2009 Yamaha YFZ450R First Ride
….Yamaha?s been a leader in the ATV industry since back in the early ?80s when ATVs didn't have quite as many wheels. With models like the YFZ450 and Raptor 660, the Tuning Fork crew has built machines to fill market voids. Since releasing the original YFZ450 in 2004, Yamaha has only done a handful of tweaks…
2001 Cagiva Raptor
…muscle would match the style. Cagiva clearly wants the best of both worlds and it's pretty obvious they achieved their goal with the Raptor. In some ways the Cagiva Raptors could be called the new Rickmans, these were superbikes built in the UK in the Seventies that used a trick frame made from Reynolds…
2004 Yamaha YFZ450
…ATVs consisted of old-tech, bike-engined quads such as the Banshee, introduced in 1987 and stuffed full of an RZ350's howling 2-stroke Twin, and the Raptor, powered by a 660cc Single first seen on these shores in 1996 powering the MZ streetbike line. The Tuning Fork factory wasn't alone in the tradition…
Memorable MC Cagiva Raptor 1000
…which was MV Agusta. MV gobbled up investment, factory space and engineering time whilst Raptor production lurched on inconsistently with poor supplies of bikes and spares to dealers.Now, the last few Raptors are being discounted from dealers' showrooms - a sad end to what should have been one of the…
Backroad Ramblings February 2007
…back in 2001 when the AMA took notice to the re-emergence of the sport/ performance class through models such as the Bombardier DS650, the Yamaha Raptor 660, and the Suzuki LTZ-400. With stock equipment gracing dealership floors, it wasn't long before the extinguished embers of the quad race scene began…
Lead Ban Stops Youth ATV and Motorcycle Sales
…Yamaha?s approach like this. ?We at Yamaha sent a release to our dealers this week asking them to stop selling any current or old TT-R50, TW50 and Raptor 50 models after February 10th when the law takes effect. Anything currently in the pipeline for those models will not be allowed to be sold after that…
2004 Kawasaki V-Force
…which makes sense considering the KFX tips the scales at a portly 516 lbs. In all fairness to the Kawi, it's lighter than its rivals, the Yamaha Raptor and the Bombardier DS650, by 46 and 118 lbs, respectively. The weight is noticeable when attempting to muscle the quad around. Where lighter, manual…
2005 MZ660 Baghira
…5-valve motor. Sounds familiar doesn't it? That's because it's the same motor Yamaha has been using for a long time, most recently in its popular Raptor ATV. MZ claims the Baghira produces a surprising 50 hp at 6500 rpm. The reason it comes as a surprise was that it does not feel that strong. In OEM…
2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS ATV Test
…aggressive rider who rides where the ground is just as aggressive and challenging. At $7399 its in the ballpark with all of the 450s, ties with Yamaha's Raptor, and is hundreds less than other IRS-equipped sports. For its not-so-specialized niche, that's a good place to be.Let us know what you think about…
2007 Supersport Shootout V
…exact 67.0mm x 42.5mm bore and stroke the other three 600s use. I perceived the new ZX to be the best handling Kawasaki I've ever sampled (a Muzzy Raptor was close). Evidence of its capability has begun to come in the form of manufacturer win advertisements. First there was Fabien Foret's victory aboard…
