I just got my 4 wheel atv action, and they had the new yamaha in there. It is called the Raptor, a 660cc 5 valve liquid cooled 4-stroke with two 33mm carbs but has a lighter thumb throttle than the banshee. It is a manual 5 speed but get this it has reverse and weighs 399 lbs. They asked him how fast it was compared to the ds650 and they said comparing the raptor in a drag to the ds is like comparing the ds to a 400ex. So this thing is going to fly it has around ten inches of wheel travel. I just got back from the ducks unlimited outdoor festival and i talked to the parts rep about it. He told me his friend at itp rode it and said it was wild. This guy is not biased to yamaha either he told me he owns 7 trx 250r's. The retail is 6200 that is a good price, the release is expected to be in august or september.So all as i can say is goodbuy LT250R and hello Raptor I am going to the dealer tommorrow and reserving one. Anybosy want to buy a quadracer?
