I really like the looks of it! More so than the Raptor 250 even.... Same chassis as the Raptor 250 though.

I like it! I bet that is a fun little machine that will make a great starter or step up quad for quite a few riders.

Thank God, they actually made a different model, when i saw "Raptor 125" I immediately thought they just put Raptor plastic on the old Breeze, like they did with the "Grizzly" 125. Looks like a nice little step up quad, what is the price on it? didnt see that in video. Too bad they are stuck on the Raptor and Grizzly names, a few different model names wouldnt hurt, even if they reused some of the old model names, just throwing Raptor or Grizzly on revamped old models shows a lack of imagination. It would be like Ford or Chevy putting one name on every car they make, with just a number after to tell them apart.

Huh, Yamaha actually recycles a lot of names across their various model lines. I wouldn't be surprised to hear they have a Raptor snowmobile eventually.I agree though, it would be nice to have some new model names. I can't wait for the local shop to get one of these little guys in and on the floor though.

They could have called it the 2011 Blaster..... It appears to be intended for the step-up, next-size, or entry level machine.... Might buy my wife one.... but yeah,.... everything being called a Raptor nowadays is pretty ho-hum...

blaster? the 250 was the blasters replacement. the 250 in my opinion should be a little bigger like a 300ex

Well the 250 is definitely faster than the 300EX if that counts

yeah idk about that, and if it is its because of the weight difference. a 300 has more hp and more potential. that two valve raptor will never breath like the honda and the honda fits a wider variety of riders
