I really like the White/Black also, but I might just go with the blue... It looks so nice with the painted frame! Plus, I think that the darker color might look a little better than white a few months down the road.

 

I totally agree with you Bandit

 

I like the blue may self but two of the guys i ride with want the Black and White.

 

Hey,
I ordered my Raptor back in early July. I ordered the Black/ white. I am first in line for one. Well, not first but the first Black/White Raptor that comes through Houston is mine. My dealership is getting 3 Raptors per month for the next three months. He said they should send mine with the first order. Lets just hope he knows what he is talking about.

"Well another day gone just means one day closer to my Raptor"!!!!


1 kawaski mojave

1Toyota Tocoma 4x4

..and 1 Raptor on the way.

 

Black & White, it will be a while, I am number 7 on the list!

 

I have the first two coming to my dealership and they should both be blue...

 

powdercoated... you wish. Its probably that cheap paint that wears off from your legs and chips and flakes at the welds like on all the other Yamahas.

 

the blue is great looking! but i would have to go with the black/white cause i saw what happens to the blue after a few months of riding. where the plastics flex it turns white!!!!!!!!! my freinds 00 banshee has all white marks where the plastics mount & flex in the fenders. if you can wait get the black/white!!

 

you have to go with the blue. the white and black is nice, but the white will look crappy after a couple months of riding. I live in minnesota and we have a lot of red iron ore that we ride on and the white just gets stained. The blue holds up good though. I had a 99 blue banshee until i traded it in on order for my new raptor.

I know what you mean about the blue turning white from stress. My buddies 99 blue banshee has the white marks right by the seat on the rear fenders from wind flap and riding 2 up. But I don't think this will happen as eaisly on the raptor. The fenders look much more solid than the "wings" on a banshee!
