Power in the reserve is great. I ride tight wooded trails on mine. It was my first quad, i weigh 145. Sure it can stretch your arms a bit but that power comes in real handy when you're shooting up a hill and realize half way up it's bigger than you first thought. Now I will say there can be too much power for example if you're a beginner and you take a CR500 for a spin through the woods. Ouch. I'm still pulling wood splinters out of my back.

Saying a girl is too pretty is a real possibility you know! Ever heard the term "too cute to commute"? Someone I know from the Bronx told me that one.

 

i know the whole thing is if i want it to go fast i can make it.. i just don't want it to be uncontrollable all around. also waht are the problems with 2nd gear on 01's. cuz there are tons of them for good prices. just wondering. tha

If you are a beginner I do not suggestion buying this quad and yea the 01's did have tranny problems mine is an 01' and has never had a tranny problem so I guess Iam very lucky but if you do buy an 01' ask if it has 02' tranny in it if not I would be skeptical n-e-ways good luck with your new purchase[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I am about 150, and me and my dad just bought raptors, and i havent had much experince other than riding here and there with buddies on thier quads. but all it takes is practice, and getting used to it...i would highly suggest getting a raptor...or YFZ 450....it is a total blast...i am addicted.

 

The Raptor is a great choice, you'll get used to it, especially with the thumb throttle, the power and sneak up on you with a twist if you're not used to them. Even I twist mine on accident when I hit unexpected bumps... That's always fun! It's all about getting used to it.
