Default Raptor or Z400?

I am debating. Im only 15 but I am a really good ride and I am debating on what to get. Im not sure if i should get a Raptor 660 or 350, or maybe even a Z400. I want the Raptor 660 but i heard its top heavy and doesnt have a good balance point for wheelieng. Can someone please help me? Thank you

It depends on what you want to do and how big you are. Are you tall, short, light, heavy? Tall and/or heavy, I say go with the Raptor, but I'm 6' 6", 230, so I'm kinda biased. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The Z400 is an excellent quad and has a lot of potential. If you like to wheelie and are concerned about tippiness, get a Z400. Aftermarket parts are pretty much a push as each has a ton of support from the industry. I think you would be happy with either of them as they are both great machines.

Well im kinda medium im about 5'3 but i lift weights alot and play football i weight about 170... Not worried about the tippiness to much if i fall then i fall no big deal... Does the raptor have a good balance point cuz i want to be able to wheely like i could on a 400 but i want a raptor becuase of its speed....

all the 400's are by far better with wheelies than the 660, but you cant beat the raptor for power compared to them, what type of riding will you be doing, trails, track, drags.....
