2011 Yamaha Raptor 250

The Yamaha Raptor 250 may be labeled an entry level package but its performance belies a much more capable ATV. Read more about the 2011 Raptor 250 and see which ATV came out on top in our 2011 Entry Level Sport ATV Comparison.

Race-quality shocks adorn the Yamaha Raptor, making it extremely agile.

The dual reflector headlamps of the Raptor 250 will show you the way. They offer a wide spread of light that pierces far into the darkness. It was great in the woods but really shined in the wide-open areas like the dunes.

Of our official test riders the verdict was split. Some like the versatile and easy-to-ride TRX while others prefer the power, agility and feel of the Raptor.

The Yamaha Racing Blue bodywork really shows sign of abuse quickly. Thank goodness the One Industries graphics kits are available as a bonus for purchasing the 250.

We destroyed the Raptor’s stock plastic skid plate but were happy to have one to beat on at the same time.

This is a miniature sport quad so its low to the ground and stable, but it has limited ground clearance if you want to tackle rough terrain.

The Yamaha Raptor 250 has a manual five-speed transmission that works flawlessly. From a beginner standpoint, it still requires the rider to know how to use a clutch and it doesn’t have a reverse gear.
