I own a Raptor and can't ride a wheelie to save my life. I always thought it was because I was just crappy at sustaining them. My buddy has a 400ex and can ride wheelies like he was born to do it. The Raptor has the torque to get the front end up. However, they are so front-heavy, the balance point is way back there.

it's not necessarily that.. they are a big bore quad and just totally drain the gas if you are donig anything under 1/4 throttle...

it all starts with a good counterbalance [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

raptors only wheelie well,,,,,when you dont want them too....

they are good for torque trailriding wheelies however (last minute oh-shiz wheelies)

for long wheelies,,,,,gotta say 400ex or 300ex,,,,,or maybe an old bigred
