awesome advice, thanks you.
im not sure how much a 2002 raptor goes for (and i dont want an 01!) but i do know what 01's go for in canada, around 4500. I dont know if my dad would pay that much. Im considering building a 250R, but that would take like 3 years for me. If I could have anything it would be an 02 raptor. My dad said he would rather pay monthly for something reliable than to buy a cheap money pitt. So if we found an 02 raptor for like 80 bucks a month, he might do it. But for now, all we have to start out is 1000 (from my dirtbike). I'd much rather have a quad than a bike, because of snow riding. Just how reliable are raptors? I never see 250R's in the paper here.
