Are they TOO heavy??? not as much as a Predator.... Similiar to the Z i have??? they race those!

They may have to high of a center of gravity with the motor sitting so high up which may affect handeling...but thats for the most part corrected with aftermarket?

Highly depends on what kind of racing you're talking about. GNCC- a lot of people. ATVA MX- can't because the engine is too big. Desert I'm not sure because well.........I live in Illinois ok.

For MX/GNCC you have to run a smaller bore under 500cc i think, just like their arent any mx/gncc predators. Anyone that ones a raptor knows where to race it, they race it at the drags, and they do very well. Dominating four stroke wars for the last couple of years the raptors are untouchable.

Wouldn't say untochable. Yea they might dominate 4 stroke for the drags but what about the 2 strokes? Engine size for gnc has to be 449 or below and i have no clue about gncc.

many people say that raptors are terrible on turns...well yeah thats bullsh!t, my buddy cut up his wheat field after they took it all off into an oval shape, kinda like a race track and i took my raptor around in 3rd gear just leaning on the side and it didnt even feel like it was gonna get a lil tipsy!
