man, mention the raptor over at the honda forum, and you get your head bit off!
i think they are a little intimidated by the beast!
all they can say is "it won't handle"
well i think we sould let somebody test it before everybody decides.
long day at work, thought i would just ramble a little bit!!!

YEA! They're just afraid. They know the Raptor will eat thier TRX's for lunch, and will handle better too!

I'd be scared too, if I were Honda. The truth hurts, and 400EX riders know it. Sorry 400EX, your 15 mins of fame is over! It will be nice to see something else on the cover of my atv magazines!

I think if you go to the other manufacturers forums and start bragging and making antagonistic remarks, you will undoubtedly end up starting some kind of argument. Yes the Raptor looks like a good machine, good for the sport also. When it comes out, great, but sooner or later somebody will build a better quad. Be happy with what you have.

You guys are pretty funny, proclaiming this and that as if it were solid fact about the Raptor granted none of you have even seen one, yet alone ridden one....

Maybe it will be great, maybe not, time will tell - the only thing we know for sure is it will be fast.

Try mentioning a 400EX in the Polaris forum
Try mentioning a 400EX in the Bombardier forum
Mention it in the Yamaha forum
Mention a Banshee in the Honda forum
and so on, and so on....

Any of these examples and you will get you head bitten off. Sheesh, enough gloating already, lets grow up a little.....

Has anybody noticed that the people bragging about the Raptor have apparently never ridden a performance oriented quad before? I think that by December there will be lots of used Raptor's out there for us to buy. First time junior comes home all banged up from smashing into something, momma is gonna sell it. I say, save your money and buy one with a few scratches in it. One other thing, Better plan on some new bars, the stock ones will prabably be bent.
