 Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:59 pm Post subject: Raptor 250 or 125? |
  |
|
H guys, I'm 13 and saving for a new quadbike atm. I can save enough for a 250 Raptor if i work hard enough and by my birthday/christmas (they're both right next to each other) i should be able to buy it. Anyway, i am riding a polaris outlaw 90 right now and i am very comfortable on it. Would a 250 raptor be too big and powerful for me or would it be fine?

How long have you been riding for? also are you looking at new or used?
Honestly I always say go for the next one up in the list eg 250 then 450 etc but in this case I would go out on a limb and say a 250 raptor.
But wait for more people to respond with their ideas. |

| Yeah go the 250. The transition from 90 to 125 will be easier but you'll be wanting something faster within a week. The 250 also has way more good after market stuff if you want to tweak it a bit or a lot |

yeah, i was looking at the 125 but on my 90 i only ever ride full throttle really so thats exactly what i thought. And i have been riding the 90 for a year and a half now
