can you please tell me if this is a good quad to buy. i would like the comments from people who have this quad and see how they like it or should i go for a differnt one.

thanks

 

what are you comparing it to? what do you plan on doing with it? i have a 700r and i LOVE it. does everything i want to do and then some

 

I'm pretty sure all the Raptor 700 owners are going to come on here and tell you they bought a terrible quad and how you should buy something different.

Get real man...

 

This bike handles awesome and has alot of torque. Its convieniant having electric start and reverse. The chain adjustment is so simple, you could do it with your eyes closed, literally.

Mods for this bike are expensive. When you do the intake and exhaust, its not like spending $10 or so on jets for a carb. The cheapest EFI controller out there is $200.

Some front end parts interchange with the YFZ 450, keeping the cost reasonable. The bolt pattern for the rims is the same as a Banshee.

Dont overload the bike though, the rear subframe is fragile, and costs $346 to replace!

 

And Pred. owners wont?

All around... I would have to say that the 700R out performs more than its share of the market. Track riding, there are better, but then again, quads for strictly track riding lask in other areas. My 700R rips asphault well, sand great and trails no problem. Plush seat, very respectable stock suspension and more than enough power to go around. I can't complain with my purchase at all. And just to start a fight, my 700R whoops the panties off troy lee preds.

 

best all round quad.............................................. .........raptor660..............

You missed my point. Of course 700 owners aren't going to come in here and rip a quad they just bought and try to talk someone out of buying it. I was pointing out that that was an idiotic question to ask here.

And I have fed many a Raptor owners my roost. Blah, blah, blah big freaking deal...
