Competition for the Raptor? Try comparing the specs between the Raptor and the Honda 700. They are exactly the same. It's an identical motor. Only difference I see is the IRS which I'm not to fond of on a sport.
And yes, my buddy is friends with the local Mazda/Can-Am dealer in town and he was told that in a few short years they will have the 1200. Supposably Can-Am wont release anything new until it comes out.
