6:03 ! The guy is flying. Great review.
My buddy let me ride his raptor. My first impression coming from a 400 utility quad.... it's a death machine. I want one
Poisoned Apple it all depends on your right thumb. It's a heck of a lot of fun though. We hope you get one.
Vanilla Gorilla 😂😂😂 thank you.
I got on my buddies from a Honda 250x and holy crap. That’s a lot of power. He’s new and got stuck in this hilly section and I rode it out for him. I don’t think it was his best decision to start on a 700, what do you think @atvondemand
@@ashh2748 he should’ve gone with 400 because the 700 is too much power. I’m 15 and I have a 700 but that’s because I have experience with powerful quads
The Raptor 700 is the first quad I've owned. Its extremely fast, extremely comfortable, the suspension is outstanding and its not snappy at all. Ive ridden motorcycles my whole life and utility quads but this is a nice change. Sure, you probably wont hit 3rd gear on the trails unless you want to send it, but you gotta watch out and not ride like an idiot. I also think Yamaha should bring back the classic Banshee.
I bought one last week and abosolutley love it. Will ride this bike forever
One of the very best sport ATVs ever made!!!
I bought one after riding dirt bikes for years. It’s extremely quick and nimble and a fun trail machine.
I put 22” rear tires on it and dropped a tooth on the front sprocket. I did this because we have a lot of mud on the trails in the southeast and the stock tires didn’t work in the slop.
Best sport quad ever made!
It's definitely a top contender.
ATVonDemand Do another one with a 2020 model and Rob Ray!
No the warrior 350 is
@@metalheadgamer5751 uhhhhhhhhh no
@@premium1188 uh yea it lives up to its name
I'm not really in the market for this type of quad, but you guys do SUCH good reviews, multiple perspectives, the right kind of detail on things, don't fluff the manufacturer, keep up the good work!
Iove my raptor! I need a power commander from my new pipe but it's amazing! Took care of it and nothing has gone wrong! Faster than all my friends!!
This is my favorite TH-cam channel and I want to say you guys really demonstrate what this thing can do. You showed it’s limits like 6:02
Great and awesome review and ride! After watching this video I bought a raptor 700r 2018! I love it! Got the big 3 upgrades also!
Congratulations on the awesome machine! Have you seen our prototype Raptor video yet? We are getting ready to do an install and test of the big three on that machine. We hear it makes quite a big difference. We can't wait to join you with some horsepower upgrades.
Absolutely love my 06 raptor 700r
Just got it a few days ago and it’s crazy amd insane power on demand
Congratulations on the new machine. Glad to hear you're enjoying your Raptor.
Im jealous
Ive had my 06 SE model since it came off the showroom floor and since then put a six pack rack, skid plates, HMF slip on pipe with fuel controller, set of 2" ITP off set wheels, put a 13 tooth front sprocket on and a trail tech computer.. with regular maintenance this thing goes forever, its got over 11,000 miles and counting with nothing broken yet (knock on wood) couldn't ask for a better all around bike!
The motor is pretty great for trail riding. If you get slowed down or completely forget to downshift it can usually chug right on up a hill. It is softer on the top end if you are a fast, experienced rider, but you can still go faster than most people ever want to. Did they talk about the mileage? It's pretty good if you're not constantly power sliding.
My dad got a yamaha raptor 700r recently. Although it scares the shit out of him and I'll admit I'd be too scared to even go near it 😂, he loves it!
We love ours too!
lol :)
I
I enjoyed my 660 I had set up for MX. It was a little heavy compared to my 250R, but I still liked it and I wished I never sold it.
Thinking about selling my MX 250R now as I don't race anymore after my back injuries. Sure wish someone would buy it..... PEP ZPS suspension, LSR A arms, swing arm, fullbore, bored to 265...
That 700 looks like it would be a good GNCC quad with a couple mods.. Maybe even an open class MX quad with a longer swing arm, wider a arms, good suspension, and a few other things
I wish it would sound more like the old Yamaha Blaster, oh how nostalgic that would be, that thing had the most memorable noise to it.
Tyler Young I know I’m late lol, but have you heard it full throttle? Sounds fire
2 stroke
Get a banshee or if you can’t find one that you like you might have to settle with a dirt bike like a 125
Agreed Tim Pettigrew I'm 240 lbs & makes a huge difference!!!!!!
Holy fuck you're a log
i just bought a 2007 Raptor 700r fast bike , Dro Programble Mod Box Performance, and a MSD Blaster EFI ,and a HMF pipe, Pro Commander 5
How has it been? Did you install the parts yourself or did it come like that?
