nope not at all... Bummer on the 01 model just like I have one. I know it was going to get let go of the tranny since I have read about it. when it start to go, that where I replace mine and never had any probo since then.....

 

I live in Colorado where we have all kinds of terrain. My Raptor excels at everything it does from trail, to sand, to mx. Ive yet to see something a 4x4 can do that i cant on my rappy. No regrets!

 

My friend has a prairie 650, while it is the best 4x4 avaiable, I would not trade my Rappy for that small framed jeep. I go through crap in 2 wheel drive those guys are having trouble getting through in 4 wheel drive. Here is one way to look at it, you will be so far ahead of them on the trail who cares if your gonna get stuck, you can unstuck your self ad still be ahead of them. Get the Raptor!!!!!!!

 

No regrets here!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Depends what you want it for?If you are going to be mud bogging buy a 4x4.iI have no regrets

 

I have a raptor and grizzly. I ride the raptor 99.5% of the time. Now that I think about it, I only ride the grizzly when im out of gas. But then I might syphon gas out of the grizzly for the raptor. I ride with all types of 4 wheelers. I havent been on a ride yet to where i couldnt go where the 4X4s go. Go with the Raptor, then everyone else that has the 4X4s will want one too. Guaranteed!

 

I like mine, but you do have a good point.

I have a Blue '01, one of the first in New Orleans, I'm over 220 and it hauls my a$$ fast enough! I have had zero problems with the Raptor. I really have a great time riding it at the dunes at Dunes Inc. in Alexandria, La. as well as the great trails that are here in the South. I also have a great '88 250R. I am proud to own two of the finest sport quads ever built.
