Denylust Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well I’ve been riding quads sense I was about knee high. Right now I’m 15 and I have a 350 raptor. I've had it for about 3 or 4 years and I have no problem riding it what so ever. My question is what do you think I should get next? I'm looking for something faster because what I have now is fine and all but it can't do a lot of the stuff I want it to do. Thanks in advance.

offroadracer Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 700 Raptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don29palms Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 The 700 raptor would be my suggestion. It's a great all around quad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceisback Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Study up on the Can Am DS450. By all accounts it is the baddest out of the box ATV built to date. So far nothing has been able to keep up with it and it is so technologicly advanced that it may never be caught up with. Look at what Can Am has done with the Renegade, has any other manufacturer even won a GNCC race since the release of the 800??? I think you can see where my loyalties lie but truth be told there are a lot of quality machines out there on the market now. You can't go wrong with a whole multitude of them, the TRX450R, Rappy 700, Outlaw 525, etc... Best thing to do is hit the dunes with a bunch of your friends who have a wide assortment, ride them all and then get what suits you the best. But why be like every other Tom, d*ck, and Harry and grab up a Yammy just because it's the "in thing"? Set yourself above and apart from the norm. Can Am/BRP.

Why would anyone want a quad with 87 technology with all of the new stuff that is out there. Yes the banshee is an awesome hill shooter. But overall duner, There is soooo much better out there.

1BADYFZ Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 A great all around quad...700 raptor :mischevious: I like my LTR450 alot and it's a light fast bike and i also like the Raptor700r, diffrent bike but both great for dunes or trails.. The older guys seem to like the 700r more for it's forgiveness on the dunes and the power it has and the all around comfortable ride of the bike.. :mischevious: the LTR or the YFZ is a more agressive ridden quad, well it likes ti be ridden hard with alot of body movement which makse it shine in the dunes for me..I will actuelly say the LTR is 10x better in the soft ride dept. compared to the YFZ, when it's ruff the YFZ is a horrible ride unless your pinned ..JMO I have had them all ..

aceisback Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 After all it is't like Yamaha's are good bikes or anything Go back and read the whole post Buckwheat. I believe that I said there were a whole multitude of awesome machines on the market nowadays. I even mentioned specifically the Raptor 700. Killer machine. Just for little folks, not those who are taller and heavier of weight like myself. But, no, Yamaha's will not stand the test of time like the Bombardier's. Most reliable, dependable, bulletproof machines ever manufactured. Not saying Yammy's aren't worth their cost either. So take your little mentalitly and shove it up your . Take the context of the WHOLE post and don't try to twist one sentence into something it wasn't intended to be. What are you some kind of Southern Baptist preacher??? As you can tell the majority of the post in the thread are leaning heavily to the Yamaha side of the house, hence my "in crowd" comment. There are not a million Yammys at the dunes because they are the best product, it's just like the Rhino's, by far not the best SXS, but Joe and Tom have them so I'm going to run out and get one too. Can Am if that's what you wanted me to say. Go Honda. :freakin_nuts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
