For me the raptor seems to be the best COMPROMISE. It's narrow which I find to be an asset in woods riding. It has reverse even though it's geared ridiculously high. Actually the perfect quad for me would be the Raptor with a Warrior transmission. 6 speed with a super low reverse gear. As for reality I'll just add a +2 swingarm and maybe a sparks 690 kit ($$$) If it passes my co-workers banshees and gives me the braggin rights it'll be just perfect!

 

if the perfect quad existed then we'd all buy it and every one else would go out of business all the way from the after-marketers to your mechanic. because it would never need an up grade and never tear up. i'm proud to announce that my mechanic and the after-marketers truly love my check book and my quad. later, RRR
