I was wondering if they had a test or shootout on the RAPTOR. If so tell me what they said. I just sent in my subscription a couple weeks ago so i won't get one for a while.

Griz,

The august dirtwheels had the raptor cover story, you mean that they did basically the same thing in the Sept. one? Good Golly, these folks just want to keep stretching it out don't they!

ATV Sport called it the Craptor in the newest issue and that it was a glamourized Warrior. Darn, I sort of wanted one, too.

I'd be willing to bet ATV Sport has not ridden one. Would also venture to say that there is a reason that mag only is capable of putting out a few issues per year and wants full subscription price. Anyways there all entitled to their opinions and that is why those mags stay on the shelfs. But if anyone is dropping out of the waiting list for the glorified warrior...YES..it moves me up another notch as I was hesitant and did not get on it right away!

Actually ATV Sport is by far the best mag when it comes to sport quads, because thats all they really care about.

ATV Sport may be the best on sport atvs but not on high-performance atvs like the raptor.
