my buddy had a raptor 700 that he raced harescrambles with....he raced it about 5 times before trading it in on a yfz 450 because the raptor was wayyyy to heavy and hard to lug around.
it has about 47 pounds on the yfz.. if you can't throw it around you shouldn't be racing....
800 Renegade can jump. You really should ride one. Had my friends about 12ft in the air with no worries.
Who let the feller in who likes to bash Polaris. I like Honda to, but I can bash the crap out of Honda if you like.
ahhh o wasnt aware of that.
thats cool.
makes me like them even more.
but come on people.
only the people who own raptors are saying they are the best trail quads.
ill be honest, i like yamaha and in no way im i being biased but the Polaris has so much more on it.
lighter,more power,IRS, ground clearance
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!
to teh guy buying,
you wont be disappointed with a raptor, but you could have it a little better with the Outlaw.
LOLOLOLOLOL
IRS makes it have LESS of a chance of flipping.
WOW.
lol

untill you have to take it back to the shop every other week.. and you figure out its slow...
im getting just about annoyed.
polaris's are just as reliable as anything else. excet honda, but thats not the point. only the EARLY model Polaris's had trouble with their belts and such.
the newer model outlaw 525's [by reviews everywhere] have not had any problems.
and NEWS FLASH the raptor is heavier. not by much but thats not the point..
raptor has pointless weight.
and your looking at 4.4 inches of ground clearance from the raptor vs. 11 INCHES from the outlaw.
its just all around better.
ill say it again. dont get me wrong. raptors are cool. but they arent all they are cracked up to be. they are overrated.

Were just giving you a hard time. On a straight axle quad when you take a tight turn your inside rear wheel generally comes off the ground. Or you powerslide through it. On a quad with IRS, both rear wheels have a shock and can move independently. When you travel through a tight turn both wheels keep equal friction on the ground.
No offence intended BillyBuck. Just repeating what I heard from other owners. I've owned four Honda ATV's over the past several years, beat the heck out of them and never had any problems. I can't say the same about any other manufacturer....
No offence taken. Just stating my opinion. This fella who started this post is looking for options. What I mean is what works for you or I , my not work for somebody else. That is why they have more than one atv manufactor.
Also the Rincon is a blast to ride to.

Ride,
type about it,
or go lay on the porch with the puppies!
I've had 6 different quads over the last five years and each has it's own personality. Guess it just depends on what type of riding you do.... The Outlaw is very innovative, but I'm still leaning towards the new Honda TRX 700. Anybody out there have one? Looks like Honda's answer to the Outlaw.

so why did they have so many recalls.. one of them was because it would start on fire..
