Default Which is better? 400ex or a Raptor

I have enough money to buy a Honda 400ex or a Yamaha Raptor. I plan on doing alot of woods riding, but I also want some awesome top speed. I would love to get a Raptor more than a 400ex, but I don't know which is better. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Get the Raptor, no question. The 400ex is a good quad but the Raptor is a better trail machine and has much more potential for future mods.

Raptor
400EX is a nice machine. And would work great on trails.
But the Raptor has a lot more power and reverse which is nice when you get stuck.

Get the Rappy and roost all your friends on the trails.

Style + looks-Raptor
Reverse-Raptor
Speed-Raptor
Water cooled-raptor
reliability-ex

I wouldn't necesarily say theres more mods for a raptor, but remember "theres no replacement for displacement".

Get the 400ex. You can get a new one pretty cheap.

I don't understand you signature though "2001 Raptor 88hp"

A Raptor or a 400EX would be blistering slow compared to that 88HP machine

Umm...why are you comparing the two?
Raptor-660, liquid cooled 5 valve
400ex-400, air-cooled, 4 valve(I think?)

If you want to compare it to something..compare it two a z400, kfx400, or ds650.


but anyway...i would pick the Raptor anyday...more power....liquid cooled....+reverse
