Key Features:
New piggyback front shocks with high- and low-speed compression adjustment, just like the mighty YFZ450, for greater tunability.

Raptor 700R is designed to dominate in the widest range of riding environments, from tight woods to desert to dunes.

A 686cc Yamaha fuel-injected engine makes this the most powerful Yamaha sport ATV ever, with big torque right off idle transitioning into a fat midrange and monstrous top end.

Yamaha fuel injection means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.

Hybrid steel and aluminum frame with a Controlled Fill aluminum subframe and cast swingarm pivot combine to produce a super-strong structure and the lightest ATV in its class.

Aggressive styling reflects Raptor 700R’s intent, and YFZ-inspired handling means it walks the walk, too.

Long-travel suspension—9.1 inches front, 10.1 rear—a cush seat and excellent ergonomics make the Raptor 700R comfortable to ride hard all day long.

They handle great. You can also get yourself a set of street radials. Even with the knobbies, the Raptor handles perfect on the street. You can drift the back end going through corners. Even when we make the transition to the street in between trails, the ATV's are a hard match for the dirtbikes. My YZ250 has great handling but has a hard time keeping up. Remember 700cc. big difference.

Well that one is for sale also. The one i mentioned above is a 450, The Raptor with the model on it is a 700. I think the owner for the 700 is asking 8k or best offer with all the upgrades included. Im sure he's willing to go lower in price.
