Have you got what it takes to be the world's fastest?
 
Did you add a little meat to the equation since the last time you were here? I dont remember a 727 rocket raptor...

i gotta say that i've been whatching you with this thig since i found out about it . both my cousins are sponsered by alba action (for motorcycle motocross) and live in ramona cali. when they told me to look on the alba website and i saw your raptor i instatly wanted to learn more. i watched all the videos ect. On your second version the one that you have now why did you put those MASSIVE wing type things on the back??

Coolguy8769, Oops, sorry about forgetting to add a reply. The wings are just for looks during parades and exhibitions. The alba site shows the bike in race form (version 3.0). And, yeah, when it hits, it's a rush.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, it WAS a re-sleeved 727 for a while. But, we got better performance with the 686 so went back to it. But, when Dirt Wheels did the story, it was still a 727.

I seen that article in dirtwheels and was wondering if that was you. I think it is a great idea. It benefits everybody, the more attention ATV's get, the more machines and products will be available.

I was also wondering about that big wing, does that really help stabilize it?
No stabilization, just looks. The story was done right after I organized the Guiness ATV World Record Parade and they were there for exhibition only. By the ay, that story is in the same mag as the rocket. And I fully agree, the ATV's need the press.

Congrats. I saw a bunch about your bike very impressive. But I was wondering what the rules are to the record such as limitations. Because there are shees that hit over 130 in a 1/8 mile drag with banshee engines but thats not a record.
Guiness says you have to have a production bike, no bodywork other than cutting and some minor plastic changes, and you have to sustain the average speed over a full 1/8 mile, two consecutive passes in two directions, off-road, flying start. There are other rules, but we plan to make up different categories and rules as we make this happen. Thanks.

yeah i'm not one to brag but i hit 121.5 on my warrior. it's almot stock but it has scott racing grips on hit.{man they add the horse power} but getting back to my 121.5 run i would have hit 123 but my no fear sticker blew off and that knocked me down to around 60 or so but i'm looking for another sticker so watch out i might just set a NEW WORLD RECORD...i case you had not noticed the sh!t is getting deep on my screen[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Congrat's on the record......it would be a challenge just to stay on a quad at that kind of speed.
