As always... Yamaha comes out on top! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I think along with the time trials and courses, it is definitely up there as one of the best looking quads out there too. I think the Predator is good looking, but nothing looks as good as a raptor..... I look at my raptor when it is parked at a complete stop and it almost looks like it's speeding at 80 mph!

 

Ummm, just a slight amount of bias there....since one is in your garage. Pic your fave, ride and have fun. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] They're all good.

 

Bleh on the bashers

 

They did say that the air box lid off the raptor made a huge difference and that it took the rappy from third to first in the drags. (Stock-DS,pred,rappy,vforce) Make air box modifications to the others and it will be a different story IMO.Oh and i think they changed the hubs and the rappy, maybe thats why they said in the specs that the rappy is 45.2 " wide. And i think too that this shootout was about the factory accessories, not the quads.

 

i will put my SHEE up against ony raptor I think the magazines bash the SHEE tooooo much and they dont do enough articles on them. The shee hasnt changed in ten years and it still kicks A**

 

Well, the mags show good pictures, have good advertisements, and make even better toilet paper when you need some. I think they wait a week to right up the tests and have forgotten what really happened, so they just make stuff up that'll sound good to whoever has the most advertising.

 

i bet you didnt beat the White Raptor with the Green frame
