I remember when you got a P-650 and then you vanished from the Kawaski forum. I saw you reply to some topic in the Yamaha forum and noticed you have a Raptor now, Just wondering if you like your Raptor.

 

Hey TrailHog, I just saw your post. Thanks for thinking about me. Yes I do have a Raptor now, and yes I love it! I loved my Prairie 650, but I found that most of the time I was riding it in 2-wheel drive, power sliding and even jumping it. It jumped really nice. Anyway, I was riding it really hard, like a sport quad, and a day or two later, my body would tell me all about it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I would be sore for days wrestling that 650 around, I guess sport quads are light for a reason [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Anyway, I finally decided if I was going to ride like I had a sport quad, I should buy a sport quad. So I went down and looked at the Z-400 and the Raptor, and I like the Raptor better so I bought it. I love the Raptor, but some times I miss the Prairie 650. Hopefully some day I can afford both!

 

That's good to hear Area51, the P-650 has good power, but it is no sport quad. When I get a another quad it will be a Raptor ( as soon as I get this 650 paid for )I have ridden them and man, what a great quad, I've owned 3 Warriors in the past and loved them, but as far as sport quads out on the market there isn't a better gas line, trail and dirt roading quad like the Raptor in my book. If you ever go to any of dice throwing clubs out there check to see if you see someone named Sammy Brasher is working a black jack table, he's my first cuz.
Happy trails!!

 

When you get your Raptor, you will love it. It handles really well, regardless of what they say about it being tipsy. I haven't seen any "tipsy" qualities yet. And it is definitely fast. It will give you something to look forward to.
