Default DIRT WHEELS 650+ Competition Results

Participates:

660R Raptor
700KFX V Force
DS650

While I was browsing some magazines at the store today I found the new Dirt Wheels Magazine...they did a review on the YFZ and a 650+ competition for 2003. In just a brief flip through the Raptor won the looks, fit and style, overall(available) power, and the overall competition. Looks like the 660R Raptor wins another!

Just thought I would pass that little bit along. I'm not sure who won handling and what not, I was just flipping through the book and read a few things here and there. But this should please my fellow Raptor owners. It sure put a smile on my face.

I especially like the picture on page 99 where the Raptor is powering through the corner, while the V and DS are taking each other out.....Go, Rappy, Go!!...LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

well it certainly made me feel better. with all the hype the 450r and the yfz450 have been getting, i was thinking everyone was forgetting about the super powerful raptor. but then i realized...nothing compares to the 660 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

They spoke highly of the DS, that was the first I'd heard of a DS being faster on the topend than a Raptor. And they confirmed what I've seen about the Vforce, an overweight pig for old people to cruise around on.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
