2012 Yamaha Raptor 250 Review
Serious fun...
Yamaha's Raptor 250 is serious fun and is the lightest full-size sport ATV out there delivering numble handling and great power to weight ratio. Plus you get aggressive 2012 Raptor styling, class exclusive five speed manual transmission and low profile 19 inch rear tires for outstanding traction and performance.
The Raptor 250 is super light, but packs a mighty punch.
Featuring big Raptor styling in a sharp-handling package that's built to take on whatever the trail throws at it. The Raptor 250 is powered by an engine that feels bigger than 249cc and comes standard with electric starting, Raptor-style head- and taillights, a flip-type parking brake, YFZ-style footpegs and high-performance suspension. You'd be hard pressed to find higher performance or more fun in such an affordable package.
