2005 Yamaha 660R Raptor (2005)
Let's Talk Torquey
Finesse is good, brute strength is often even better. That’s when you bust out the 660R Raptor. Its big 660cc, liquid-cooled, five-valve SOHC engine starts laying down thick power right off idle and doesn’t let up until 9,000 rpm – the kind of instant power that gets you out of tight corners and up gnarly hills with authority. The rest of the 660R Raptor is also built to thrive on abuse -
- New for 2005 - YFZ footpegs
- New for 2005 - Convenient parking brake