+ATVondemand the cannondale had fuel injection and the same frame before yamaha. cannondale was a 440 with a reverse head design, the patents ended for them but they expired and everyone else took the design. cannondale made bikes and 4 wheeler's from 1999-2003.
Just got one yesterday
No way me to! Congrats
The myth...the legend ⚔
Im 97 pounds and I’m gonna get the 700
God I miss riding. Massachusetts is brutal. It’s basically a crime to ride quads here.
Vote your dumbass Democrats out of office!
@@DUNEATV amen brother
What if Yamaha made a raptor 1000 that had the motor from a Yamaha r1 super bike.
i would buy one. it would sound like sex.
would probably die.
That would be incredibly badass, but would never sell as well due to the higher maintenance/repair cost of an inline 4. A 650 or 700 v-twin would be cool though, the torque would be incredible.
Unless something breaks, then it's a nightmare
The population of retarded trail riders would significantly decrease. Im on board.
My dream quad is a Polaris outlaw 525 irs or without irs doesn’t matter but I’ve gotta say that the Yamaha raptor 700 is a really close second. They just really need to bring sport quads they’ve completely forgot about an important segment. I get that Yamaha still makes them but it’s not the same without any competition.
I have both, the Raptor is better
i got a hold of a local yamaha dealer asking them about the 2017 raptor 700r and it blew my mind when they told me the price! im thinking its at least 10k not even close
Logan Curry I know this comment is over a year old now, but I actually just started looking at a 2018 Raptor 700 and was absolutely blown away by the price. A dealership near me has one almost $1k under MSRP, and here I am expecting the price to be over $3k higher! Should be purchasing within the next month or so. The Graphite color on the new 700’s is just gorgeous.
i love my raptor 700 its the best quad I have owned so far its not so much for jumping mx unless u upgrade the shocks ect but when its stock its not bad at all there is nothing better then doing 75 on a back road to the trail lol
yamaharaptor69 While we liked Yamaha's power upgrades in 2015, what we were expecting was a 49 inch wide version with updated suspension. After all, most of the trails being cut these days are 50 inches at the narrowest point and many are being cut at 60 inches wide for the growing UTV segment. A wider Raptor would be more at home on the track, dunes, and desert trails. Watch for our version of this machine in the next few months.
Guy in the red and black gave me what I came here for lol
Great personality 😂💪🏽
Glad we could entertain.
Nice Video, really enjoyed watching it 👍🏻
+NicoJay 4WD Thank you very much for taking the time to watch. Click subscribe. there are plenty more in the works.
Exactly how fast is blistering
Didn't do an exact top speed run but this is a chain driven machine you could conceivably regear it and probably get close to a hundred. Faster than you need.
How about a in depth review on the 660 raptor.
700xx for trails 💪
Honda should bring it back
This quad awesome i just got mine on Saturday blue and white 2016 raptor 700 and this quad is a monster and tears up all of the hills i hit haha awesome review btw i watched this vid even before i got it ha anyways its a nice quad I suggested whoever wants to get in off-roading I recommend this quad from my experience it has nice handling and awesome power doesnt have the best torque like the yfz 450 but the raptor 700 would beat it in a race anyways its a nice quad!😆
+760 Desert rat Congrats on the new machine!!! We almost agree with everything you said 110%. The Raptor produces considerably more torque than a YFZ. The Raptor doesn't rev as high in the RPMs but it produces a LOT more torque. That's what makes the Raptor such a hill killer. Either way, we're glad you love the 700 as much as us. Your 2016 is even better than the one in this video. Yamaha just keeps making it better. Thanks a lot for watching our test and for taking the time to share your experience.
+ATVonDemand thanks! and yes yamaha just keeps amazing their fans!
Would be nice to see a review of the Yamaha Banshee
that would be one for our classics series
Would be good however you guys make it. Love the reviews!
Thanks for taking the time to let us know. It means a lot.
That's awesome, thanks.
Shannon Rhoades the banshee is old, they don't still make them!
My dream quad
You can tell the young guy knows what he's doing...he uses so much Body English!
Please film Rob Ray riding this quad more!
Been on one since I was 15
Another great video thanks!
esto es vida me fascina la adrenalina lo que más me gusta de estas cuatrimotos es que tienen un motor poderoso pero un cuerpo muy controlable en las curvas y saltos
I got a 2003 Yamaha raptor 660 and its just perfect and really strong wonder how this one is???
