More so when the Honda 700xx w/irs is released," will the Honda 700xx have an advantage with irs."
There is no question which looks better, but in all honesty...
1. What is a better quad for tight trail riding, low gear using, and power through-out all ranges of the gears?
2. Is the Raptor: faster in speed, on bigger openings, longer trails... And all out balls to the wall perfonmace... With no site seeing? lol
Or will the 700xx have an advantage with lower-end crusing?
I' am seriously looking for a quad for intermediate-advance riding, but with a sharp style, and smooth feel!!!
3. Can the Yamaha Raptor 700 go slow? No pun intended! Seriously!!!
I am 5'9 225lb athlete looking for answers to find a good all around quad with the ability to hand all terrian, and all conditions...
Thanks guys, I don't mean to take up your time!
I've just spent the last three weeks going from Honda 450r. Can-Am Renegade 500-800! And now the Raptor, which feels great!
But
Frankly, all 450 are geared more for track/races! not all my concerns 15% maybe!
400ex was ok!
But with new 700xx coming! Is it worth waiting to March to find out that its too new of a design and resales will be impossible?
Lastly, is the Raptor too fast in tight corners, and too much kick for trail riding?
I do not mean to take anybodys attention away from their atv/internet conversations/interests, but I would seriously be grateful for feedback on which ATV is best suited for someone addicted to power on the fly, but hesitent to over due-it in size and be discuraged... Simply put!
P.S. Is KTM 525 geared for higher play... Or can you enjoy a nice ride through the woods, followed by intense hill climes, and fire trail blitzes!!!
P.S.S. Is Polaris outlaw 525 a good substitute for KTM? And all other atv?
Sincerely Brad Lee
