Isn't another company being sued by Yamaha for cloning their bikes and quads? I'd be leary of selling any product that looks like another product from a well established corporation with lots of lawyers. Besides that point it does look kool.

Looks more narrow then a raptor and the body seems higher.

The supplier I work with for these ATVs is very very reputable and I kno they would not even come close to risking there business if it was not 100% legal. Don't get me wrong, I would be a little leary too. I did my research before I decided to carry there line of ATVs that I have been carrying for 6 months now. Thanks for the concern though.

Thanks,

Looks good. Redcat appears to be moving up in quality from the pics.

Looks nice but you can get a Raptor 350 around here for about 4400 OTD. Personally I'd spend the extra $500 and buy a Yamaha.

It puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose again

The way I see it, I have not been able to ride it yet, but you would be paying $500.00 extra for a few stickers and emblems. Just my opinion...

resale value.... Not knocking your product, but 500.00 for resale value later down the road.
Price point is the only thing the chinese have going for them in the ATV market. they are the only option in the NEW buggy market... That is why most of us are here...
I do like your 800cc kart. i might come to del riko this summer and look at one.

Yeah, you have a point there on resale..we will see how that goes in terms of selling them used. I just can't give an opinion on that seeing is they have not hit market yet.

The Raptor 350 is just a Yamaha Warrior with new plastic and a couple of minor upgrades. It is one of the most reliable quads out there and is an excellant trail machine. Hopefully the clone you will be selling does good for you. I have to say though if it came down to a $500 differance I'd definately go with the Yamaha. Not only for the resale value but I'm sure that a Japanese factory that has been making the ATV for close to 20 years (the Warrior debuted in the late 80's) would turn out a much higher quality product with higher quality components than a clone built in a Chinese factory.

I'm not knocking your product but in my opinion the Yamaha would be a better deal at $500 more. Plus you would have the support of your local Yamaha dealer for warranty work and such. If you could knock off another $500 then it would really start to look good.

just my $.02
