Default White or blue Raptor 700??

Just wondering what color you got and how it is holding up. I got rid of my Predator and plan on buying the Raptor 700 this weekend but don't know what color to get. I like the white but hear that dirt fills the scratches and make the white look like crap. So is this true? Those with white one that ride in the woods and mud, how is the white holding up? Or just get the blue. As of right now I can get the 700 $6500 otd plus 20% off all GYTR parts. So by getting 20% off I was getting full under armor, full exhaust and full filter with adaptor and quiet end cap for $920. Should I go that route or go in another direction?

If your afraid of black scuffs on the white plastic, just get a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and it'll wipe all your worries away.

There is one white and one blue Yammie in my garage. The blue shows stress marks VERY easily. Mine has stress marks just from being clumsy and bumping into it while it sets in the garage. The white does require a little more effort to keep it looking good, but once it is clean it looks sharp. The blue one shows boot scuffs and scratches in the plastic more readily once clean, while the white shows more scratches when dirty. Basically, blue looks better when dirty, white looks better when clean(IMHO) BTW, Yellow always looks good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have blue and it looks great. Ive even removed all the factory warning tags. Theres a scratch on the front fender from having the whip tucked under the bars when i went under a bridge. I have no complaints and would buy blue if i had to do it over again.

White is a nice color, i think it blends in too much with the Suzukis.

Yellow will be available in February....guaranteed to look like a bumble bee!

White for sure, unless you like all those scratches and white stress marks, then I would say, go with the blue. Sounds like you have a good plan, The GYTR pipe is nice, alittle high priced, but the discount makes it (not so bad)

Any of the controllers will get the job done, Power commander, Dobeck, Trinity. The Dobeck is cheeper by about a $100 and fairly simple to tune? I am running Trinity's controller and am having good luck with it.

Just a thought,HMF has a full exhaust for the 700 Raptor ($459.00)and a TFI module for $199.00.They claim a 10 HP increase with the exhaust.
