RAPTOR 700 will it be the new king?

Yamaha is going to have a Raptor 700cc with aluminum frame and yfz suspension. Top speed of around 85+ mph and lighter then the current Raptor. Will there be any competition for this? Sounds like suz, pol and kawi have thier work cut out for them.

85+??? doubtful...a gentlemens agreement prevents them from going over that speed....just because it will get the atv world higher up on the hate list

I agree. I cannot see the top speed that high. Not released factory anyway.

King?, I think not, but it will be a huge improvement over the current model. Lower, wider, 686, same crappy shocks up front, EFI, I think it'll be a great sand machine, atleast I'm hoping so [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
