but in the real world, one with humps bumps and turns, the YFZ will still nail that tall / narrow **** Raptor. I have no problems drilling 686's / 727's/770's on the track and out playin in the sand.

I'd sooner spend all day in the dunes on a YFZ than a Raptor any day, I have two Raptors, a YFZ and an LTZ; there ain't know comparision.

Still full marks for Yamaha giving the Rappy a major update; it needed it.

 

Where is this dealer at that has a production demo of the new Raptor 700? Do you have a phone number?

 

The dealer is in Bakersfield California and the phone # is (661) 834-1011, The new 700r cant even be compaired to the old 660. It handles alot better and has alot more power so everything we thought we knew about the 660 doesnt apply here! Just because it has the same name "Raptor" doesnt mean it is the same cause this thing is completely different!

 

I plan on keeping my raptor for a while, I'm waiting for KTM to come out with a 525 or 640... ahhhhh I can hardly wait.
