The raptor 800r is powered by an liquid-cooled, 800cc four-stroke motor. The quad has electric start, a six-speed gearbox, a 34.8-inch seat height, and boasts a dry weight of 242 pounds.

Yamaha racing tweaked its competition machines, shaving 10 pounds off the weight of the 800r, and giving the 800r an all-new aluminum frame and swingarm that provide better handing and reduced weight.

no way...r u for serious!?!?

 

oooh thats cold

 

i see its a joke, but if anyone believed this they would have to be dumb, why would they release an 800 when their 700 is only a year old this winter? they will let it sell for 3-4 years untill everybody wants something bigger. 660 came out in 2001 i believe? and 2005 came the 700. makes sense to me

 

Yeah, should have put Wolvie 800. That would be awesome. I mean, assuming it wasn't a poop shoot, I mean sport ute. j/k

 

wat pisses me off is a majority of the people who always want a bigger quad never even have the room to unleash its potential, like think aobut it once u get to the 450s and the raptor 660 range any bigger and u wont notice a huge difference on most trails. The ones i ride most of the time my warrior and my freinds blaster keep up with a quadzilla and banshee easily, its all rider ability so there is no need to get like a 800 raptor in most cases, people do unleash the power but not near half the people who want bigger quads actually use the power. thopught i would just get that off my chest

you had me untill "dry wt of 242 lbs" then the bullsh!t flag was thrown on the play!

 

How bout them crotch rockets.....People seem to find somekind of use in all that power

 

they sure do...and its road rash if they're lucky.

 

as far as i know quads are only street legal in a few states that were those "crotch Rockets" unleash all their power
