Im a young bug myself, im 14, so I can answer your question. I could ride like you wouldnt believe, I can outrun my dad, who now barely keeps up. No one looks at me as a child, just a riding partner, cause I can ride better than most of my group. Take it from me, if you have enough maturity, and sence you can handle it fine. Its a scary machine if you dont know what your doing, and ive been riding as long as I could walk. So go for it, but be careful.

 

Im with Die Scared, Ive been riding since I was five and I got my raptor when I was 14. After one day I was good with the clutch and I even went on some of our ramps behind my house. If he knows how to control the power and is resonsible enough he should do good.

 

I'll have to agree with Jakal, and being mature is what may make the difference.

 

Being a parent of 2 children, I would not let my 13 year old ride a Raptor. A 13 year old may be able to "handle" it, but things happen and on a bike that fast a child could really get hurt. IF this a new rider, I would say definetly not.

 

The warrior was big for me when i got it(i was 13) and i was very mature. But it was also my first quad. If hes big enough and is mature than i don't see why not. But i would watch him every second.

 

Im 14 and I have a Raptor

 

ive been riding a decent drag banshee since i was 12, now im 14 and outrun most banshees in my class. my cousin is 12 now and is on a banshee and can almost outrun me.

 

ohh man today was the best i let my cousin whos 10 years old take my rappy down the street!!! he was so good he usually rides his little dirt bike which is clutch so i let him take my rappy only in 1st though cause his feet couldn't reach the pedals but he did so good he took it down and back and shut it off lol hes so cute on that thing

 

If his voice has started to crack, I'd say he is all right on a raptor.

 

I can handle any stock atv out there. and im 14 when i was 13 it was the first time i rode a rappy and i was suorizefd but you get the hang of it
