Default Got to ride my Raptor 1000 today

Rode it about 3 hours ago, I think I'm still shaken. The bike ran great, awesome power. I only took it up third gear before chickening out. I was on a dirt road and I was told there was a two story dirt cloud always behind me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm going to head to the dunes in two weeks, to test it out in the sand.

That HAS to be one of the fastest quads on earth. You need GPS to tell us how fast she'll go. Congrats, That is one cool @$$ quad.

I will post more pics up this week. It's at my Father-In Laws and I'm going to bring it home this week and clean it up.

No it don't feel heavy at all, nice and plush.

I will have video from the dunes when we get back.

I cant believe you got it in 3rd gear!!! That thing must go faster than you want to ever imagine. Be safe in your speed judgement as well bro. We want to hear some more of that crazy ride!!!
