yes a raptor is top heavy everyone knows that, its due to its narrowed wheelbase, and tall height. either get used to it, or widened your bike up a bit.

I thought it was very stable!!! Learn to ride on a trike, then ride one....it feels like it is glued to the ground. Get your butt off the seat and use a little body english.

The Raptor can be tippy because of the way its set up wether its stock or not. Its not the machine you ride its how you ride machine. I have YFZ and I think that it is much smoother through the turns than a Raptor. You also have to consider which bike is going to better for you. For instance if your just riding trails and not trying to race go with the Raptor but if u want to race hair scrambles and mx go with the YFZ.

Raptors suck? It is a shame that anybody with the internet can join these forums. Why can't you go play with your dinkey cars like all the other 11 year olds? Leave these forums to people with intelligent questions and views. I guess I should not get baited into these things with someone whose best post so far has been HI. What is next I'm rubber your glue?
