Okay. The raptor 350 is an awesome quad. Its very reliable so far, since i had it up over the rear fenders in mud, flipped it a couple times and what not. It has very good low end torque, as well as top end speed. I can beat my old modded blaster with it no problem while my raptor is stock. Although it does have a lot of power, it does not have as much as I thought it would...but I heard if you get a filter and a pipe, it really wakes them up, but I have not done so yet. I really enjoy the qaud because i could not depend on my blaster like I can this, but remeber im comparing a $700 blaster to a $4599 Raptor. Stock, it is not really a wheelie machine, unless you lie popping your clutch, but that can be fixed with new tires and maybe gearing. The raptor gets A LOT of looks while im out, everyone thinks it is one of the nicest colors they seen in a qaud, which its always nice to hae someone think your qaud is nice when they have banshees and 700 raptors
