Im not impreesed at all, they got a raptor 80cc, they got orange shocks on the white and black raptor so it looks like an halloween atv, other then the 660 grizz everything else is the same, but with ugly secondary colors

It seems they added brake lights to evey model. Not a bad feature if you trail ride alot..

Quads don't change much year to year... I'm suprised by the break light..

where were you expecting?

BansheeBrad,
I know it's off the subject but how did you change your icon to a quad?

If they only had that mini Raptor as a 250 with auto clutch...yeah I know 250EX version. My kids would love it. They've pretty much out grown the little LT80 we've got. Gotta say tho, the mini raptor is a great idea and the Grizz...yeow gotta see a head to head with the Kawi 650.

I agree MR45auto, I cant wait to see a head to head test between the Kawa650 and the Grizz660. I was thinking of getting a Kawa650 but now I will have to wait and see the comparison.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I've already put my deposit on the Yamaha 660 Grizz. I think it will stop the Kawi650 except for maybe work related use due to the Kawi's solid rear axle. I can't wait to get on my new silver Grizz! I was the first in line at the dealer around here. It has everything I'd add to a 4x4 except a manual tranny. I'd rather have a manual to stop the worry over belt slippage in wet conditions and slight loss of power. Push button front diff lock - cool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i think the greatest thing they can do for the 80cc class, is add some untility with 4x4. 4x4 would make the kids go nuts! i mean i remember when i had the LT80, but if that had 4x4 on some of those nights in the snow or summers in the mud, i would love the thing. push button 4x4 would be even better.
