raptor 250

does anyone actually have 1 of these yet?

my dealer has not got them in yet, and im just wanting to see the size diff. in the pics it looks small, but could be large kids riding it. has anybody seen the raptor 250 sitting next to a 450? is it smaller than a blaster or 250ex? some real world pics would be nice. need to get my son a upgrade and if this is on the smaller size, this could be it.

thanks...

i should be getting my tomorow and i'll post some pics

it looks tiny, maybe even smalelr than ablaste, but there wasnt a blaster there for me to compare it to. anyway, its basicly a blaster from w/ +1+1 a-arms and a +1 swingarm w/ +2 axle (dimensions wise) even tho it looks small, i couldnt get my knees to hit the front fenders like i could on my blaster, and the steering stem might be a tad taller also.

i seen one at my local dealer it looks about the same size of a blaster or a little smaller

[07250ex]

its 2 inches wider then a blaster

[bradley300]

all of the dimensions are bigger than a blaster, its 2 inches longer and 2 inches wider. it feels real comfortable, and for a beginner, the motor is real nice and smooth-imagine a 300ex motor in a blaster frame, and thats pretty much what you have here

dang that looks real sweet. what are your plans for it?

thanks bradley....looks good. i really need to see in person. it looks like it sits alot lower than a 250ex

[bradley300]

it has 19 inch rear tires on it stock, what you see in the pic are 22 inch fronts and 20 inch rears. it should sit the same height as a blaster with the same tires. i do have the preload on full soft

everything, i bought it because my sponsor wants to make parts for it. there will be a set of 45.5 inch width LT cross country a-arms for it ASAP, and a 49 inch set of MX a-arms should be along soon. also a extended swinger, axle, shocks and a 300cc big bore, blade style brake rotors, stainless steel brakelines... all the usual stuff

i'll be racing it in the sport class at the GNCC's next year
