Our sister site, ATV.com, is ready to give away the Yamaha Raptor ATV they’ve been customizing over the last few weeks.

They took a base Yamaha Raptor 250 valued at $4,499.00 and modified it into an $8,000 beast!  Why they just don’t keep it in the office to use for coffee runs is beyond me.

They’ve slapped on new air filters, mufflers, new alloy wheels, new tires, front bumper and grab bar, skid plates, nerf bars, new grips, new seat cover, new plastics, and more!

PHEW!  That’s a heck of a lot of stuff thrown on!  AND you also get a couple hundred dollars worth of Shift riding gear thrown in!

Check this machine out:

Head over to ATV.com for a chance to win this puppy!

2009 Yamaha Raptor 250 Review

Our sister site, ATV.com, has started up a contest to give away a Fully Modified Yamaha Raptor 250.  The 3 easy steps are:

1. Signing up for the contest
2. Follow along on ATV.com with the articles on the modified build of the Raptor 250
3. Take a survey at the end of it all to enter and win.

I did some research into the Raptor 250 to see what it’s all about:

• BASE MSRP is $4,499.00 but the one they are giving away is fully modified AND you get riding gear!
• You, the readers, gave it 4 1/2 and 5 star ratings in everything.
• Has a 4-stroke engine so it’s easy to maintain and runs clean.
• “It’s the best 250 sport quad we’ve had the opportunity to ride.” -ATV.com review from back in August 2008.
  
• To quote some user submitted reviews: “AWSOME!!!!!!”, “Definately one of the best Yamaha quads ever made by Yamaha.”, “ Yamaha did a realllly good job on this quad bike”.

So it looks like a damn good package you could win, it’s not just any ordinary quad.  To sign-up for this thing, head to the Yamaha Raptor Contest page.

Check out the rest of this post to see some details on what you have to do to win and also to see a bunch of pictures of the 2009 Yamaha Raptor 250 in action.
