Love my 700r, big3, full fiber clutch, ,cuervo tuned. +2 arms on elka's, hess bar. Just way to much fun and a lot of room to grow into it. Takes such a better beatin then my 08 450r. 450r shines highly in full out racing styles.

Bike is constantly tipping, gee thats fun

Buy a Raptor 700R for $9500 and have 1000x more fun!!!

Will never give the fun of a Banshee!!! Banshee or nothing!!!

Well built reliable simplistic. Comfy and fast!!! Only game in town. This sucker will keep up with quads twice the displacement. Easy choice

these are good tires had a set for 10*yrs on my lifted golf cart at my vacation place out at lost lake resort in the californis desert they were very dry rotted and had no tread buy they still held air better than this other cart i got 5yrs ago with carlisle strykers those rotted in 5yrs.22x11-10

Sweet video and super informational! I think for that price point I'll stick to my used yfz 450s xD

Change suspension settings maybe run bigger tires and better chain guard, add some power adders ull be on top in no time

All octane does is prevent the gas from predestination and high compression engine so if the manual says you can run 87 run 87 instead of 93 also the higher the octane in theory the less power it will make

Owned a first gen polaris sportsman 500 that was as close to mint as you could find. Issues. Owned a second generation sportsman 500, worse issues. Buddy has a second generation 500, nothing but issues. Purchased a 2016 Scrambler 850 and blew a ball joint in the first 400 miles. CVT breather clamp never sat correctly either. Buddy purchased a brand new 570 in 2021 and it was officially lemon’d after 4 trips to the dealership under warranty. Faulty stock regulator and capacitor. Starter system sheared itself as well. Yet another friend had a scrambler 400 2 stroke, issues. He deleted the 4WD and that helped a little but still had cvt issues. Have learned my lesson with polaris.

I need to get of those

This is a nice throwback vid. I remember watching this back when it came out. Must have been around 10-11 years ago.

Now they some country boys right ther

Nice!!!

Most important thing, Chicks dig the Raptor. Enough said.

So many flashbacks... I still have all those issues of 3wheeling Magazines you used in the vid!!...as a teen i drooled all over the 1984 200x and 250r, although i was only riding an ATC110. Wasnt til 22 years later that I finally got the 85 250R id always wanted... Was worth the wait!!

I've had a hand full of 250r's over the years. It takes a special kind of maniac to haul ass over whoops on a 3 wheeler. 😂👍🏻

I went with the CT 350 kit and swing arm etc.. Being in front is always better.

Question did the new throttle and clutch cables make the throttle and clutch any lighter? Is it worth it

Widen it giver the big 5 and oh baby

I never even considered owning a Raptor until I saw your video comparing it to the YFZ450R. I decided to buy a brand new quad and as an XC racer I planned to buy the YFZ. But after watching that video I felt like the Raptor was right for me. 3 years later I have no regrets. There's a lot to like about the Raptor from an XC perspective. Everything that makes it a great trail quad makes it a great XC quad IMO. I love it. Keep up the good work.

Is a stock Scrambler wider than the Renegade and does more width help on fast trails and drift ability ?

I wish they would make more two stroke quads

I race XC and Knobby quad TT on my 2022 raptor 700 and it slaps around all but the fastest guys on 450s (I am fast, I’m not that fast) and every time I pass a broken 450 in an XC setting I smile and remember why I chose the raptor over the 450. The only thing I change is my track width. I run 47.5 in the woods and 49.5 in TT. I have the big three mods and that’s it. It doesn’t need anything else and I have seen personally raptors with over 400 hours of hard abuse in race and play on factory top and bottom ends. Unless you’re going pro, the 450 is a headache and less fun in my opinion.

Could make this a series where you do a few mods at a time and turn it into a full XC machine.

