That looks awsome. It would be tough to keep it from getting scratched up like 300ex black plastic.

i was hoping they would put it in black. i mean the name raptor doesnt match with blue too well.

11-07-2001, 07:37 PM

i will never spend $500 on a set of plastic unless they were made out of gold.i could get at least 3 sets of OEM for that price.

you have to use the flexible primer additive. like they use un the rubber bumpers on cars.

They need a Black and Red raptor so it WILL match its name.
And they need a special edition 400ex thats black , blue .. or something in that area.

I have a pic of a Red Raptor if anyone wants to see it. I got it from the yamaha site when they did a color survey.

Looks pretty sweet.
I like the black frame and all of the other black components around the motor.

Would hate to scratch it though. The first scratch hurts the worst. LOL.

Yahthat Black is sweet, It must do at leats 105mph with black plastic. If I could make any color plastic,it would be Silver. They make silver for dirtbikes,now they need to make it for quads.
They neeed to make black 400ex's cause the black makes them do at leats 95mph.

Is that all thats special about it, Black,frame and plastic, and i bet it costs about 1k more too. They need to add a GYT-R pipe and some nerfs to make it special.

WOW t hat thing is awsome i wish they would make some plastic similer to that with the 400ex color wise and maybe make slight changes to the plastic but that could be pretty awsome if they did somet hing like that I could just imagine something like that on a 400ex black with silver highlights on it and maybe a little bit more chrome on the motor like engine mounts, oil impeller and the cap of the electric start i think thats what it was anyways.

Pro400EXC, mechanically it's the same bike. The all black everything paint scheme is the only thing different and it's $100 more.
