When the Outlaw goes it will be for a KTM or a Rappy. Can't say which one yet because I have not rode a KTM yet.

For the price they want for the KTMs, they better provide a good looking hooker as a "benefit"

True, but I like the power delivery of the 525 and you do get a lot of stuff for the price.

I'm beeting you could use the money saved by going with a rappy to mod it to out preform the KTM.

I don't remember ther specs, but I think the only diffrence would end up being weight, and it's not that major

I know the Rappy would be cheaper in the long run. It would be nice to have a lower Comp motor. It would also be less maintenance. I talked Bert into buying his in 2006 so I should take my own advice :lol: I really like the way the new ones look and they have came along way in the suspension department.

this is how I talked my buddy out of it. 7k$ for raptor + $1500 in mods will kill the ktm. Maybe not on a track, but everywhere else.

The 06 Raptor front shocks aren't the greatest that's for sure.
Otherwise the Raptor has been low maintenance  :thumbs:

hmmmmmm
you gota look at the ktm before you judge it. the 700 was great, but it will need alot more then 1.5k in mods to " kill" the 525xc..

also  i think that these quads are completly different, and its like compairing pumpkins to blueberries

I don't think the xc was involved in this thread comparison was it?

tis' exactly what I posted...read again: 7k$ for raptor + $1500 in mods will kill the ktm. Maybe not on a track, but everywhere else.

I don't ride a track. ;)

 Those KTM's are ripping up the gncc series though. I won't say they are bad bikes, but they are too expensive to buy to just ride once or twice a month. Most of us don't get to ride that much, so the rest of the time is spent modding one part at time.(half of the fun) :thumbs: Raptor is a much better machine for me. I need quad to be low maintenance, durable, and easy to repair. Raptor is an easy win. Oh, and comfortable to ride all day.
