And everyone know's the Raptor is twice as fast, twice as powerful, and so on and so on.

Glamis and race my 440ex and I'll even spot you 10 bike lenghts. And this invite goes to Diescarred as well.

I've riddin' everything(look at my pics page...my 3 bro's all ride A rap,Bomb,and a EX)I would have to say the Rap BY FAR is a better bike for the trails(thats all we have up here in Ma.)those of you saying the EX is a better "HANDLING"bike! That is because they dont go FAST enuf to get "OUT OF CONTROL" .Every bike we ride with will dust my bro's EX ANYWHERE.........just my .02

Reading your post, I can't help but think "this guy is smoking crack" twice as fast, twice as powerful, and so on and so on.
Sadly enough, some people post on this message board seeking advice and all they receive is extremely biased "my quad is the best in the world, they should stop making all other quads" advice. It's not as though they are comparing the playstation to the nintendo, the receiver of the advice will be making a decision that will cost thousands of dollars. The members on this forum should do all they can to assist new members in making the right choice. If the purchaser is happy with his quad, hopefully he will continue to ride and the sport grows- if not the quad sits in his garage while he/she is burdened with a payment.
A less biased real world opinion would be more beneficial to someone making a hard/big decision. Just my two cents.

Isn't that what we are talking about the handling of the two bikes. Not which one is faster but which one handles the trails better. If a 400ex handles better wouldn't that make it a better trail machine?
Not really. The 400ex doesn't have the power of the Raptor. It doesn't have reverse. It's not liquid cooled. I ride with several 400's and after lowering my Raptor I can out handle them on the most winding roads around. And in any race they don't stand a chance. A 400 is a great bike, but they are not in the same league as a Raptor. And I would race your 400EX any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
By the way, I would love to go to Glamis. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Tell you what you come to Florence and I'll spot you a few lenghts, your modded EX against my modded Rappy. Unless you're on a Sparks 465ex on alky you wont stand a snowballs chance.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
A heavily modded EX vs an equally modded Rappy and you'll see what the bigger motor is really good at.

Yamaha Raptor how much horsepower stock?
I should have been more specific in my first post.I have a 2003 honda 400ex and I love it.But after riding in the snow reverse would be awesome.I dont like the Z400/KFX400(dont ask my friend has one and I just dont like the way it feels).I feel that my 400ex is fast enough for me(stock except front sprocket) until I climb big hills is where I need the power i wiegh about 225 pounds.All i want is a powerful quad that handles good jumps good upto ~6-7 feet high thats reliable and has enough ground clearence.I dont want to have to buy aftermarket parts I like keeping it stock.We do mostly hatfield mccoy type riding with an occasinal trip to the MX track.
Thanks
Thanks

Who cares???
I have a 01 Raptor and a 99 Grizzly. I just ordered a locker for the griz. I ride 75,000 acres here in east Tennnessee. I went down 1 tooth on the primary and up 4 teeth on the back sprocket on the raptor. It tamed it to the trails. I don't understand all the speed joc's. Spending $2000 to go faster. I can't ever get out of first gear. And yes I like to raise hell!!!
