hello. i was wondering what u raptor boys(and girls) think of honda's new 700XX. from what i hear, it may be faster than the raptor 700R. i kno that they are not out yet, but what do you think of them from what u have seen and heard?

 

Id say it would be a sweet woods machine, its got IRS so the handling may be alittle iffy, I still like the straight axle machines myself. As for it outperforming a Raptor 700R is yet to be seen. Being a Honda, Id expect it to be a very solid machine.

 

i agree. i should be a great trail bike but i dont think its faster that the raptor 700. i hear thats a bad *** quad. but i think the honda is a better trail bike becuase of the I.R.S. and the ground clearence. (dose the raptor 700 have F.I.)

yeah, very different. that 100 or so pounds makes a huge difference in a drag race. the raptor is a heavy bike also. i think the honda is ugly, it looks, i dont kno what it looks like but man, its ugly! i also think the new 400ex is odd looking too, but thats a totaly different bike. the raptor looks cool, well i think it does. now that i think about it, i wonder how the honda stands to the predator as a sport bike. the raptor and predator are both sweet bikes.

I agree,the Honda 700 looks more like a comfortable open country type of riding ATV.while the Raptor is a have fun in the dunes or pits type of machine.

 

whats the top end on a raptor and a predator, do u guys kno. i would take the raptor over the honda, the I.R.S. ruins it for me. i love a staight axle

 

I am Not worried about it i will drag race the first one i come across and probably beat it ha ha..
