Raptors are a great quad.

37HP

And they run around 78 mph.

They are very reliable and a great trail quad. Throw and a pipe on one and you have a ton of torque and a great power increase. They are a great quad and a steal at under $6000 out the door.

i say z400, YFZ450 (not if your trail riding), or TRX 450(non-trail riding). if you trail ride the z400 or a raptor would be a good choice, some people also like the ease of a v force but i like to do my own shifting.

Right now the best all around, most well rounded sport quad is this the Z400. But, you should probably buy what your buddies ride since they can help you work on it.

My vote for best all around quad goes to the Z400.

well a used 28hp 65mph 400ex is ALOT cheaper than any other modern quad but it is a little slower than the z400 but not by much, just 3-4hp and 3-4 mph difference but a 400ex can easily keep up with the z with a few mods but i you are going to buy a new quad, buy a z400

Z-400 very good quad!! + you have reverse for trails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Raptors are awsome quads but for a first quad the z-400 is great!
