YFZ 450

i would strongly suggest the YFZ-450.. its lighter it has better handling. and really good for racing, better than the raptor 700 i think, the raptor is really hard to control

im not sure

see i go on and off the track but im not going to go hardcore racing but ive heard that the 700 has a front suspension that is modeld from yfz and with the fuel injection you never have to wory about jetting and a slip-on exhaust and a new intake system and take off the airbox cover the raptor is supposed to kick ass but i cant make up my mind i had a yfz 05 model and the 06 has 80 changes but im not sure if i want to get it becaues i have tons of trail ridin that i do all the time

u guys r u so stupid the 450

u guys r u so stupid
the 450 would whoop thay heavy ass 4 weeler
the 450 is lighter more compacter this means more air, comes out of the corner quicker, acclerates WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY faster than that heavy ass atv and is not as bulky
so it is way easier, the only way the atv could win would be in a srtait away maybe

Yfz 450

The yfz 450 is more reliable, its not as fast as the raptor but nothin can beat the reliability, also it isnt a slow bike it would be pretty close

Yfz 450 Vs Raptor 700

Ok, First of all your both right. This is relevent to the distance you are racing. Lets say a 1/4 mile track, compared to a 1/2-1 mile track. In the 1/4 Mile The yfz would win. The yfz gears 1-3 would easily take the Raptor 700, but then the raptor would start to pull at 4-5. The 1/2 mile -1 mile track the Raptor 700 would easily win because of the high gearing and the bigger motor. If were talking a MX Track with equal riders, the YFZ will win because of the lightness wide back wheel base, and its a MX Quad. Hope this helped you guys.
