They also have some nice pictures of GYT-R parts for the Raptor and some dyno charts.

 

That is the best i have seen yet, I am glad they had all the clear pictures and showed HP and Torque Charts. Thats a Sweet review. Those Pics Rock.

 

The pictures where great I just wish I could get my hands on some of those GYT-R parts for the Raptor. I can't get any dealer around here to even tell me when you'll be able to place an order.

 

I cant beleive they called the DS 650 an overloaded garbage truck,lol That was a pretty killer reveiw with some killer photos.I cant wait till my bumper comes in.It looks bad azzz.Im glad I desided to send back the prm front bumper for the desert grab bar instead.Man I want to go RIDEEEEEEEEEEEEIINNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

 

Hi X250RDude,

That was an excellent review. I think that I'm going to purchase the GYT-R bumper and return the Graydon bumper. I didn't know that the pumper was polished. If I knew that, then I would have waited for the GYT-R bumper. I would like to go riding this weekend. Let me know when you get a chance

Hey DreamDuner, find a dealer that will get you the GYT-R accessories, you will definately like them!! I can't believe that your dealer in Scottsdale hasn't gotten any of them yet. I live in Kansas and have gotten several so far.....which I will list below. Take care and keep ridin!!

Good review! Would have been nice to have numbers beside the HP and torque charts though. By the torque chart...it looks like the engine is equipped with a "performance oriented" cam instead of one with the typical low RPM peak that signs off early.
