Oh ok, that would still be sweet. There was another person who said it also, he says he has a buddy who has a buddy who works for Yamaha who said they were going to completely replace the Raptor with this one, or was that you also? Either way it's probably not likely, if you ask me Yamaha has too much pride for the Raptor to replace it. Not that it's a bad machine, but dang they praise it alot!

They won't replace the 660, it's Yamaha's pride and joy of quads. Just think though charleyhorse, the 426 is already stronger of a motor than the CRF450. If they really are bumping the 426 up to a 450, it is going to have even stronger power. I do feel for you though, if I got beat by a smaller bore quad, I'd be pissed too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Again Raptor owners, I'm not doggin on the Raptor.

i don't think it would be good to have the yz450f motor replace the 660 either. the only good thing that i can think of is the quad weighing less and maybe a little more power. but its still not legal to race in the 250 class so why would you even want to change it? also the 660 has waaaaay more potential than the 450. also what about one of the raptors neatest features? the reverse? what would happen to it? if they kept i would think they'd have to remove a forward gear from the 450 engine. isn't that what happened in the case of the bike engine they took the 660 from? i say since neither of them would be legal to race the 250 class just keep the big bore. the 660 is the charm of the raptor.
