chipdog Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 today i test drove a raptor 700, and i got to say i was impressed. if i were ever to buy a four stroke it will probly be this one. all i got to say smooth power , almost felt like a yfz450 but smoother.if you get a chance test one or maybe even buy one do it. SMOOTH AS FU*K. Quote
Big Blue Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 I liked my old raptor expecially the torque, I wouldnt have minded having a new raptor but wouldnt want to have the first year, no telling what problems it will have. Quote

hittintrees srh Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 well............ they look illin. thats about all I know. Quote
trail rider Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 no shit, but i heard from some resources yamaha has had the 700 in the works for 2 whole years already. just waiting to drop it after the yfz450 was out a couple of years, i guess. 404278[/snapback] Im just waiting to see what they have in mind after they stop selling the banshee. Are they stopin the blaster too? haven't heard anything about that yet Quote
BenBB Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 if i were ever to buy a four stroke it will probly be this one404185[/snapback] That's what I'm thinkin' too, just from lookin' at the frame & swingarm and EFI and front suspension looks like it would be damn good in the desert... Quote
super88_banshee Posted August 13, 2005 Report Posted August 13, 2005 Im just waiting to see what they have in mind after they stop selling the banshee. Are they stopin the blaster too? haven't heard anything about that yet 404324[/snapback] I have heard talk of them putting a 250 four-stroke motor in it. I know they have those yfz-250f's running perty good! Maybe the blaster will finally rip?? Quote
MudSlinger09 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 they just need to get rid of that new ugly ass 450 wolverine thing ... looks pretty damn ugly , but the wolverine 350 is still ok in my book... Quote
tats4life Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 just got done driving our new one....i don't like it...i think it's a piece of shit and the tranny is still really notchy compared to a banshee's....already recalls out for the efi controllers....but yes the power delivery is very smooth but i would still take a 450 Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 notchy compared to a banshee?? is that even possible? Quote
MonkeyBoy Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Change the tranny oil. The trans on the one I rode was anything but notchy. Also make sure the service goons adjusted the clutch lever to disengage the clutch. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 notchy compared to a banshee?? is that even possible? 406258[/snapback] Thats was I was thinking. I'd be like CLUNK....CLUNK......CLUNK.....CLUNK....running through the gears. Quote
Big Blue Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 The local shop has one, i didnt get to ride it though but setting on it my ipression is it is 100 times better that the 660. Quote
MILO Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 if i was to get rid of the shee for another sport quad, the 700 craptor would be it's replacement, without a doubt but, my shee is paid for, and i've invested some in it, enough to not want to get rid of it yet. hmmm, then again if i traded the shee that would knock the cost of the craptor down considerably. oh shit, i forgot, the boss(wife) already laid down the law- no more toys, except for the 3 yr old and the newborn.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 I looked at one the other day, looks pretty sweet but the reviews from the guys at the shop are hands down that the 450 is the better machine. I wish they'd have let me ride it. Quote
