What would be the EASIEST way for yamaha to make a ton more money? simple. Make the new 450 or whatever it is faster than the current raptor. All the raptor owners would sell theirs and buy one ASAP. Then, for the next year they can up the Raptors performance and get you again lol. If thats not their plan I dunno how they are planning on detuning it enough to be slower than the raptor and not easily made fast again.

 

450 can't be faster than a 660 figurativly speaking. I think Yamahas new quad will be oriented towards MX style racing to compete with the z400, 400ex, and predator.

 

All they will let me Say is that it is a 450 and it is a MX Racer. I have seen pics of it and it looks mean.

 

4 stroke right?

 

its a 3 stroke, just kidding.

 

Yes it is a 4 Stroke.

 

fmf, where did u see the pics?

 

If it will beat the predator it will has to be as fast or faster than the Raptor

 

highest power-to-weight ratio of any four-stroke ATV ever built.
TOLD YOU SO. Now wait, next model year I bet the bump the raptor up.
