hey im not trying to start anything. i love yamaha they make a great machine. well the story is this: i got this kid that lives a few miles from my house he has a completely stock raptor well anyways the kid wont ride with me he is reall cocky. well i was thinking about challenging him to a drag race. i would take place for a 1/4 mile on pavement. now im a big guy and he is like maybe 180. all i wanna know is do you guys think that my ex with the mods and 15/37 gearing got 22"s on the back could I beat the kid in acceleration and top speed???should i put 20$ on it? his is all stock and he aint that great a rider
just wanted to know what yall thought thanxx

 

Go for it and whoop his A$$

 

Why make the pain so long, just go for a 1/8 mile run. This way you won't have to worry about him running you down in the long hall.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Plus you'll get your cash that much faster![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

You will probably beat him on th 1/4 mile but i would make it shorter. Raptors tend to catch up to 400exs after the take off but you will get the jump.

 

yeah i think i just might my ex aint no rocket ship but it goes at a preety good clip. its like a old road by my local lumber mill so this is all gona take place in the next few days or when i see him next. im gonna throw down the 20$ i think ill win just wanted to make sure.. i just dont understand why he never asks to ride with me? it slike every time i see him he just stares at me and gives me the evil eye. i mean besides maybe his tranny will blow up half way through the race!!! that would really **** him off

 

It will probably come down to, who is the better rider. After all, You have a bunch of mods and he don't. Go ahead and try it and let us know how you make out!

 

The best place to beat him would be somewhere where the rider would be most important. You can not buy riding ability. Maybe you shouldn't do that in case you ever want him to be your riding buddy.

Daren

 

hey ride or die how do you like your shee for trail riding??? im selling my ex to get a shee or a quadzilla. i want something with sick power i heard zilla cant be beat but are they reliable?? and i was gonna get the shee and put the lrd 380 on with nos i think that would be unstopable

 

You will probably smoke him bad

 

If the kid can't ride you may have a shot. Stock Raptors are very fast on pavement. I believe he'd run you down in a 1/4 mile if he's not scared to go that fast. Make it an 1/8 mile and you'll probably be alright. JMO
