I knew one year in advance the Raptor was coming out. I was told it won't be the yzf 400/426 motor. Why I said?? because the motor is in such high demand for dirtbikes Yamaha would have to shut down the assembly line for the Warrior or Banshee. That aint gonna happen. Now that the motor is no longer in dirtbikes and any bugs are worked out this is the likely motor. It won't be the 450 motor for the above reasons. Quads get leftovers. A company is coming out w/ a 685cc two stroke powervalved motor at the end of the year if the bugs can be worked out. It's about 85% chance it's gonna happen. I know the builder, but I WILL NOT SAY..
