Honestly does anyone know why Yamaha picked the 660 engine? Where did they come up with the cool looks? I dunno no one may actually know but I was just curious where it all came from. R+D obviously but..........Hey I heard someone left a Grizzly, Banshee, and Warrior in their garage over winter and when they opened it up for the spring of '00......What the heck is that? There she be a Blue Raptor and all the other bikes were huddling in the corner. =-) j/k Just wanted to add some humor to these threads. Ride hard!
