I would not get a black one. Black shows all the scratchs. I have scratchs all over my black side panels and I`ve ridden in the woods twice.

yea, thats one of the awesomest lookin quads ive ever seen, but its probably only good for show. the black SUCKS! scratches make it look WAY worse than maier!

[Striker49]

Thats probably why it is limited edition. It looks good for show but thatd be all the color is good for.

Yeah that is awesome. Even though its a CRAPTOR. Just kidding yamaguys, :blah

[bsr]

Yeah black and white are one of the best looking colors out there but are the worst for scratches.. And yes they probly only going to make so many of the limited edition ones... Its probly just going to cost more for something that your going to scratch up the first week..


RIDE HONDA !!!!!!!!!

i say this time and time again.the only reason why the side panels look like crap so fast isn't all because they are black it is because of the constant friction on them from your legs.yes black does show scratches more than any other color but i think you would get about average life out of a full set of them reguardless of color.1/2 of the 300ex plastic is black and i really don't hear anyone complaining as much as i do 400ex owners complaining about the side panels.you said your panels are scratched from 2 rides through the woods?well if the side panels are scratched from the woods i'd hate to see how bad the rest of the plastic looks my friend had a 300ex with 1/2 black plastic and put 2 very harsh years on it and the front(black)section of the plastic didn't look much worse than the red

Good point Crday98. All of my plastic is really scratched from riding in the woods. I knew it would happen, but I didn`t think it would happen in the first two weeks of having it.

ive seen a raptor with all red plastic before it was pretty pimped out...

about the black plastic thing, i actually think that the black by my legs is WAY less scratched then my front fenders, black too, legs kinda protect it..................but then again, most of my scratches are from the ground........
