Yamaha Atvs:
YFZ450
Very simply, the YFZ450 is the most competition-ready production ATV that’s ever been built, and the winner of just about every major magazine shootout.**
“The YFZ is the best sport quad that has ever been made.” ATV Rider, 2004
“the Yamaha YFZ450 is at the top of the high-performance class.” Dirt Wheels, 2004
Not only is the hybrid 439cc DOHC titanium-valved five-speed engine far superior to anything that's come before, at 350 pounds, the YFZ450 is endowed with the highest power-to-weight ratio of any four-stroke ATV ever built.
Yes, it even has electric start, and when you open the 39mm Keihin carburetor all the way, you'll also appreciate the lowest center of gravity in the class and the latest industry-leading suspension technology.
The Special Edition model adds a sportier, more menacing edge with a black frame, yellow bodywork with black accents.
But we’re just getting warmed up here, so why don’t you visit the Features & Benefits page to get a closer look at the YFZ450's list of incredible features.
It's simple. You'll either be riding a YFZ450 this season or trying to catch up to one.
Banshee
Presenting the Four-Wheeled Adrenaline Rush.
There will never be another ATV quite like the Banshee - that wailing two-stroke twin party animal of an engine is unique in the world of ATVs.
Housing the industry's most distinctive sport ATV powerplant, a one-of-a-kind liquid-cooled, 350cc, 2-stroke with twin cylinders, twin carbs and dual exhaust delivering mind-bending acceleration, this wicked flyer absolutely smokes everybody in its class.
And it carves a few circles around them, too, while it's at it, thanks to these attributes -
- Lightning-quick steering
- Adjustable, competition-spec suspension
- 31.5" seat height
- Triple disc brakes
- Lightweight alloy wheels
- Low-profile tires
... all add up to incredible maneuverability and speed. And there's so much more!
Special-Edition livery dials up the finish with all black bodywork, black front shock springs, and completely black-finished chassis componentry.
Raptor 660
Let's Talk Torquey
Finesse is good, brute strength is often even better. That’s when you bust out the 660R Raptor.
Its big 660cc, liquid-cooled, five-valve SOHC engine starts laying down thick power right off idle and doesn’t let up until 9,000 rpm – the kind of instant power that gets you out of tight corners and up gnarly hills with authority.
The rest of the 660R Raptor is also built to thrive on abuse -
- New for 2005 - YFZ footpegs
- New for 2005 - Convenient parking brake
- Long-travel, adjustable suspension
- Strong yet lightweight frame
A comfortable YZ-style seat is up for aggressive riding or all-day cruising, while reverse and electric starting also conserve energy during those long days kicking trail.
The 2005 Special-Edition model (pictured to the lower left) adds a sportier, more menacing edge with a silver frame, dark grey bodywork with grey camo accents.

Grizzly 660
Everything In the Forest Trembles
The Grizzly 660 may be the toughest, number-one-selling, big-bore ATV out there, but its pleasant disposition might surprise you.
Long-travel four-wheel independent suspension, a full-size chassis, 12-function LCD instrumentation, an all day-comfortable seat and plenty of effortless full-auto power render it almost luxuriously plush - not too plush, though, to have been named Hunting Illustrated magazine's ATV of the Year.
Watch the teeth: powerful 660cc five-valve engine, Ultramaticâ„¢ transmission, Diff Lock with Override and 11.8-inch ground clearance mean this bear can outrun almost anything. Not that it needs to.
Add to the roster of features -
- Triple hydraulic disc brakes with front and rear independent controls
- Sturdy, powdercoated, wrinkle-finish steel front and rear racks
- Electric start with backup recoil starter
- Standard hitch with 1,212-pound capacity
- Winch mounting tabs
And, of course, these hot features are included on the Metalic Black, 2005 Special Edition Grizzly 660.
But we’re just getting warmed up here, so why don’t you visit the Features & Benefits page to get a closer look at the Grizzly 660’s list of incredible features. Rest assured, you won’t find a more capable — or better-looking — ATV anywhere on earth.
