Q: Ratchet shifter & Yamaha Raptor
#11
Right now the Raptor is an impulse buy for anybody who is laying down cash before using common sense. I am not hammering the Raptor, I cannot because I haven't seen/ridden one. I am hammering all the people who believe everything the good folks at the Yamaha publicity department want them to believe.

In order to buy a "tested" machine somebody had to buy it first so you could find out what they learned. If EVERYBODY waited for it to be tested, nobody would buy it-get it? I think it is just good that Yamaha is putting some money into a "new" sport machine. It just raises the bar for the othe manufactures. Competition is great for all of us. It allows us to get better machines from the factory. Hopefully Kawi, Suzuki, and the rest will take the lead of Honda (400EX), Yamaha (Raptor), Cannodale (whatever it is), and all the others. Let the games begin!!! Instead of bashing everything, just be happy we still have high performance machines being built. later.

Being the first to buy one was not my point, buying one sight unseen, with no feedback whatsoever might be a little foolish. If you have read some of the other forums you would have seen some of my posts starting with "I hope I am wrong". I am not bashing the machine. Go ahead and buy it, I am not impulsive and am willing to wait for you to find out any shortcomings the machine may have. Incidentally, the manufacturers usually put together some pre-production machines for ride reviews by the magazines. If you remember most of the magazines reported on the twitchy handling of the DS long before anybody in the general public ever swung a leg over one.

You guys haven't read the new 4-Wheel ATV Action mag yet have you? They say in there that the Raptor has a awesome and easier chain adjustment along with a much much better airbox setup. So stop complaining no one has even ridden one yet and I don't know about you guys but I am pretty excited that Yamaha has finally listened to their customers.
