dunefreak Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 A lot bigger than my 2005 Z. Definately going to take some getting used to. That's a good thing. The bigger size soaks up more of the rough. I love my Raptor. It's not a 700, but still a great bike. Good choice! Nice bike! :eatdrink021: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_burgh Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks guys...it was either the 700 or the new suz. 450. I liked the suz. wide stance, suspension, and you don't have to put a lot of $$$ into it to make it scream. Plus it jumps better... I chose the raptor b/c it's an all day bike and more user friendly to the 210 lb.'ers. Gotta good deal so couldn't pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_burgh Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 St. George wasn't the most cooperative dealer to work with. I drove down to Cucamonga Yamaha (3 hours from Vegas). Roc was the salesman, he treated me well and gave me a hell of a deal OTD. After shopping around for 2-3 months, Roc beat the lowest price whic was Parker Yamaha in AZ by $350. With more seat time, I really like the 700. It soaks up the whoops a lot better than my Z. The only gripe I have with it is its weight. I hope I don't roll it! Coming soon> Power Commander III. Best unit out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midknight Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i love mine pinned in 5th and going over them woops... so much fun.. but it is a little lighter then the 660... which is nice and they evenly distributed the wieght.. so no light front end... which meens less wheelys when un-desired.. which is nice.
