What did YOU want to see come out of the Yamaha Stables for 2007??
Here's what I really would've liked to see....
1. A new Blaster 4 stoke. Even if it was an exact copy of the Z250, it would've been nice to have an entry level sport quad.
2. A 2-up quad. Maybe even a less expensive one than Arctic Cat, Can Am, or Polaris by offering a 2 wheel drive version.
3. A 5-speed auto clutch version of the Wolverine 450. I like that they give consumers a choice of transmissions with the new Big Bear, why not do that with the Wolverine and quiet down some of the naysayers and make it a little sportier.
Don't care about fuel injected quads with power steering. Nowhere near being able to afford one.

Hey i think next year will be the most changes for yamaha, now that the 700 is like kind of not new they are gonna be pumping more and more power out of it, no more banshee so hell they have to do something their we all know yamaha, and i swear to god they better do something with that raptor 350, I think Yamaha has to claim the best all around sport quad title, currently i think i can speak for everyone when i say the z400 is the best all around, how about yamaha makes the raptor 350's steering radius a lot higher and only make it a tad bit bigger, at least 30 more cc's, make it a 4 or 5 valve, bigger carb, liquid cooled or at least please god oil cooled. I dont know i guess yamaha has a lot of thinking to do.
Sorry if i got of topic its a habit. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I always hear all this talk about manufacturers not making amazing quads and pumping out some real HP #'s, b/c someone would kill themselves, or they don't want to have lawsuites and all this other crap. Yamaha makes the R1 thats over 150 HP and 998cc, 4cyl. apex sleds, same engine, waverunners, 160HP, is it too much to ask for a 500 making 80HP in a quad, they make all these other machines people die on but they can't make a real quad, whats the deal, i say they put that 500 phazer engine in a quad, and lets say it still puts out 80HP in a quad, and yamaha sells a pile of em, theres still gonna be a ton more people dying on R1's in a year that on one of these quads, so why don't they make one?

As successful as the 700R raptor has been in sales and dependability, I am amazed that Yammy didn't slap an EFI 700 or larger in the Rhino. Pisses me off. I would buy a 2007 Rhino if it had the EFI. I'll look for another solution now.
