#YamahaRaptor700

Consumers Digest has named five Yamaha ATVs to its Best Buys list for 2012 – the Yamaha Grizzly 300, Raptor 700R, Raptor 700R Special Edition, Raptor 250 and Raptor 250R.

The all-new 2012 Grizzly 300 was selected by Consumers Digest for delivering “… the well-known quality of the Grizzly line at a bargain price.” The Grizzly 300 boasts the longest suspension travel length providing the smoothest ride of models in its class. Premium features such as hydraulic disc brakes on all four wheels helped the Grizzly 300 rise to the top of the Economy Utility ATV category.

Featuring the best power-to-weight ratio among sport ATVs, the 686cc fuel-injected engine and overall performance of the 2012 Yamaha Raptor 700R impressed the Consumers Digest team in a variety of terrain. Also noted was that the 700R can be customized with a choice of 11 different graphic options at no additional charge, which is an industry first. The 700R Special Edition was selected as a Best Buy for its addition of a wave-type rear disc and unique graphics to the 700R’s design.

Yamaha is rolling out an industry-first promotion with One Industries to give new buyers in select states the opportunity to order a free customizable graphics kit. For now, anyone in Arizona, California, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington who buys a new Raptor 700, YFZ450R, YFZ450X or Raptor 250 model ATV can order this free kit here.

There are seven unique kits available for each model in different colors, styles and designs. Riders even have the option to customize their own kit by adding their name or race number. Photos of the kits and more information about this limited time promotion can be found here.
