Default 2006 fuel injected rapter

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.

fuel injected sounds more like a trail bike now than a sport/race bike

That sounds like a pretty nice upgrade for the raptor. sincityduner, what else did you see, any changes in the rhino, grizz, or wolverine
