Hey guys i was out at the track the other day and this guy had a brand new yfz 450 and we raced i have a 2003 moded raptor! he let me ride it and it was not as good as i thought it would be!

 

Did you race him with your Raptor? Or was he still breaking it in?

 

I just re-read your post, so you did race, but you didn't say who won? How long has he had it, and is it already broke in? Once he pulls off the airbox lid, pipes and jets it, it should be very impressive, with just those small mods.

 

I won and he had over 20 hours on it by the way and we draged i the yfz needs a few mods before it will keep up with a raptor

 

By how many quad lengths? Is he an experienced rider? Not to mention that your Raptor is heavily modded, as your description says.

 

You must have one heck of a Raptor. My friend and I have the first 2 YFZ's in the Toledo area and we blew the doors of a piped Raptor today. (consistently)

 

I really don't believe a raptor can take this new YFZ. This thing wieghs close to nothing and has the fast revvin HI rpm motor off the Dirt Bike and your sayin that this heavy raptor can take it. Not Only does it have Better shocks But also a better airbox than the raptor. All this adds to the performance of that thing. I think it will be the thing to have and will beat everything out there for this moment. But I am ready to see the tests on the thing. I am interested in the handlin of it hopefully won't be top Heavy like the raptor. Well that is my opinion later.

 

Hey ridley I don't want to start another fight but I'm 15 and look what I own...... Don't judge all 15 year olds.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It don't mean I can't ride either....

 

I am 15 too, soon to be 16, some kids are great guys and some old guys are idiots.

That is a fact, too, not an opinion.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I do not buy that story. I would be hard to have 20 hours on it already to begin with. lol I saw one 450 today with minutes laying the stomp down on quads that dyno 40 hp today on a dyno jet dyno. There are no 50hp raptors out there with pipe/filter either.

The 450 is going to be a great quad but i do not see it running with the fast built big bores. A 2mm bore, cams,piston,port polish may break 50 hp barely. I am sure trinity will built some 70hp ones though