Night and day difference.
No comparison, I had a 2001 660
Loved the review but, I definitley think you should do a review on the HONDA TRX450R. Unless you already have one, then please send me the link!
+Rabid Wolf Gaming We have not done a TRX450R test as of yet. However, we are working with Honda and are in production of a test on their fun little TRX250X. Point being. We expect to be doing a lot more with Honda in the future, including a review of he TRX450R. Subscribe and you will be the first to know! Thanks for watching.
ATVonDemand Cool! I really appreciate the feedback!
People, hear me out, especially if you are a rookie with quads/bikes and you are looking to buy one of these!
I wanted a quad for a Long time and once I got some spare money I wanted o buy a quad, some Chinese model with 200kw or so, just to drive around and get used to it.
Then a friend of mine who knows about bikes told me "Maaaan if you are buying a quad you need to buy THE REAL DEAL and that is Yamaha Raptor"
So I checked it out, saw all the videos about it and was like Yeeeeeah I'm gonna ride it so bad like these guys I see on videos.
I had it for 15 days and I had like 4-5 rides before I fell into a BIG HOLE like 4 meters deep.
I was speeding like a moron because this machine ASKS FOR MORE THROTLE, it is amazing really, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
While I was flying towards the ground aside my quad (And that was like 1 second, or maybe 2), the only thing that was going thru my mind was "This is it, I'm dead, this is how I die"
Luckily I just had a totally destroyed knee and I am still recovering, it was 2.5 years ago. It will never recover to how it used to be, but I am really grateful to God that it was just a knee, I'm happy to be alive :)
You need to hear this also, just to think thru if you still want to buy a monster like Raptor and don't have much experience.
After the first operation, witch took place 10 days after fall I spent 3 months in bed, laying on my back because I couldn't move to side, not to mention stomach. First month I had to take a pee in bed, in medical bottle because I couldn't go to bathroom!!!
You think that this corona lockdown was bad, just imagine spending all of that time in bed, unable to do anything on your own, you would literally die if you don't have someone to look after you :D
Months and months of therapy and walking with help of those hand sticks and to cut the already long story short, I got to just one conclusion - IT WAS TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT. :D :D And thank you God for helping me in that situation
Ray is a beast
I wish I could have one even if it would be the yfz 450
I have a 2020 I love it
Awesome unit!
That's superb good bike indeed
Rob Ray is a bad ass
rhino250r he's a great person too. we all love that guy.
Getting mines soon as I move end of the year...unless the dealer wants to make me a deal I can't let go...
Minus31 Hope it works out. See you on the trail.
Just got a 2020 yesterday
Cool ride
I would love one of this
How does it compared to a renegade 800 Canam in the woods? I used to have one and it was powerful but heavy in turns.
You guys forgot about the ds650
i rode a 2013 raptor 700r today and i have to say it would probably beat my 06 predator 500. my predator is heavier and not as snappy. in a race i think it all depends on the rider.
yfz and raptors are cool and all but I’ll stick with my banshee 😂
We've loved the Banshees we've owned through the years. They were fast but they just don't handle and aren't as comfortable through. Maybe we will review one in the future. They're such a thrill to ride.
ATVonDemand I agree with that, the banshee is waay over powered for its handling capabilities but once you put some after market suspension and other bits and pieces it becomes a handling beast!. But that would be awesome if you do a video on the history of banshees, there’s nothing on TH-cam about them
@@Snags243Yamaha should bring back an updated version of the banshee and Honda the TRX 250r
Does GYTR EXHAUST system damage the back pressure or not
Well considering that the entire point of an aftermarket exhaust is to flow better... i guess? You worded that funny.
one thing the 700R is horrible at is doing big jumps or just doing alot of jumps in general,
the hybrid frame is just not strong enough for that and will break at some point
We have heard of some people cracking their frames near the footpegs who do a lot of jumping. Our head editor did the same thing to his Banshee .ack in the day. Every ATV frame will break at some point. The Raptor is much more reliable than any 4 by 4 when it comes to riding hard. Bottom line, ride it heart it will break.
What quad would you suggest for off-road/muddling for a 15year old
+Wook Buster okay. Thank you!
+Wook Buster how is it??
+Wook Buster I just don't see a use for those tiny wheels would end up changing them asap and want something in a sport or sport 4x4 class that has looks and performance
+Wook Buster do you think the 700r se would be too much for riding around??
