2008 Indy Dealer Show - First Gear
It's that time again-see what hot products we've uncovered at the 2008 Dealer Expo in Indianapolis. more
2006 Yamaha Raptor 700R - Long-Term Haul
We usually only get a brief amount of time with a unit and never suffer any of the oddities an owner might. However, for those machines we take home and spend a healthy dose of quality time with, we get to see the true personalities and uncover any demons lurking inside. Sometimes the honeymoon is s more
First Look 2006 Yamahas
The sport ATV market is alive and well--witness Yamaha quoting a 226 percent increase in sport ATV sales over the last six years. With this in mind, Big Blue gave both of its sport quads, the YFZ450 and Raptor, a lot more than just a BNG treatment. more
2005 Yamaha FZ450 - 12-Hour Torture Test
Before we start, we have a small announcement to make. Our illustrious 12-Hour event actually fell a little short of the full 12 hours ... it was more like a 1011/42-Hour event. Heavy rains and foggy conditions (to say nothing of flattened rims and tires) cut short our riding just shy of the 11-hour more
New YFZ450 Graphic Kit & Seat Cover Designs
Last Updated 8/18/2004 We understand that finding a quality graphic kit and seat cover that is unique and visually stimulating can be a difficult task. We at Adapt Racing decided to seek the opinions and suggestions of riders and racers in the ATV community fo more
Riding the '04 Yamahas
Yamaha recently invited us to ride its 2004 models at the Turkey Bay OHV Area in the beautiful Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Golden Pond, Kentucky. Since we had only one day to ride, the challenge was to familiarize ourselves with each new more
2003 Yamaha Banshee
There was a time not so many years ago that an ATV rider's choices for a high-performance ATV were limited to one: this one. The Banshee has, since its late-'80s introduction, captured the imagination of ATV speed nuts like no other. While now considered somew more
#4 Yamaha Grizzly 660
When the Grizzly was introduced in 1998 as a 600cc machine, the top was blown right off the displacement wars of the time. Since then, the Grizzly has been beefed up another 60cc--and it's barely in the big-bore hunt. This sporty competitor received very few c more
First Look: Yamaha YFZ450 Sport Quad
We had been getting the same questions for quite some time: "Have you guys heard that they're testing a new Yamaha sport quad somewhere near San Diego?" or "Have you heard anything about the new Yamaha sport quad with the WR450F dirt bike engine in it?" Well, more
#3 Yamaha Blaster
Hanging in the back of the pack with the EX, the Blaster is here for far different reasons. Far from the easy-access fun that the 250EX and Z250 represent, the Blaster is the more archaic of our two "old-school" models. No electric start, no reverse, a two-str more
Yamaha 660R Raptor
Released with much hoopla in the '01 model year (which seems like a short time ago), the 660R Raptor was yet another victim of the quickly changing landscape of sport quads. Sporting the biggest motor and a respectable weight, the Raptor won some strong suppor more
Scorpion Raptor Slip-On
Scorpion recently sent us this attractive stainless slip-on muffler for Yamaha's Raptor. The dyno sheet with it shows massive improvements to the low and midrange response of the big 660cc motor, with a peak pickup of 4.3 horsepower and 7 lb/ft. of torque. It more
First Ride:  2003 Yamaha Kodiak 450
These days many manufacturers are searching out the popular niches of the booming ATV market and competing with those already there. Yamaha has done just the opposite with their new Kodiak 450, they're taking their best-selling toy and leaving. That's right, i more
