so, was the raptor name chosen because of the bird of prey or the dinosaur? i was thinking the dinosaur, but i never thought about the bird.

By definition "raptor" means bird of prey. The dinosaur was a velociraptor. But they could have went with dino-names as well....lol.
 
yeah, name a utility the stegosaurus or something like that! lol

What I meant was instead of having the sports all named raptor, have em named for different raptors like the utilities are named for bears.
 
not a bad idea. im not sure many people would get it though. i think that most people think of dinosaurs when they hear raptor (like velociraptor) instead of birds. probably due to those damn jurassic park movies. hey, just a thought, wonder why yamaha didnt give the yfz450 a name like they did with raptors, warriors, banshees, ect. oh well
 
[quote:tizn0vye]The names distinguished the quads before, now they don't I don't know why they combined all these under one name its retarded.

its just how it is...the raptor riders think theyre better because it looks better and has a new name, and the warrior riders are like WTF whats the difference to call it a raptor[/quote:tizn0vye] YEAH you have alot of awnsers..... raptor riders just know they are better and look a hell of alot better then yours.............. havent been here in a while :p..............
 
I think it was dumb to change the warrior to the raptor350..honestly i like the old warrior style..they were one of a kind..even tho i have new maier plastics..they look better than the raptor350 setup..sorry thats just my opinion..they need to make a warrior400..that would be a sick ass machine!

Warrior ...... Raptor

I think Warrior is a way better name......I think they called em warriors cause they virtually last forever..and can handle some tough ass ****!
 
ok, im going to make fun of my own quad, maybe they made the raptor name because if you get enough speed the plastics enable the bitch to get up fly around like a bird a prey lol.
 
who was it that actually thought that if you went full throttle with a raptor that the front end would lift off of the ground and that was why people cut their fenders :D ::)

right on. i cant believe i bought that bs. now it will be my life's work to make a warrior fly. im gonna get wings and everything! ill show you all! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! that would be pretty cool though. maybe one of these days when i become a millionare wierdo (just need the money!) ill do that. the 300ex might be a better candidate since its lighter, but i dont think my girlfriend would appreciate me messing with it since i got it for her. anyway, later
