also, how much petrol does a raptor use because a 660cc engine must be thirsty, and therefore it would cost a lot to run. am i correct? how often do you have to refil your raptor of your quad? cheerz

I've raced a buddy of mine numerous times with my V Force against his Raptor, both stock, we're same the height and weight, age and rider ability, I always win in a 300ft race, it's the holeshot you can get with the V Force, you get a jump on the Raptor but then the V Force falls on it's face at about 200ft with the Raptor right on it's tail, but the V Force still ahead at the end.

If you're thinking of a Raptor, buy next spring after the new model has been tried and tested, I expect it to give very good results.

i have been looking at the z aswel but people say that it has to have some major moods to even think about competing with the raptor. but i think its a nice bike, but its no raptor. there is a video of the z on the suzuki page on the bike, handels well!

Hey dont forget, just cause your a big boy doesnt mean you can handle a raptor. People get hurt thinkin like that. If you really want to make sure your going to beat the YFZ, then get a YFZ and mod it up a little instead of getting a Raptor and a Big Bore kit. Unless money is no object to you
