I have been reading all of the different delivery dates for the raptor so i tried to get some info myself. I went on yamahas website and found all the dealers in IN,OH,IL,WV,KY,MI that had e-mail addresses 67 in all. Hey i was bored. I asked them all when they are expecting their first one? What color? Price? and If there was a delay and why? I will post the info i get back as soon as i receive it.

 

I got 4 back this is what they said.

This month...Blue...No delay that I know of...
We do have deposits, but you should put a deposit down of $250.00.The price starts at $6459.00.Also we are only getting 6 Raptors on the first allocation. So, please put a deposit down and you might be one of the first few people to get a Raptor!

When we receieved our allocation confirmation, it had us down for 10. At this time, we have money or equivalent on 8, with 3 more names after that who so far don't have money down. The allocation schedule shows 1 for August and 2 or 3 each month after that through December.

We will be getting the raptor in sept. I do not know why they are running late. Blue will probably be the first one we recieve. The price is 6499.00, and i have eight deposits.If you want to get on the list you should leave a deposit, and the odds you will get one are good.

We are supposed to get our first Raptor in this month, but rumor is that they won't arrive till September. I have one of each coming in but the white one is sold. The price is 6499.00. All it takes is a 500.00 down

I will replace these when i get some more replies

 

keep'em coming shollz.

I know we are all really, really eager to get ours! Funny how different dealers say different things huh? I'm still excited to see what the delay is about.

 

You guys are lucky, our dealer up here doesn't expect any Raptors until September. The wait shouldn't be much longer.............

 

I work at a Yamaha dealer and was talking too our Rep. he said we should have all 8 of our units by november. With the first sometime this month. of our 8, 6 are spoken for and im first on the list i cant wait.

 

Thanks for checking on this. I'm getting really anxious. Soon summer will be over. I wonder how it will be on snow?
