i paid 7500 otd

 

wow , my kfx is seming nicer and nicer. maybe ill wait a year and get and "older model" 700 or a used one

 

but the raptor is still worth paying that much for it i must add

 

im going to the chicago cycle center this week. there always the cheapest so i wanna see what they can do.

 

I don't see how people could get the new 700R OTD for 6500.. Yamaha has put a $6999.00 sticker on these machines, add in sales tax and your still well over the $6500.00 mark even if you did get somewhat of a deal... I'm in Washington and I got mine for $8100 OTD with some riding gear.. (HJC Helment, Oakley Goggles, 2 sets of Thor Gloves).

 

Avg. Southern Calif. Good guy price OTD. $6900 Thru $7200 Depending on where you live and how much time and fuel you want to burn up. I bought mine for $7200. The Largest dealership in SO. CAL. is LA. Honda and they move the most inventory ,also have the best prices @ around $7000. I think You would be hard pressed to find one in Chicago for $6500
I have owned a ltz400 which is the same as the 400 Kawi and liked the handeling and over all feel alot. In compairision the 700 feels a little heavy in a turn and the front end isnt nearly as light as your 400 . In short the 700 has a little more weight and alot more power and handeles great once you get a feel. Hope yur able to get one! Let us know what happens this weekend Chicago!

Buy the way I'm from Chicago area

 

Well i went to chicago cycle center and i can get either the yfz or the raptor for 7200-7300. out the door. That seems a little reasonable, looks like i might be riding blue in less then a week! buy the way im from Streamwood, where are u from in the chicago area?

 

Hands down! get the 700R. its worth it.
i paid $7300.00 otd last nov.
been lovin-it ever since!!
just got GYT-R skid plates going to put them on this weekend.

Hey FasterdeRapMakeMeHap
how's that 2nd raptor doing??

 

what do u like about the raptor700 that the yfz doesnt have? fuel injection,? power?etc. just curiouse becasue i want to get the right one.

 

in my younger days i road a yz250, frends rode kx500's

i'm an older rider(and heaver!) now, i just want to have fun.
this thing is a Cadillac!!! i keep up with those guys and dont get beat up like i used to!
plus i can putt with the kids all day long with on wories of loading it up!

this is the perfect bike for my situation, i did'nt want an all out race machine(yfz,banshee)which i considered for a long wile.i had my heart set on a banshee for a long time but this was the better all around choice. no regrets

fuel injection is a big +, no carb to mess with, reverse and eletric start are great!! no more kick starts for me!!

plenty of power to kill you 5 times over!!

and the after market has just begun!

it all depends on how you ride, its a question each one of us has to answer our selfs.

i made the right choice for me.

i'm sure you'll make the right choice for you.
