I mean do you wish you would have bought a different bike..say a 4x4 instead??

See i REALLY want a raptor..REALLY REALLY REALLY bad..but EVERYONE (expect for a few people) say im gonna regret it..it cant go anywheres, you'll get stuck without 4wd..blah blah blah..i hear it daily!

So what i want to know..if i get this bike..am i gonna regret it?? i guess you guys cant really answer that one..but has anyone else wish they would have gone the 4x4 route??

 

Nope, not me

Really happy so far

 

Nope here also the funnest 4 wheeler I have owned and i have had a few. The performance posibillitys are endless

 

I guess if you live in an area where 4x4's are the only way to get around you might regret it. The raptor has more than enough power to get you up and around anything. Some areas that require the use of front wheel power might hinder your progress but, when its wide olpen areas you can haul azz and kick back, drink a beer and wait for your friends to catch up.

No, I've never regreted buying a Raptor. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I dont regret it at all. But if you have any need for a 4x4 it could make you look elseware for a more suitable quad. If you need a 4x4 A Grizzly 660 is a excelent bike and is part Raptor.

 

make sure it aint a 2001 raptor unless it has the tranny upgrade

 

hey, this last weekend I was out riding with a 4x4, the same stuff he was sinking in, I was just driving over the top of. Same principal as the raptor, being 2 wheel drive and about the same weight. Get some wide flat tires and you can cruise over the minor- bad stuff, but the big all out mud holes are best to stay away from, usually there is a steep bank on one side that you can use to drive around it, the 4x4s would tip over if they used it.

 

See my dad has a Kawi 650 and it moves, no doubt, but it doesnt have the handling that i want, its just not for me...sure it works good and such..goes pretty much anywheres, but again, not for me. SO its a raptor for me! that is if i can get a good enough price on a 02 model!

are realtors all around good tires??

 

Now that I have done all the work myself on my own Raptor. Tranny, Piston, Cam, Head Work. I would not trade it for the world. It screams and scares the hell out of me!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Look, I have an 01 raptor, and have NOT regretted it one bit, yes I pulled the tranny apart to update it.
But big deal. It was kickn *** stock, and I can't wait to have it togther with my mods.
