My son bought a 2007 700 about 6 weeks ago and he follows me everywhere on my Vinson500 UTV. I do have to pull him out of a lot of holes though. He's buying some mud tires for the rally this weekend. The Raptor is really fast.

Buddy it's not a mud quad, you'll be spining all the time.

Nope...I don't take it swimming like I do with my Rincon, but does good crossing streams, mud holes, etc. Never had any issues with mud in the radiator.

its a great bike for trails and track but if it's to muddy you will ge stuck like any other 2wd bike. i have no complaints about mine and the seat is real comfy for long rides

Well to be fair, no sport quad is good in mud. Unless its a 4x4, dont get it.
