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

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.

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,

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

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

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
