that thing is a PIG. shocked when i rode one for the first time at glamis. i thought a 700 would be crazy, but a 10 year old banshee absolutely smoked it everywhere. suspension was WAY too soft, and the motor was lazy thru the gears. anyway, that was out in the sand dunes, maybe it's a different story in hardpack dirt.

Its kind of a tweener quad.....electric start and reverse. Isnt the motor just a hyped up Grizzly motor? My business partner has the GYTR version, piped and with a PCIII. Pretty fast but no true sport quad.

oh man, that sucks. I would have thought it would have been better.

btw, if you ever need company in the sand, give me a buzz

the red special edition is nice in person. its best color scheme i think they have done.. tho they still have the ugly grey and maroon frames on others.. the new rator 250 is a hoot. buddy bought one as spare for friends to ride, and sold his ltr450 with suspension and exhaust on it. said the raptor 250 was just too much fun
