i know that the raptor will lose on both acceleration and topend, but by just how much? im talking about a straigh drag on tarmac and dirt. against a yz250, kx250, cr250, rm250 or the 450's [4 strokes]. whats the results of your races with these bikes?lol im aware though that these bikes bhave more Hp than the raptor, possibly torque. but replies would be nice, thanks

 

My buddy has a 93 cr250 and I cant even begin to keep up.We have never actually raced but,He just flat walks me when we are ditch running. All I have done is a hmf slip-on.

Stock Raptors are pretty weak!!!!!!! Make that all so called high-performance quads are weak against dirtbikes. I remember when my Raptor was stock & a friend of mine on a CR85, (I think) he had no problems keeping up with me... Live & learn from mistakes!!! So I did what every need for speed kind of guy would do. Got a KTM 525sx & life is King Kong in 3-D!!!!! After riding the KTM, my Raptor comes out once every blue moon. KTM rules the dirtbike world with all the variety of dirtbikes bar none & you can take that to the bank.

 

thats a big bike, 525cc but its four stroke, i wouldn't mind a kx250 or other 250cc 2 stroke as they are alot faster but aren't that expensive.

 

actually those 525sx's are pretty fast, i dont know if there faster than the 250s for sure but they rip

 

i raced a yamaha 450 4 stroke. he beat me by only 2 bike lengths. and i could not hear my shifts cuz he was modded. and i could not keep the fron end down
