Has anyone recived their raptor in this ares ??
I ordered mine from North Expo in ossipee NH now they are telling me 2nd week of October for my black/white/silver raptor i really hate this waiting game what gives with yamaha i would think they would want as many of them as possible out there so others can want them from seeing them ??

99 warrior black /yellow soon to be traded for
01 raptor black /white / silver

 

I saw my first Raptor at Amherst Motorsports in Milford N.H. Thursday. It's waiting for some guy who supposedly paid in advance and they can't get hold of him. Imagine that! Yamaha blue and looking better than any picture I've seen yet.

Hello LastWarrior,

I received my machine 9/18/00. It is very nice with the exception of the tall gearing, but I will get used to it. I can't wait to go bring it to other places.

from which dealer

 

Im pretty sure ironbear bought it from libbys in new haven Ct

 

Libby's Yamaha in New Haven, CT

 

I was met up with someone in RI that got his raptor, probably the first in RI because he got it from the biggest dealer for yamaha in the state which is in North kingstown RI or around there its called razee's thats where i got my blaster from i think they have the best service around here also they have a great selection.

let me tell you i think the raptor is the greatest thing that has happened to the sport atv market since the 85 quadracer. its so perfect, it looks 20times better in real life too. i didnt think the blue one looked that great in the pics, and i have nothin against the blue either cause thats what color my blaster is, but it looks awesome the paint job is the most metallic lookin job in any quad ive seen. everything seems very reinforced especially the swingarm. the engine/exhaust is not loud at all, its quieter then my friends 250x. the gears seem big becuase the guy was ridin a wheelie in the same gear for a good distance. a lot better traction then my quad for sure, the guy was goin down a hill that was all washed out and he didnt realize it so i helped him face it back up the hill which was sandy and he got right up it, my tires wouldve just sank right in. ive never seen a ds650 before, but the raptor is not reall as big as it seems in the pics, maybe seat height thats it. any further questions please feel free to ask

 

north country 4x4 in lancaster NH had one a week ago that wasn't sold yet i didn't see it my buddy was picking a new big bear up just thought i would put this out there for all you raptor hunter's
