Three hot new models from Yamaha to cure the mid-winter blues.
2004 Grizzly 125
Fashioned after the popular Grizzly 660 4x4, this all new, feature-filled, Grizzly 125 can be used as the perfect light-duty workhorse. The Grizzly 125 (two-wheel drive), comes with a fully automatic transmission (with reverse); electric start; front and rear racks (with an 11-pound front capacity, and a 22-pound rear capacity); a wide, comfortable seat; full floorboards; full front and rear suspension; and it sports the lightest weight in its class.
2004 Raptor 350
It looks like the venerable Warrior has finally received a major makeover! The all new Raptor 350, based on the Warrior platform, has quite a few new features. Obviously, the new machine takes its styling cues from the Raptor 660r. The Raptor 350 also comes with YFZ450 headlights; new low-profile sport tires; a new cylindrical exhaust design provides better throttle response and is lighter than the Warrior exhaust system; a new BSR36 carburetor provides improved throttle response and fuel mileage; a whopping 22 pounds have been lopped off the machine; and new and improved dual-rate front suspension has been added, coupled with a Raptor 660r type rear linkage and piggyback type shock. In addition, the footpegs have been lowered (by 20mm) and placed further back (20mm) to place the rider in a more of a "sport riding" position. Other trick features include the use of YFZ450 style 45mm foot pegs; a thicker, more comfortable seat; electric start; and reverse can be engaged from any gear.
