Im not going to be doing much racing, but i think the YFZ450 looks too awesome to pass up. How do you think the thing will do in the trails? Thats where i ride mostly.

 

I think it will do great on trails other than not having reverse but it's light enought to move around easily

 

I think the Raptor will be better than the yzf in the trails. Yamaha made the YZF stricktly to be a MX quad, if i were you i would go for a Raptor.

 

No one else has any opinions?

 

How can they tell you, nobody has ever rode it in this forum!

 

did you see the piston in it? it wont last long between rebuilds. Probably not the best bike for constant use unless you mod it.

 

Considering the size and weight of it I think it would be a fun trail bike. Slim

 

Ditto!

 

i am going to get one. i ride a banshee right now, so i have to be aggresive on the trails. the yzf will be alot easier to ride than my banshee, i ride my friends raptor on the trails and it is alot of fun and alot of power but the new yzf is lower total hieght it should not be as tippy. for aggresive sliding all over the place style i would say yfz 450 for less aggresive style i would say raptor would be better

 

cpcpatriot,
I think Banshee riders will be right at home on this new quad. That's why I'm getting one.