+Wook Buster lol true I'm just stuck on that and the renegade 800 xxc
i want it soo bad.
I want one of these things! I have a 2005 YZ250F race bike but I prefer quads over dirt bikes any day of the week. Anybody want to trade? lol. My bike goes like a bat outta hell.
I have a question can someone explain to me what to do when you buy a new raptor 700?
I heard that you have to do all gears at the same time so you won’t damage it.
Need help !
Not sure what you mean by all gears at the same time?
ATVonDemand every time I want to switch gears to go faster I have to clutch it the same time I do it every gear
ATVonDemand can you explain to me what to do when you first get a raptor ?
wooooooooow
I like raptors I had a 725 raptor it will fiy
what was that lever beside the clutch?
parking brake.
is it fast
Yamaha today is the only sport quad provider’s Honda ktm Kawasaki Polaris can am all the companies gone I haven’t gotten the chance to ride a raptor but I’m looking into buying one I road 450s but has no where near the torque of the 700 as a rider of a 450 I can say that they are more the race car while the raptor is more the muscle car not the raptor can’t race it just seems like it’s sits higher making have more scary in some moments but definitely seems like a trail machine more than race
We'd say you pretty much nailed it.
I'm 6'3 160lbs is this a good fit for me?
Yes, it fits taller riders well.
i miss my 700 sold it for a zx6r
+bananamanstrikesback XD Buy another.
ride safe out there. watch out for cagers.
+just do it Cagers, LOL right on, they can cream you.
+just do it thank you ill try dallas drivers are tards
i'm always telling my friends its better to take your chances with trees rather than cars. Trees don't move.
If I need Yamaha. atv raptor to Nigeria how much will it cost me to get
Quality atv but not a patch on kawasali kxf 250
Did they make one with an automatic trans? How does shifting work? Is it just a foot shift or does it have a manual clutch?
They never made an automatic 1. It has a foot shift with a 5 speed transmission and reverse with a manual clutch just like a dirt bike. OK so dirt bikes don't have reverse. Anyway, if you are interested in a sport quad and don't want to have to use the clutch Recluse is a clutch company that makes auto clutches For manual shift machines like the Raptor. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to follow up.
@@ATVonDemand I found one I’m looking into, but the guy said it has no clutch and it’s listed as an automatic. I can see the foot shifter in his pictures. I’m trying to figure out if he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about or if there’s something weird with it.
the raptor 700's engine is quite similar to the yamaha mt-03 2006 engine but better
Should i get a banshee or a raptor 700R?
Joseph O Hagan If all you want to do is beat everyone in a straight line, the Banshee. If you want something fast,with excellent suspension that turns well, the Raptor
Thanks for the reply i honestly am considering to go for the raptor as it suits me me better thanks for your help!
+Joseph O Hagan i had a 700r wish i never sold it best quad ever made hands down
Yeah man the Raptor is awesome had a banshee with toomey pipes and what not didnt really care for it. Picked up a 660 raptor man its a fun machine.
Get a yfz 450 there better bikes then the out dated banshee and the over weight raptor
I'm around 5,10 210 pounds would the raptor be good for me
Yes.
I just got a 06 raptor 700
I’m 5/10 198 and this bike is crazy buddy
Insane powwr
Whats the song at 8:46? The riff is pretty spicy.
numbuh1332 darude-sandstorm
like 90 mph fast
Now it’s like 75 stock 🤣
6:03 holy shit
Yeah, Aaron was ripping through that turn.
I'm 13 and hopefully going to be getting a new 2016 model yamaha, which is better the Raptor 700 or yfz 450? I ride on the trails and do stunts but also planning on doing some street riding.
i am facing the same decision. i am 15 and ride the same as you say, at first i liked the yfz 450 but my friend just bought one and he said its more of a track bike but it does have alot of power and i want a powerful buke with decent handling. i went to the yamaha dealership and sat on a raptor 700r and i fell in love. soon i am going riding and im gonna go pick one up hopefully when i get all the money i can for a down payment. but anyway there both a great bike. also the raptor is cheaper than the yfz. and let me know what you get and how ypu like it!!

I’m 16 would I be able to handle a 700r
Somebody get that beautiful young lady some grip strengtheners!
Preston Hanson Lol
I'd have been pissed if i shelled out $8k+ only to find out that the '15 had 10% more power stock..
Not a big enough difference to get pissed about. Modified potential is the same.
