2011 Yamaha Raptor 700R SE First Ride Photo Gallery

For 2011 the big-bore Raptor has an even darker outlook with all-black bodywork and subtle phantom graphics.

See photos of the 2011 Yamaha Raptor 700R Special Edition in action at the OHV paradise known as the Glamis sand dunes. Read the full details in our 2011 Yamaha YFZ450R SE and Raptor 700R SE .

The Raptor rides on new inner-rolled wheels.

Powering this beast is a 686cc four-valve engine with 9.2:1 compression ratio.

The 700R is narrower, has more rotating mass and is more top-heavy than the 450, which means it doesn’t handle as aggressively.

For a big Single, the 700R is very smooth thanks to dual counterbalancers and a 44mm throttle body squirts fuel into the thumping engine.

Wheelies are bound to happen with the torque-laden 686cc SOHC engine.

Camp Chef was on hand with stoves, smokers and ovens, so if you like to camp, hunt or tailgate, check out their line of stuff at www.campchef.com.

Bolting on the nerf bars allow for much better control over the burly machine.

After testing exhaust products across its range of machines, Yamaha has decided to partner with FMF exhausts. The mufflers and full systems will be available from the GYTR catalog with joint badging.

There was a Raptor on hand with extra GYTR accessories as well. This quad was also notably more impressive.

Both sport ATVs are right at home on the sand. Each is just as good or better in other environments like motocross and trail riding, and their versatility helps make them very popular machines.
