Default Raptor 700R

I'm thinking about getting one, anyone here own one or rode one yet? Seems to be a pretty sweet bike. I'd really like to go with a Banshee but prefer to have a bike with reverse and a bike I can drive up to the pumps and fill it up. I'm just a little weary of the new fuel injection system, I know it's suppose to work great and is excellent for starting, but it's new and I'm curious how it will hold up to the elements.

I rode a 660R the other day....they are fast. But if i was gonna buy a quad, i would get something 4x4

The best 4-stroke hands down is the YFZ450. And the Banshee owns everything

I'm not impressed with the 660's. The only reason they are as fast as they are(and they aren't really fast)is because they have such a big motor. 350cc Banshees will walk all over the 660 Raptor. I'm just not a big fan of 4 strokes. Why ride a 4 stroke that requires twice the motor to produce half the power of a 2 stroke? 4x4 quads are too big and too heavy. Great for 90 year old ladies who just want to cruise around the woods in 1st gear, but if you're serious about riding and actually want something competitive, skip the 4x4 4 strokes with automatic transmissions.
