Had a good ride on the new raptor 700 today @ the m/x track
Very sweet bike, it was totally stock other than some bar raises.
It felt big, great gearbox and motor, awesome brakes and the seat is that soft you forget you are sitting down unlike the YFZ that reminds you any time you get close to it.
I bet this becomes a very popular bike over there and a fully modded one would be wicked.
It was unfair that I just got of my full house YFZ470 to ride it, but had a lot of fun with it and would love one if I did more trails or dune riding.

Sounds great..

how was the power compared to the 660? did it handle any better than the 660?

I know i much prefer my 250r handling over the 660 any day, was just wondering if they improved or not.

Power and handling are a lot better.

whats it like compared to your yfz

Posted by: Aussiequadrider

It's nowhere near either of my 470's, but lets be fair they have cost nearly 3 times the cost of a Raptor.
Now a fully modded 700 would be a wicked bike.

What you think would win a race? the 450's or the 700?

being fuel injected. how was that? any big differences?

The 450 will be quicker on the track, and didn't notice any thing major having FI.
