Default SPARKS RAPTORS

I was wondering at the FOUR STROKE WARS; at which point up the hill did the sparks raptor start to pull away. Did the bike pull hard through the beginning of each run or did it come on harder late during the runs;more like after about 250 to 400 ft. and then pull away.

I know that my Sparks 690 is quick and pulls hard from bottom to top. I think it is able to beat a lot of quads, because of the quick acceleration. I was able to outrun a Tecate 3 on alcohol thru the quarter mile at the local dragstrip. I have seen much faster quads than mine, but they were all dragbikes. This is one "trail" quad that I am very proud to own[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Rapraider, are you running the high rev cam; they are a hard cam to run with. I've got a friend running one in his 690 and in his Saprks727 both which run like no other raptors i've rode; except maybe mine.

AIRRAPTOR you got your *** handed to you, you were not even in the race not to mention you rolled the start did you see how bad that 465 ex beat you and if you look at the begining of the race you were 5 bikes ahead before he even started your bike is a turd! As for you saying you won the sec. race well look again and you see your rolling the start and it looks to me that the the kid missed a gear or got out of shape in the woops I think your lucky the hill was not any longer or he would have caught you!

Air you did roll the start big time when you won. They were catching you too. Those sparks bikes are damn fast. Im very impressed with the 465ex. Maybe i will build my 400 to kick Dabeeches ***.

Not to mention the fact that Airraptor has a nasty habit of cutting across in front of the people he's racing and roosting the hell out of them. I saw this in person and the videos confirm what I was seeing. Air, do you do that on purpose or do you just not know how to ride????
