer the other way and your fine,but just incase I always slip down to 4th and lean over the front wheel thats closest to the inside corner...
I´ve been reading your other posts aswell and you also might want to look at the Z400(but not if your a heavy guy)and the YFZ,does really well on curves and is super light,but the motor is like the Ducati road bike,it accelerates very fast,does very well at high revs,but is a bit "chuggy" at low speeds,so no "real" cruisin´ down the road showing off to passers-by.
