I think the raptor is liked because it is so easy to adapt it to
differnt types of ride, anthing for the mother-in-laws bike,
to a full out dragger!!!

Thank you, we needed to add some lightheartedness to this post. I'm not sure what is with this kid but? Opps, I just answered my own question. KID, My dad can beat up you dad!!! syndrome. Maybe his nuts haven’t dropped yet and he’s trying to prove himself. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Anyhow, who cares who’s is faster or whatever. I bought the rapt because I love the look and it has awesome power. Maybe not the fastest or the biggest but more than enough, for now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hey just like the jetskis, I could say anyone who rides a quad 94 wheeler) is because they are to uncoordinated to ride a motorcycle. I mostly ride standup jetskis and there is a love/hate relationship between stand-ups and sit-downs.

there is no replacement for displacement[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

big engine and comfy ride, plus reverse and it has mods everywhere which turns it into a great hobby machine(always upgradeable)

plus it gets reviews that say its good at everything(great at nothing) which lets peeps customize it the way they ride(which might equal great)

complete package for decent price

I just bought a raptor a couple of months ago and I think that it is the best quad that I have ever ridden.
Once you get the front and rear suspension adjusted to your weight. You get that bodily extention feeling.
I have no problem going full out in 5th gear and turning a corner, the tires have no problem at all sliding out.
It really easy to contrl it at top speed too, especialy if you het your suspention adjusted. Also I don't understand
why everybody says that the Raptor is top heavy, I have never experienced this yet and I have been in every condition
with my quad. I also love the ground clearance as opposed to the shee, Especiall with the railroad tracks near my house.
You could never get a Shee over thise things.
Those are just a few reasons why I love my Rappy.

Calm down, Lovbyts, i'm not here to bash rappys and i dont think that i deserve to be insulted for asking a legitimate question. I'm just curious about the reasons that raptor owners like their bikes so much, and i do like a number of things about rappys, and i certainly consider them a valuable bike that has made a noticable impact on the industry. I have stated a number of reasons i prefer my banshee over my father's raptor and i completely understand why many people want raptors instead of banshees, there are many situations for which a rap is a better choice than a shee. Its just what suits your riding style best, im not going to say that a banshee is faster so that makes it better, i dont care, as long as it gets the job done and you have a good time than it was a good choice.

You’re funny, you say you are only asking legitimate questions but then try to tear down each reply you get by saying your banshee is better at that or this. Don’t worry, I'm not upset or going off, you will defiantly know it when I do I'm just stating some facts also and trying to show you how stupid it all is and you look when you try to cut down other peoples choices. We all need choices or life would be boring.

Why is there always somebody who has to come in a ruin a thread like you? If you dont think my questions are legit, dont bother posting, because if i thought they were legit before, you arent going to change my mind so you're only wasting your time. I havent torn down anybodys reply or said that my shee is better at everything than anybody else's bike. I have merely stated that for me (if i need to clarify this more it means "in my opinion" or "suits my riding style best") a banshee was a better choice than a raptor.

I was just curious, like I stated a number of times before, why raptor owners prefer their bikes. Notice that nobody else has gotten upset about this thread and everybody has said something that added to the thread positively and answered the question I originally asked, you were the only one who got defensive and seemed to think that I hate raptors or that I think my banshee is the best bike in the whole friggin' universe. I'm amazed that I was able to write this without getting too crazy and if you dont mind, I really would appreciate you not wasting any more of my time with bogus claims that I'm cutting down other peoples choices, I'm tired of explaining myself to you.

Well lets see, this was taken from your 2nd post.
"I would have to agree that rap's are for ppl who cant ride shees, lol, j/k.
I'm glad that they made raptors, it lets a lot of people who are less experienced still enjoy the atv experience and they're less dangerous for an inexperienced rider to ride than banshees"

That’s kind of like me saying you’re just a dumb kid, LOL J/K IMO.... You probably get the point that I still mean it, right? so in fact you are trying to cutting others down.

Also if you actually read others post and your own reply you will see I am not the only one who got a little bothered by you youthful arrogance and ignorance. Oh, IMO [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
