I happen to work at Mandalay bay in lasvegas and saw the new bikes, the rapter is now 700cc and fuel injected and the back half of the frame looks like boxed aluminum, the lower a-arms are gull winged a little bit, plastic is all white with silver and gray decals, the 450 has new plastic and thats about it, has the same graphics as the rapter I will get a closer lokk at it on monday.
no its not turbo, not according to the yamaha rep that talked to me for ten minutes about the rapter, he didn't have time to get into the details of the 450
That sounds like a pretty nice upgrade for the raptor. sincityduner, what else did you see, any changes in the rhino, grizz, or wolverine
