I had this same debate with myself, Pitster or Raptor, chose the Raptor in the end because of the electric start. XC racing is a dead engine start and I'm hoping it will give her the edge over the kick-start quads. She isn't used to a quad with a clutch and gears, but hopefully her learning curve will be pretty steep and she can get up to speed quickly.
Anybody know if the Raptor 125 engine is an existing Yamaha engine off a bike? I'd like to put a pipe on it pretty quick.
It would appear to be based off of the TTR stuff but not sure. We are waiting for our dealer to get the 1st one in. Its due next week and we have 1st crack at buying it..... cant wait to see how it compairs to our Honda :macho
