06 raptor 700r

[The Jerk]

ive read every article and am going to look at one today. any thought on this new bike?

[yettiatcpg]

I've seen a few articals, it should be nice quad for the GNCC racers and the hard core desert guys. its going to a good dune machine to hop up too.

What are you going to pay for that out the door?

So far I am quite impressed. Bone stock it is making 41hp at the rear wheels! I just talked to Randy at LTE Racing Exhaust, and their system will be right at the 50hp mark @ 93dB. I also like that the front supension is the same as the 450, should be able to get some takeoff front shocks from a 450, cheaper. The programmer box appears to be almost manitory to get the most responce out of the fuel injection. I am really looking into getting one here pretty soon for the wife, electric start, reverse, torque, hard to beat.

I'm curious about them myself now.. I currently ride a 2005 Yamaha 450yfz and my husband keeps on saying he wants to get me on one of these...

Whoever gets to ride one, don't forget to report back on your findings/opinions.

i rode one about 1 month ago it was the first one we had in the shop,the throttle response is very good and it is an all around perfect quad. but if you are hardcore racer or major jumper stay with the 450. the 450 is still faster!!! the 700 has the potentul but needs piped and a programmer and i think it can run with a 450. the 06 450 is even stronger this year also.. and the 700,s are selling for 6800 to 7000 in mi. pretty pricey,went up 800.00 over last years raptor.

Did ya ever get to ride one? I'm interested to hear how it rode and also what kind of prices they are going for. I'm seeing MSRPs of $7k also, hope I can find a shop willing to budge a bit. :D

They look pretty bad ass. I picked up an 04 (660) off some guy on the board for like 2500. I as was a little jacked but I fixed it. I am thinkin about unloading it for a 700 or a YFZ450. Nothin like rippin some dunes on the way to work.

[HammerDown]

I just got one. All around two thumbs up.

Out of curiosity, what did ya pay out the door?
