the yfz woudl hook up better and handle better.......but the one I rode wouldn't bring the front wheels up far enough to consider a wheelie........
it just lauched like a rocket

My 400EX wheelies easier than my YFZ !!!

Thats one of the first thing I noticed about the YFZ, it just hooks up fantastic and the front end doesn't lift alot. Just forward motion.....very quickly!!

I have seat time in my buddies Raptor and it definately is the king of wheelies!!! It really is a blast at the dunes. I can't wait till I get out to GLamis and try out my YFZ there.

You really cant go wrong with either a Raptor or a YFZ. Although my buddy has an extra $4,000.00 into his Raptor to make it as nice as it is.

Take Care...............PH

The Raptor will pull the front end up at nearly any speed, but my wife's 400EX is easier to hold a wheelie with.
