good news, bad news

Personally I don't get why everybody goes nuts over the ktm engine.. It's a built factory engine just like the 450's. It produces about the same amount of power as the 700r that is mildy built from the factory. Think about that.

Good point there also. I bet there aren't any exhausts out there for the polaris that give you a 13 hp gain. It doesn't take much at all to move the 700r from the level of "fast" to "crazy fast"

it just looks like a squirrel that got kicked in the face or something, it's just ugly.

hahahahahaha thats soo true.

Ordered it and put down a deposit on it, I should be picking it up friday. Just ordered a full set of PRM skids for it already. I can't wait!

The outlaw is not a proven machine, not to mention parts arent really as availible as yamaha parts. The only way i would buy one if if i lived within 25 miles of a dealer. Not saying its not a good machine...... but **** man you can walk in a honda dealer and get parts for yamaha's nowadays. Those polaris's nobody has anything and nobody stocks anything for them. Ktm motors are even harder to find stuff for. 700 has my vote. Its proven.

 

[dswwarrior350]

One more thing..... both polaris parts and KTM parts cost a shitload more than your main 4's parts.

Hey that's cool though, those little 250's are pretty sweet for what they are, especially compared to the z250's and 250ex's, and the blaster they replaced. I was actually sitting on one at the dealer last night and I think yamaha did a hell of a good job on them. I bet they're a blast to ride.

I think yamaha should come out with a 400, liquid cooled, full size bike, with kickstart or electric and get rid of that ******* gay look they put on all there bikes. They all looks the same except for the warrior. If they made that bike and brought back somethign that looked somewhat like the warrior i would be all over that thing. The rappy, yfz look its annoying now, they all looks the same. IMO the warrior looks way better and the 450r is the best looking bike out right now out of all the companies.

I think the kfx450r is the best looking when it has the fenders taken off..I love the looks of those things when there decked for racing..And I agree that yamaha should have done a 400cc quad..But o well..I got what I have wanted since I was 10

 

[yamarider]

Finally picked up the rappy tonight. I didn't get to ride it much because it was dark and all the trails are just mucky and nasty right now. But I took it around the yard a little and then ran it down the road a couple times. I'm not sure what to say yet except holy crap. I haven't got it past quarter throttle yet and even barely getting on it like that I think it's faster than the warrior when i'm beating on it. Sweeeet.

 

[dons18w]

Thats great i will have one some day but will be keeping the warrior for the hell of it lol

This is all personal opinion. I think yamaha has got some of the best looking bikes. I do like the Z's though.

 

[97warriorrider]

yeah they do..the Z's take some time to get used to.IMO..I love the look of the 700's just not the rappy 350's. I think the yfz is just sexy

WHAT!!!!!! TAKE IT BACK!!!

 

[yamarider]

Here are a few of the much awaited raptor pics. I spent about an hour cleaning the thing after riding today. Everything was just a mud pit but I couldn't keep myself from riding. I just can't wait until I get a couple tanks of gas through it so I can really start to cut it loose and see what it can do.

 

[yamarider]

Aargh! This is just killing me. Why don't they just break these engines in at the factory, run them on a dyno or something? It'd save me a lot of frustration.

Even riding around at quarter throttle still gives me enough juice to keep up with my buddies when they're riding pretty hard hehe.

 

[ncwarriorrider]

Alot of people have different philosophies for break in, some people think if you run it hard from the beginning it will tolerate hard running better. Thats idea has made its rounds on the car forums not sure if its gotten to the atv guys yet.