If youre running skids, why in the world run alum vs composite? Also, that's a huge rookie mistake not adjusting suspension for the mud that was clearly there before you lined up lol Either way, solid vid. Shame there isn't enough of a market for a new machine from Yami (or anyone, for that matter). Although we MIGHT get something interesting out of Suzuki now that they've got their ship in order...high hp 4wd tho...no solid axle sport quad in the rumor mill

Shredder

Some suspension and a 24v kit and I think they would be a real weapon

I have a 2020 long travel built trail raptor I'll put against any 450 any day and shift half as much my brother has a 2022 450 and I beat him all the time plus the Raptor torque is so much better

Now lets see it again with some suspension mods and a few performance mods.

What’s a good OTD price ? Anyone in LA

Great video, thanks

My raptor 700R is the best quad ive ever had or ridden. Added skid plates, akrapovic exhaust, different handlebars, more aggressive race tires, grip tape for my knee/thighs, steering stabilizer and thats all it really needs. The torque, top end speed, handling is awesome and the sound/power it has make it really fun regardless if youre on a mx track, doing dirt jumps, trail riding, cross counry or enduro racing or in a sandy/dune type of riding. Its also way more comfortable on longer rides and easier to ride i find than the 450 platforms are. For anyone looking for an all around machine to do it all mx, enduro, dunes, dirt jumps, trail riding, hill climbs ect id highly recommend the raptor 700R platform for sure over the yfz450r.

Wish they'd bring the banshee and warrior back. Do the banshee in the original 350cc twin cylinder 2 stroke but also offer a 550/600cc twin cylinder 2 stroke motor. Do the warrior in the original 350cc 4 stroke and then also in a 550/600cc 4 stroke motor. And then keep the raptor in the 700cc motor and for the yfz450 keep it in that size but also offer it with a 650 to 700cc 4 stroke race engine. That way no matter your body size/weight, level of skill riding, where and type of riding, if you are going to actually race it on a mx track, cross country Enduro type racing, go to the big sand dunes ect there is a platform style, size, power and 2 stroke N 4 stroke available. They'd sell really well I think and open up a lot of racing classes, locations/types for the brands and also people who may not like or feel the platforms offered are what they enjoy and races or trails ect are what they enjoy doing.

Absolute great content

I race my 700 in IXCR and MWXC and aside from suspension/a arms, I’ve got everything done I could possibly think of and it’s a hell of a lot of fun! These 700’s don’t get enough attention or respect!

Bad luck with all the rain, pronanly would have placed higher!

Yamaha needs to put the tenere 700 engine in the raptors!

For the woods I like the raptor better! Mx track the 450 is a better jumper and flyer but in the woods the torque of the raptor really comes in handy! It’s like a crotch rocket for the woods you point and hit the throttle and your gone!

Loved it. Some impressive shots. What a rig. I already loved the htr tires. Definitely new respect for those tires. One impressive vehicle and driver.

Crazy riding, awesome episode!!

I was told my raptor wouldn’t keep up in flat track racing but I did it anyway and placed 3rd twice and 1st once, granted I do have the houser +2 a arms and suspension done by rocket ron but still showed people it’s definitely capable!

WOW this video has a lot of useful information and so well put together. I am scared to enter a race, but now i might have to with my 700R with basic performance mods. Great video.

I just want new sport quads

Most people (myself included) can never get the max potential out of the yfz or the raptor and both machines are faster than the average rider will ever be. Unless your name is Brycen Neal or Walker Fowler either machine will serve its purpose out of the box. You guys absolutely nailed this build for a gncc circuit! Ultimately unless you are a pro chasing points get what’s comfortable and confidence inducing and have fun whether it’s a yfz or raptor the name of the game is fun!

The raptor has proven itself in the desert time and time again at the dakar. I would love for yamaha to release a higher cc yfzr similar to how ktm did back in the day with the 505. The raptor is cool, and Im more than stoked they have options. But as someone who rides mostly mx, the raptor just isint nearly as comfortable in that setting.

I still don't think it can be a competitive woods racer lol.

Have owned a YFZ in the past and currently own a 22’ Raptor 700R. Best do-it-all sport quad of all time.

cool for somebody else . ill stick with my 450 and 250 because of handling for a racer my size . i do like the revers though lol . not a bad bike at all , the 450 just handles better . the plus side of the raptor is the revers

👍👍👍
