Third gear is off some  in my opinion. Also, I wish they had come up with something different for frame gaurds. They look sweet until the first time you ride it!

1. Gearing is too high for more technical climbs.
2. Sliding is hard in the sand and understeer drives me nuts with paddle tires. (this is obvious and everyone knows it, but on the trail I haven't had the same issues)
3. Black plastic is starting to show scratches.
4. Front brake rotors don't have any mud covers on them (even my 400EX had them) and when you get in som mud the dirt eats away at your pad surface creating no brakes at your 1st grab.
5. Reverse could be easier to reach. (handlbar mounted switch?)
6.Funky rear wheel offset.
7. Dinky front bumper.
8. The aftermarket is catching up, just slower than I would wish for. :)

...other than those things I love it. It haul butt and has excellent torque. I went up some really steep and tecnical (sand) climbs litterally with one hand.

i dont like that all my buddies want to try it out. i dont like riding thiewr rough 450's. lol. but otherwise i dont like how aftermarket is taking its time making stuff for it. otherwise she rocks. and if you guys want more bottem then change the fornt to a 12 tooth sproket. any 450r sproket will fit. huge difference. almost makes first useless. for me it is good when i am cruising with the wife and kids though.

I put a 13 tooth on mine {factory 07 450r fits} took 5min,,,
the 14 tooth on there is realy to big its geared for desert riding,,, fifth gear is realy high and the step between third and forth is a bit big
13 tooth is perfect

The only thing I dont like about my 700XX is watching my best buddy ride his 700R and knowing that  he is getting  a bad case of monkey butt while riding his Raptor . Also having to hear all the rocks hitting his swingarm skid plate.... as I clear then with ease... ;)
Other than that I love it ........ ;D

Just picked it up last night and I don't like how it's sitting in the garage and I'm at work.
