Default Drove a Raptor today!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im speechless! ive been waiting to get rid of my X to buy a raptor and i finaly got my friend to meet me at the atv park today with his 660 that has been lowered for flat track racing and that thing hauled AZZ!!!!!!!!! there is no comaprasing between the x and the raptor lol haha but after i drove the Z400,Banshee and Raptor i would have to say if a drag the shee has it no matter what you have in your raptor if u get a modded shee just kiss ur raptor goodbye but in everything else i LOVE the raptor im just worried about everything brakeing becuase i heard about them being "Craptors" and they always brake! and the Z is good just the raptor will walk away from it though

any ways any hints and what has happend to your raptor that wasnt you fault?

The raptor got the nickname "craptor" because of it's first production year.(2001) It's a stigma that some people just can't let go of. If you get a 2002 or later model, you'll have a sweet quad.
