I really really want to get a Raptor 250 for my wife. She has an old Honda now. But her Honda has a reverse and she doesn't want a bike without a reverse. Does anyone know if there are plans to put reverse on the Raptor 250? I'd buy one in a split second if there was a reverse. I know the argument is that it's such a small bike you don't need a reverse. But my wife is small too and she would probably get hurt trying to pull the thing backwards.

 

i havent heard anything, but the raptor 350 might be a better choice, i think there actually a little more comfortable then the 250s and there not much faster, and they have reverse/w 6speed clutch.

+1 Yamaha did not put reverse on the 250 to try and keep cost down plus the 250 is considerd a partial race macine so the reverse setup adds weight. Think of it as a small 450 class quad!

 

Well, ok then, besides the Raptor 350 (which I think is too big for her) which other models should I consider? She is easily intimidated by anything bigger than a 200.
