Title: Yamaha Raptor 250
Post by: darkside94 on August 18, 2008, 03:24:08 PM
Hey has anyone else got to ride one of those new 250's? I got to ride one today and it is one fun ass little maching. Definitely not a POS 250ex. It had a really peppy enging and was so unbelievably light. i got to jump it too and before i have never really been able to control an atv in the air but i could with that one. pulled through the gears really nicely for me definitely wasnt that fast though but i had a blast on all 15 minutes i got to ride it.

ive never rode a raptor 350 but i have rode an old warrior and it definately was not faster than a warrior
but it did seem to me that it accelerated better because it felt like it had much shorter gears
Title: Re: Yamaha Raptor 250
Post by: exentix on August 18, 2008, 06:38:02 PM
the exhaust was upgraded to the the raptor but other than that i think they're identical...

but how can you have shorter gears than a 350 raptor, the dam 6 speed has me shifting every ten seconds....
Title: Re: Yamaha Raptor 250
Post by: darkside94 on August 18, 2008, 06:39:28 PM
haha well they have short gears
i forgot the warriors and rappys have 6 gears
but the 250 did accelerate pretty good for what it is
and the shifting was flawless and smooth

Rappy 250 is pretty bad ass for its size.  I got to rip around on one a few months ago.  Definately nimble, and more powerfull than you expect outta a toofity fo sho.

My buddies niece has one and I rode it yesterday and I was very impressed. It has a much better feel than any 250 to 350 four stroke that I have ridden. Power was not down by any means and you can put any where you want it. Yamaha has a winner on its hands there. I heard Honda is coming up with something similar soon and I know KTM has a motor for Polarass to use :lol:

I read somewhere, Quad Magazine maybe? that Suzuki & Kawi  should be entering the race since Yamaha Raptor 250 sales are up

Post by: darkside94 on October 01, 2008, 03:50:23 PM
