Yamaha Raptor 700

Im thinking of buying a raptor as just a bit of run on the sunny days to blast about on but just wanted to see if anyone owns one and can advise if they are reliable worth the money etc....

Cheers!

Road use or for fields and xc?

It's going to be used on the road.

Better of buying a supermoto bike for the road or an enduro bike for some off-road fun imo.

There isn't a whole lot of love for quads on here I don't think. Off-road bike guys tend not to like them either.

I'm indifferent, but be warned that they can be bloody dangerous on the road and everyone WILL think you are a bawbag the instant they clap eyes on you.

If none of that bothers you then bash on pip old chap!

Well I've WR450s RM250, YZ125 etc.... And have always loved my enduro bikes but there is getting less and less places to take them off road now a days so thought a quad may be a good fun toy just to blast about on.

Love a road quad, there's nothing quite so brutal on the senses as quad bike on the road. Not sure what part of the world your in, but in the south west they turn more heads than any supercar. In my experience at least. And you can hoon round a roundabout with the back end hanging out at the speed limit. It'll keep you sharp as they do tend to pick out every detail in a tarmac surface, which does mean you get pulled about a bit.

Personally the Raptor for me is a bit of a lump, but I've toyed with getting one several times over, and my friends that run them don't have a bad word to say about them. I've got a polaris outlaw 500 that I race and I'm about to put a sportsman 500 on the road after it gets through it's MOT (now that really is hefty). Can't wait!
