nklr: help with atv's
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2002 4:46 pm
I managed to get some time this last weekend on a Yamaha Raptor 660
Quad/ATV. Holy moly, it is just like they took the engine out of the
KLR and put it into an ATV frame. This thing even hits harder than
the KLR 650. I was blown away. I have a lot of three wheeler riding
and racing experience, but those were 250R's 350X's and LT 500's two
stroke. This Raptor thing just wants to squat down in the back, then
catapult you forward at damn near the speed of sight. Not so sure I
want my wife on this monster. I wanted to try the new Suzuki
Quadsport 400, but they had not unpacked their demo one yet. It has
the same motor that Suzuki puts in the DRZ400E. Kawasaki offer a KFER
400, or something like that. It is the same bike as the Suzuki just
different colors. The Suzuki pee wee dirt bikes, are actually pee wee
KX's. This is going to be a weird merger. Geez, just think what they
could end up with if they merged the Suzuki GSXR1300R and the
Kawasaki ZZ1200R. Whoa there hoss. That would be one mighty machine.
Anyway, I went through the bike trader for Texas so I was wondering
if anyone knew of a good place on line to search for ATV's that are
up for sale, besides e-bay. Thanks in advance.
