No, but you may hurt yourself. Buy a Raptor.

Saw one today (tried to buy it, but it was already sold.) Nicer graphics, softer seat, and I think the gear shifter was different. Watch for the 2005 Special Edition (its yellow.)

Ok, I got my 05' today, red & white. They changed the graphics, made the seat softer, changed the shifter, and fixed a problem with engine plugs that come out on the 04' models. I hear they changed the suspension also, but will have to set it next to my 04's to see the diff.

So have you had a chance to see if the suspension is different. Is the seat more comfy?
I am debating getting one, but my dealer does not have any 05's yet. I would guess any day he should have them.
He still has a couple of 04's.
What plugs are you talking about? I had not heard about that.
Thanks

No dad won't be racing, the only quad set up for the track is my daughter's, and I don't have any track time under my belt.
Current list of quads:
1 Honda TRX250ex
3 Honda 400ex's (two are 440's)
1 Honda TRX450ex
3 Yam 450's
But who's counting?
Buy the kidney belt.

Jul 7 2004, 09:24 PM
Kidney belt, yes i need one bad, but i need nerfs, id rather have my insides hurt than have a cast on my leg, i will eventually get a kidney belt,
oh and dang i cant believe ya have so many bikes, i knew the wades, they had 2 northstar lt rails, 9 quads (lt80, breeze,, 2 250ex's, 300ex, 3 banshees, and a raptor), and then they had all the river toys, a modified car of cajon speedway, and a couple golf carts, and ofcourse the h2 and f350 and a lexus, but hey they got arrested for fraud i think, that just happened to, they were pretty nice to, but now you are the richest guy i know
oh im counting

Tron, if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay out the door for the 05?
Thanks for the other info also.

Tron is out of town for a week. He bought it at Temecula Motorsports and got a real good deal but keep in mind its like the 10th bike he bought from them so they give him alot off sticker cost. I believe he paid just a little over 7K.

Thanks for the info, I am going to be picking one up and just wanted to see what is a decent price.
