Raptor 700 is no longer the king

[Stoopidbot1]

The newest issue of QUAD (JUNE/July) they do a big-bore shootout. They compare the KTM 525, Raptor 700, Polaris 525IRS, Polaris 525SRA. The overall winner was the KTM. 2nd place but nowhere near the KTM was the Raptor. They even state that the money one would spend on the Raptor 700SE is only 1000 less than the KTM. With everything that KTM offers on there quad, one would be a fool not to go with KTM.

the KTM was my new fav since it came out.

outlaw has been getting a lot of crap in the mags lately.

[Stoopidbot1]

I think the KTM525 will be my next quad.

I really like the KTM 525 myself, but I've been reading about engine issues with it. Take a look at the Can-Am DS 450.

I can't stand CAn am. It's mainly the attitude of the Can am owners. By the time I'm ready to buy it won't be a first year quad. They wiull have the bugs worked out. I use to own a KTM dirt bike. I love them, they make superior machines. They just have to work out the kinks.

[trailblazer_02]

whenever i get a STEADY job, the ktm will be wat i get as well. i love the fact of OHLIN shocks straight from the factory!! suspension is expensv these day and the ktm with all the chromoly parts, adjustable rear axle and ohlins shocks that equals about 1500- 2000 bucks. i might even look into the 450sx

[ATV_Macho_Man]

How about the Honda TRX700?

It'll probably give these big bore ATVs some company.

Maybe we can work something out! I would probably keep the TRX for a buddy bike. Some one comes along and they don't have a toy.

[trailblazer_02]

lol

nah i mean you can just give me the CR instead.,

[Stoopidbot1]

You would kill yourself on the 500. That thing can and will stand up in ANY gear.

[trailblazer_02]

yeah that was the joke part lol.

[CK1999_400ex]

just had to bring this back to life ... i do alot of quad drags and the craptors that show up to race rarely even make it to the second round ... the quads that winn most of the drags are auto trans polaris 2strokes with big bores and clutch mods ... or the can-am's big bore 4x4 quads ...

[rappy97]

^ You haven't saw a real Raptor then lol.
