Hi All... Since I joined this group a few days ago everyone has been wanting to know where I got my used Raptor. Well I just found another one on ebay for sale if anyone is interested and just cannot wait. >http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=450738615<

BE WARNED: It appears the guy is out to make a killing. Emailed asking what they wanted and he said $8500. Imagine thats the reserve!

 

This guy must run his Raptor with the garage door closed.This is what he writes as the description on e bay. There is a 2 year wait at the dealership for these badboys. Yamaha only released 2 per dealer in the USA. I got it, you want it, call me and lets make a deal. (404)310-7929. 20% deposit is due when the auction ends and the bike is to be paid in full within 5 days after auction or you will loose your deposit. LETS GET IT ON!

 

Kinda thought he might be smoking a little tailpipe myself but decided there might be someone in here willing to bend over and take it up the tailpipe to get thier raptor sooner =()O

 

YEA, Got mine from a dealer, My A$$ still hurts.
$8400 OTD

Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry to hear that...The dealers in Reno NV are doing the same thing...Just a few months ago there was a waiting list for an $8500 DS650 and now they have a line up of them 10 wide they can't get rid of. When I was in there to drop off my Raptor for service I asked how much and how long. They CLAIMED 3 year wait and $8450 +Tax++++++ and promptly showed me a list notebook full of names and phone numbers. Think these dealers are simply writing names on a piece of paper to make us all think there are hundreds waiting for machines = ) Sorry, not for me. Picked mine up used from a guy for Under 6K and for that kind of money its a decent machine even though its in the shop = )

 

TRere is NO way there is a 3 year waiting list for the Raptor. Heck, My local dealer is charging 7200 OTD, no takers, it been here a week! I laugh, greeedy dealers. Oh yea the dealer 40 miles away is charging 7500 +setup. Loks like Il wait until the excitement dies down and get one for 6500..

8400? they retail for 6499! that is what people up here paid for them.

 

hey grandpa, why is it in the shop?

 

Bash,

It is in the shop going on 3 days now. The problem is when I get on an incline (going uphill) it bogs likes its getting no gas. Then when it gets real steep it simply quits. I personally think its a float problem but they say everything is normal. I told them to work on it till they find the problem as around here (Sierra Nevadas) you don't want a machine to be quitting on you half way up a steep canyon = )
