Glamis, CA (1/28/2010) - Yamaha
kicked off 2010 with their eight annual Special
Edition Sport ATV ride at the Imperial Sand Dunes
in California, which has become one of the most
anticipated ride events of the year for those
lucky enough to attend.
For the past two days, we had the opportunity
to rip up the Glamis Sand Dunes on the recently
released, Yamaha YFZ450R SE and the Raptor 700R
SE models, which are both right at home in the
sand, and we logged countless hours of riding
on these new Special Edition Yamaha sport ATV
models during our stay.

Unlike in years past when there were two colors
schemes available, there is only one SE color
scheme available for the 2010 Yamaha YFZ450R
and Raptor 700R, The Raptor 700R SE is available
in a White / Red color scheme with special graphics
and seat cover, and it features a wave-style
rear disc brake along with a GYTR front grab
bar and heel guards.

The YFZ450R SE model is available in Midnight
Blue with special graphics, and it also features
a black swing arm, and GYTR black front bumper
and quick release fender fasteners for quicker
plastic removal. Also, new for 2010 on the YFZ450R
is a remapped FI system, which is now utilizes
the same mapping curve as the newly released
YFZ450X.

| The
YFZ450R SE also comes with a GYTR black
front bumper & it features a blue
frame and gold shock springs & chain |
The
YFZ450R SE comes with Zues style clips
fasteners for quicker fender removal without
any tools |
As usual the Yamaha Special Edition models
really catch your attention with a great combination
of colors and slick graphics to complete the
package, but these ATVs are not meant to just
sit and look pretty, so we put them to the test
in the biggest sand box the United States has
to offer.
