thanks for all the input guys, really helped out, Im prob going to go ahead and get the raptor 700

 

ive ridden meny bikes and i love the raptor 700 the best. and im not the type of person where if i didnt like the bike i have i whould go get a new one in a sec. one year before i bought a raptor 700 i bought a raptor 660 didnt think it was the best and upgraded.

 

After you get the raptor, Ill snap some pics of the back of my outlaw. You can practice staring at them because thats all you'll see. Enjoy the scenery.

 

your funny gablett. i dont know how you chould say something like that. the 525 outlaw and the raptor 700 are so close in the speed department it is going to be down to who can ride better. and outlaw 525 irs vs raptor 700 both all the way tricked the raptor will smash on the outlaw.

 

Quad Magazine did a showdown between the 700R and YFZ450. The Raptor won on Trails and Dunes. It narrowly lost on the MX portion of the test. Ironically, the Raptor turned in a faster lap time, but what less consistent then the 450.

 

Bigned: if that floats your boat to think that, be my guest.

Waterjetdude: Yea cuz magazines are never biased. I read a magazine that said the outlaw was the fastest quad ever made and had graphs to prove it and I can get them for you if you want. I dont believe anything a magazine says.

 

I never believe them when they compare manufacturer's against each other. They sugar-coat everything for all the advertisers. Since this one was Yamaha vs Yamaha I think it was legit. I find that Quad Magazine does the best job out of all of them at shooting straight.

 

look at dunefest and see how meny outlaw 525 irs where racing and winning? wait ill tell you, 0. there might have been a stright axle outlaw there racing but not winning. tghe last 2 winners where a ds650 this last year i think and the year before that it was a raptor 700. lets see what happens when you put 65+ hp in a 525 with irs without extending out the back. and 65 wont even put you will the big dogs out there. and yes you cant buy or rework a carb but you can get a throttle body and make just as much if not more than a carb. btw you can get a very good throttle body for like 200 that will make 4 more hp on a 3 mod quad, 5+ on a 5 mod quad and so on.

 

Do yourself a favor and go check out what the Bomb Squad was riding. Hmm an outlaw.

 

im talking about drag racing machines not stunt machines. and i think that was $ related bombsquad going to outlaws. go look what people are dumping "there" money into. gablett are a ignorant person who talks out of his ***.