I'm new to atvs I'm 6'6 140 lbs I was wondering what a good atv for me is I wanna ride trails would the raptor 700r be good?
prettyboyzay of all the sport ATVs past and present, the Raptor 700 would be ideal machine for you. It fits larger Riders rather well. sport ATVs like the Raptor 700 are ideal for people looking to get into spirited, slightly faster paced trail riding where a light Exile machine with excellent suspension works best. for more casual exploration, hauling tons of gear along for the ride or spending a lot of your time wallering in the mud, you may want to check out the Grizzly 700 4 X4. it's pretty fast in sporty but a good sport ATV like the Raptor 700 will hide from most other vehicles in the woods. let us know if you have any other questions. thanks for watching.
Thanks
That's a good description.
Raptor 660 for days
Man i want one so bad. But $11k is alittle out of my range sadly:( maybe one day
hockeyandsoccer4ever $11k???they are only $8500 for the R model
hockeyandsoccer4ever wtf are you smoking buddy! their only around $8500
+Norfolk Southern Lehigh Valley Railfan in canada they are 11000
+jwsrules123 whats the price in trinidad money
I dont know im from canada and they list for over 11000$ here ( canada dollar is only .75 of usa dollar)
it seems like the people here know what theyre talking about so im going to ask a question and would love feedback. im buying my first quad ever (no previous experience riding) and im 23 years old. is a yamaha blaster a good quad to start or will i get bored of it because it's slow? don't really know how to tackle this. i have about 1200 to spend so i obviously cant get something amazing but i want to know what direction i should head.
The Blaster offered perhaps the most performance for the money of any sport ATV ever made. The same holds true on the used market. Try to spend a few hundred dollars more and buy a late model Blaster with hydraulic disc brakes for the most trouble free performance. Good stock power and adding an exhaust, removing the airbox lid, and rejetting make it a lot more fun. There are lots of upgrades out there, or just buy one, ride it for a year or two and sell it. If you buy a nice one and take care of it you will hardly lose any money when you sell it in a couple of years.
Get a banshee
Thank you. And Jacob I will most likely not get a banshee as my first quad. My best friend owns one and the thing is no joke. I'd rather ride for a year or two then get a banshee
Do NOT get a blaster. They are a kids quad made for little children. You will be furious at how slow and tiny it is. A nice 400 class race quad or a Raptor is a good starter quad. You can putt around all day long on a 4 stroke and when you get better you can give her some gas and have fun. I've been riding quads since I was a little baby and race quads are very tame if they are 4 stroke.
Schlomm you should get the banshee, tbh when i got my first quad after like idk maybe after 2 months maybe, you realize you want more power. And then you have to go through the trouble of selling it and buying another one.. just go with the better choice, and don't get a blaster.
We love the Raptor 700! Off Road Memories (Raptor 700 and Ace 900) th-cam.com/video/M0pGJQIVQvs/w-d-xo.html
The heaviest person you can find is 205lbs come on now.
+Tim Pettigrew Something to complain about huh? I'm 240lbs, I like it. Hope that's heavy enough.
Pretty sure the weight limits only 255lbs so 205lbs isn’t bad
I rip a 11' Yamaha Raptor 700. Comment what you ride.
08 Honda trx700xx
09 raptor 700 love it
07 700r raptor Se
2017 Rap 700r
huffy 10 speed
yoo is quad riding more fun than a dirtbike?
For my first ever quad can i buy a yamaha raptor 700r
It could be if you understand the risks and take your time learning the ropes. if you respect the machines larger size, the engine is beginner friendly. Assuming your old and large enough to handle one.
ATVonDemand Ok thanks but now i'm cheking for honda 450 trx
For a beginner quad? Do NOT get a 450. Sure they are fun, but they aren't exactly beginner friendly. Trust me I know, I've ridden a ton of them. Get something like a Raptor 350, or maybe a 400. 450's Are made for racing, not learning.
Why did Suzuki stop making LTR450:-(
It couldn't keep up!
Yuran Manguele The EPA got on them because they left the race map on the quad and made it to easy accessed
whats the price of the yamaha raptor 700r
11 grand
i got my 07 for 2400
bananamanstrikesback XD thats great.where did you buy it?
Dads friend hooked us up
+Super cat but we had to sell it
raptor world can't touch it.
2015 is better than 2014 because the 2015 has heavy duty suspension and 10% stronger than 2014 and 2013 race both 2013 and 2014 in the uae Alkaznah desert street 2015 win then 2013 and 2014
Feels like documentary not review
That was the goal.
I like more ktm 525 xc
