Hey yellow01scram500,

If you are happy with your machine, that is fine, but don't start bashing everone elses machine, just because it's not (in your eyes) a Polaris. Just like we, (fellow Raptor owners) like our machines. Everyone has their own riding conditions and their own reason on why they made their purchase, so with that being said, let people ride what they want to ride without being so hard on everyone.

Thank You,

IronBear

Refer back to the first sentance of my last post. No bashing is intended just the facts.

Hey yellow01scram500,

I'm refering to the very first post that you made:

"All that money for one quad without 4 wheel drive. Sure it is fast on the straight smooth terrian but who is driving them on the street anyways! So sell your raptors and go get a true A.T.V. like the scrambler. It is not much slower but it more than makes up for it with TRUE 4 wheel drive and a lower price tag. So you will have the money to buy a winch to pull out your buddies raptor."

If you are happy with your raptors thats great keep them they are great quads for their intentions. But I am only speaking on what I've experienced on the trials with both quads. Only ment to get the word that Polaris has the answer for someone wanting a great all terrain sport quad. And I am trying to save them some cash.

I agree with most of this, but "snowmobile sounding" is a good thing.

That was true five years ago, polaris has eliminated 95% of their problem areas for 2000.
I should know I own a 2000.

Get your fact straight before you write STEVENS.

Thats the problem here with people at the yamaha forum, they think your bashing if you say the raptor is comparable to the scrambler.

How about this scenario. Your climbing a hill at a speed comparable to 2nd or 3rd on a raptor. The trail is wide enough to pull a doughy if you can't make the hill(typical of a polaris). How do you turn around with your BIG BAD AUTIOMATIC 2X4 POLARIS SCRAMBLER? Will it break the wheels loose? Now what are you looking at - A big blur of plastic and metal furiously bouncing of jagged rocks and overhanging trees. The trail and hill seems to be laughing at you. The smoke eminating from your pile of JUNK seems to form smiles and laughing faces. Oh my is that...is that...yes it is a Raptor furiously flying up that LITTLE hill ,spewing dirt and Boulders at your head as it screams past your wreckage and yourself. A solitaire tear falls to the ground.... lol
