I went from a wolverine to a Warrior and now a Raptor...at first I felt high up and tippy, but now it doesn't feel tippy at all. I slide it sideways in 2nd-3rd gear with no problem. The Raptor is a great quad.

It has huge amounts of torque, of course it wants to wheelie. If you are a decent rider you can keep it down though. There are plenty of aftermarket parts that help too.

it kinda all depends on the rider.
the right amount of power for 1 person could be way to much or to little for someone else.
