Are the 700s raptor really top heavy like I hear

The 700 motor weighs more than a 450 and is taller. The radiator is mounted higher too. This is why they feel more top heavy than a 450. A 700 has the potential to make more power and it comes in at a lower rpm than a 450. The 700 builds rpms slower than a 450, because the piston is very large, it has more reciprocating weight in the motor and a longer stroke.

Not at all if you compare to a Yamaha Grizzly 700! :)

I don't think mines top heavy, but maybe like others said, compared to a 450 it may feel that way.

I've had mine on some pretty steep hills and off-camber situations and it felt very stable.
