i am not kidding someone has it on video and if i can find it i will be glad to post it. i know it sounds totally unbelieveable but it happened. they were racing in slimy mud and the guy on the shee would spin bad for the first 60-70 ft then start catching but it was too late. when mike rode the shee the 2nd time he feathered it through the first few gears and beat his R pretty bad. the kid on the shee was an idiot and would hang it wide open from the start.
and vinny your comment about greenbeast "saving peoples lives for a living blah blah blah no sympathy there its his job" was way out of line. Someone that can run into a burning building to save someone that they have never seen before and will probably never see again for $30 or so an hour has got ***** of steel. GreenBeast is just as much a hero as our loved ones and friends fighting in Iraq. I am greatful for people like him, and i hope they dont waste their time trying to save an insignificant little FÜCK like you some day.

Nothing can beat a YFZ!.............(just kidding) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Thanks for the report Greenbeast. Its always interesting to see where a new quad stands against the competition. For those who don't believe him, chill out you'll get your chance to race one soon enough and draw your own conclusions.
.........As awesome as the 700R is and other new machines may be, I think I'm going to have to replace my stolen 05 with another 05. I mean have you seen the prices on these things? I now know of 2 places around me selling them for 5K......SWEET! I just hope I can get it to run as good as my last one.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

OMG! why is it that EVERY YFZ owner thinks their quad is the fastest? No matter what? i dont get it! The guy won, have you ever even seen a 700R up close yet? How bout riddin one? NO you havent! So how do you know if its faster then a YFZ. I beleive the 700R will be faster then a YFZ with a pipe and intake, and definatly stock. if you look at it, the YFZ is one of the best bikes you can get to race on a MX track, where their are certin limits.. (449cc) the new Raptor takes the same (or close to atleast) Handling capabilities of the YFZ, and stuffs an open class, no rules 686cc monster into the frame. what do you get? One FAST *** bike! Why would the guy have anyreason to lie? who is he trying to impress? Congrats on the sick raptor, and on your wins. Keep us updated on the bike!

well i know they are selling the 700r cheaper here than the yfz so... but anyways you'll get beat if the rider on the yfz's knew how to ride good luck though...

again i must say that your comments are so dumb. no stock quad in my opinion will take a piped yfz. have u ridden one? no? ok i thought not. and what makes u think his will be a FAST *** bike? the raptor 660 certainly wasnt,but yeah this should be better, but i doubt by much. the 686 engine is from a xt660 which i believe is only rated at 50hp, which is like 2 hp more then a yz450. and u know the quad at most has 45 at the wheels. if it takes the yfz, it isnt by much. go to atvscene.ciom and they even said yamaha said it wins by a LITTLE bit.
