Being tall does have its disadvantages thats for sure! I would really like to have a sport bike but I dont fit I would have to get a Harley which isnt all that bad though.

 

OK.. I spent the weekend at Wayne National Forest (Athens) and I have just one thing to say about the Raptor, A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!! At 6'7" and 295 pounds I fit on this thing VERY nicely. It has gobs or torque to move me around, it runs like a dream.

The shocks need upgraded, but I expected this. 300 pounds is a little over the intended 200 pounds, and I bottomed out a few times. I'm going to start with a heavier rear spring and then move on to some fronts.

I'm also going to go down to a 12 tooth front sprocket, I think it needs a little more bottom end.

Other than that I'm as happy as a new born in a topless bar.

Brad...

 

I'm 5'-10" 290lbs. I find the Raptor to be a great ride but it is tippy with my weight on it. I flipped mine going up a steep hill, I told the wife that I wanted another one but with mod's to fix the tippyness and the wife put her foot down. She is making replace it with a DS, longer and wider. Not to mention she heard me say that the load limit is 220 and DS's is 275. I'm still a Raptor fan but the wife has a few good points and the whole idea is to get my money from the insurance company and get riding again.

 

Thanks for the reports guys!, now the only problem is money
