how could a 4stroke rapter be the "new blaster" blaster is a small 2stroke and the rapter is a big 4 unless its a 350 rapter but why would that be considered anywere near a blaster, they say a stock blaster will beat any stock 400cc 4strokerwhy would you spend the big money on the new quad when a totaly rebuilt blaster would be way faster, cheaper in the end and no sacrafice of the rip snorting 2stroke power that we all know and love, the rapter being called the new blaster is a sacralage. i smoke those things all day long.
 
you cant hate on that raptor, it does look veryyy nice
 
only one way to put it "RAPTORS ARE CRAPTORS THEY ARE NOT AN ATV UNLESS ITS A 660 OR 700 ANYTHING BELOW TTHEM SUCK MAJOR 8=======D DIC*
 
I dont understand why anyone would want to own one. I dont know why anyone would want a air cooled 250 4 stroke. I have had bad luck with them they allways start smoking. They just cant take a beating like a 2 stroke can.
 
im not hating on the raptor im just saying its not the next blaster, i would love to have the 700, or even the ds650, or even yet the can-am renegade 800, or i would even go so far as to get a kfx700. but in no way shape or form is it classified anywere near the blaster, and i think my blaster would keep up till topend, i stayed neck and neck with a ds 650 for about 1/8 mile untill i maxed out at about 65-70, but i got there way faster that he did, but then he blew by me. all im sayin is dont reclassify the blaster like that, its not an overrated 4 stroke, its a way underrated 2 stroke. if your gonna represent dont be a sellout cuz you like your raptor more.

This coming from a kid that bought a 300ex and wants to get a mojave 250...
Nothing wrong with any of the raptors, things get replaced in time, the blaster is just one of them.
 
I have to say, the raptor 250's are pretty sweet little machines compared to anything else in their class that's currently on the market. You don't get the cheap speed that the blaster did, but anybody that's rode one of the 250's should be able to admit that they are fun little rides, can be thrown around just as easily as a blaster, and the suspension is definitely more refined, not like riding a pogo stick. Sure, they're not the fastest thing, but look at their features vs any other 250 4 stroke sport. They've got a real clutch, chain drive, and they weigh less with far better suspension and frame.

But to whoever said that 4 stroke 250's can't take a beating, I have to say that my experience is definitely the opposite. My first quad was a 99 honda recon, same engine and frame and sh*t as the 250ex. We beat the living sh*t out of that thing, even took it to rausch creek and ran it on the motocross tracks. That thing would spend day at peak rpm, just barely off the rev limiter, and it never failed me. After about 5 years of constant abuse and maybe 3 oil changes in between it needed a top end rebuild and that's it. I can't say that for any other 250's, but the hondas can really take a beating.

Either way, a machine in this class really shouldn't be judged that harshly on all-out performance, if you're that concerned about performance that's why there are bigger better machines on the market. Bottom line is that machines in this class are aimed at beginners, something to ride for a couple years and have fun on, and get their skills tuned in before they get a bigger, faster machine.

Yes you are right Hondas a very very reliable machines but any 4 stroke air cooled they allways start smoking for me even when i change the oil every 5 rides or so and runnung 93 octane and i only trail ride!
 
Never had that problem with my recon, at least it took about 5 years to happen. Even when they do smoke it doesn't hurt anything though, they'll keep on going. 2 strokes smoke all the time, so what's the big deal anyways?
 
i was never comparing the raptor 250 to the blaster..i just over heard guys saying it was the new blaster..I mean if u think about it down the road 2 strokes are going off the market.which sucks cause i love to strokes all i was saying was this little quad is fun as hell.For what it is i mean its not a 700 but for alittle sport quad its light and fun.i didnt mean to piss anyone off by saying what i have over heard..i havent rode a blaster for about 14 yrs so i cant wait to ride mine again and im sure i will smoke the raptor 250.one this i do notice about the raptor 250 is the cheap design i use to role my 94 blaster all the time climbing sh*t i shouldnt off and usually bend bars my nephew flipped the raptor on a little hill and the whole steering stem was bent to hell which worries me that the sh*t they are making now to be light and fast are just plain weak----my opinion im a 2strokin blaster guy sorry if i pissed anyone off and the honda 50 is a sleeper lol my little wheeling beast i show off for the neighbor girls they think its cute
 
When i got my blaster(about 3 months ago) i had the choice of getting an 06 blaster or an 08 raptor 250. I was gunna choose the raptor but my brother has a 4stroke trx90 and half the time it wont crank and it's brand new. Idk why but with my experience 4strokes just dont want to start. My blaster starts up on the first kick whether it has been sitting for a month or 2 days. Another reason why i wanted the blaster is because when i was a little kid i had a lt80 and that thing went threw HELL!!!! It was crashed and sunk in a lake and drained 1 gallon of water out of it and it still ran. It was run out of oil 3 times and still ran. Thats why i think 2strokes are better.
 
There is no doubt 2strokes are the sh*t and fairly cheap to rebuild my post was just to see if anyone had one i bought it for my nephew and he loves it.I heard stuff about it and posted to see what u guys would say i have rocked 2strokes all my life he just liked the raptor 250 so we got it for him..i rode it alittle and is pretty fun.but im a 2stroke guy...
 
i have warned all of u that there is no arguing over the internet! if i see anymore of this brewing i will give the users involved infractions

THREAD CLOSED because of the people who can't keep their mouth shut and not make an argument!
