Been waiting too long for BRP to step up and come out with somthing new.
I bought a 06 Raptor the other night and sold the DS

 

How do you like it compared to the Ds?

 

You'll modify the crap out of it the same way you did the DS......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]........lol

 

Pipe, Air Filter and skids. I do a lot of riding over 10,000 ft so the injection really appeals to me.

going to LS Utah tomorrow and then to Delle on sunday. Then I'll know how it is.

 

Congrats on the new ride air

 

Those new rappys are pretty awesome, they have changed almost everything i didnt like about the old ones and made it a very nice machine...congrats on the new rappy.

 

I was looking at the new Raptor too. sounds like it should perform really well. so tell us, how's it compared to the DS ? I'm gonna wait til later to buy a new one with the Z450 coming out, the upgraded YFZ 450, and the updated TRX450. But would appreciate your feedback on the Raptor.

 

I feel ya' .
They are really nice looking. Let us know how it performs and holds up.

 

Just got back from LS Utah. The Raptor performed very well considering I did not want to push it too hard. It handles great, Not tippy. I did not feel cramped on it. The ergos are almost perfect.
The engine comes on strong in the Mid range, I think a pipe & open airbox would help with the bottom end.
My 730 made more Power but this is a bit easier to ride
The worst thing about the machine is the handgrips. Yamaha must have spent all of a dime on them.
Pipe, Skids , Nerfs and a clamp on Air filter kit coming in the next few months.
Sorry guys but Yamaha hit a home run on this machine, Not a grand slam though.
I hope you do not mind me hanging around the Bomb forum. There are fewer 80 mph Blaster types in here.

 

Congrats AIR, I've yet to see a new rappy in person( than again I haven't been to the dunes in over 2 months[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]) I too got tired of waiting for BRP to come out with something new and more powerful so I hope my hybrid will be my dream quad. I'll catch ya down and the dunes this fall.
