I was think the same thing.
How about a twin cylinder 700 or 750 Raptor. That would be suicidal.

suicidal yes, but fun .  I just want to see Yamaha come out with a Rhino 700 and a 400cc sport quad like the Z400, KFX400, or 400EX.

i dont think they will make any changes to the raptor but the yfz could have some better upgrades to compete more with the suzuki and new kawasaki 450's

[#32YammiMan]

why change the raptor? its only 2 years old and is the fastest production quad ever made

the yfz could use a makeover to compete with the newer bikes like the LTR, not impressed by the kawi and its too soon to tell about the ds. im waiting on the ktm450 to hit the track

[Eric5555]

BUt i heard that the kawasaki 450 was the best?

[k.p.]

the kawi sucks??ive heard differently. also i didnt know the raptor 700 was the fastest quad.how fast is it exactly?because i rode a yfz and it seemed pretty dang

[xr100racer]

sorry, kawi doesnt suck, bad use of words on my part there, none of the 450s suck, they are all awsome machines and i think its great kawi added reverse. that will be a big plus for recreational riders. But i like it the least out of all the 450's, except maybe honda    i was just expecting more from them since they came late into the game

[k.p.]

dang, which brings me back to my question "how fast is it?!?!?!?"

[novadave]

and in a drag race the Raptor 700 is the fastest production quad ever made, stock for stock faster than all the 450's, banshee, quadzilla, 250r, etc

The quadzilla was and is still the fastest quad ever built in stock form.

You left out the KTM OUTLAW.I love to outrun big raptors with my stock polaris.

[yfz122]

It's only 510cc's.

[xr100racer]

quadzilla - debatable that its the fastest production quad ever built, assuming it runs, and it would be hard to find a completly stock zilla to race - origional rings and everything. no doubt the current fastest production quad is the 700 raptor

outlaw - fugly! and no, 700r is faster. plus its a sport quad with irs

[Raptor700]

on another site they were talking about rumors yamaha was going to improve it's fuel injection system by using a closed loop system. meaning using O2 sensor and have better mapping for air/fuel ratio. Now if they did that...that would make mods very easy just bolt on your exhaust change your air filter for better flow and wallah the on board ECU would make all the adjustments.

[Eric5555]

But ive been reading these reviews in the QUAD magazine and it says that the kfx450 is the BESTT

If your talking about QU4D, I have that issue to.  They say it is a strong competitor... but not the best.

[Raptor700]

I found this on Yamaha's secret web files. maybe this is the 2008 model.
