What is better a Blaster or the new Raptor 250 ?????????

[yAmAhA-rIdEr155]

I think the Raptor 250 would win in every category, but what is ure opinion ?

a pipe realy opens up a blaster and thier every easy to work on i dont know about the rap 250s yet

stock vs. stock the rap. 250 is better.

Can you tell me what of the GYTR accessories are available in the States as nothing seems to be available over here in the U.K.
My lad has tried 2 of the Raptor 250's and can't wait to finish the season on 100,s so that he can move up to one !! He has already got a Blaster but wants to get rid of it to get a 250 as he found them far easier to control and a more comfortable ride on his demonstration rides.
Reports have come through that these are a pile of poo, possibly on motorcross they are but I think for Enduros (Hare Scrambles) I feel that Yamaha have got the game sewn up for now with this model.
The only problem we can't get no accessories here, a friend of mine rang Yamaha U.K and asked about the nerf bars availability and was told they will be here in the NEW YEAR !! What is the point in buying something for Racing that you can't race until it is fitted with nerf bars !!
If we can get them Stateside then that's what we will have to do !
Look forward to your replies

A rap 250?

I thought they were 350

[jaksdad]

Thanks for the reply, I have already been onto the GYTR site, I assume this stuff is available Stateside? but not here for a while !!
Perhaps if they get enough feedback from this side of the water they may let us poor old country cousins get some of the 'bling' !!
:D
keep posting
Thanks

Since this year they started to make a 250 smaller raptor than the 350 but it was a 4 stroke replacement for the blaster

I thought the 350 was slow enough ...

[yAmAhA-rIdEr155]

the raptor 250 would beat a 350, the 350 plain out suck becuz of ther weight, honestly wat is tha point of it, the 250 would win in every possible test performed, the 250 has great compression, 9.5 to 1, the 350 and 700 has 9.2 to 1

send me s message if u need to know anything
