I really like both machines, but if you are planning to do any type of racing, the yfz is born to race, much easier to throw around in the air, and the low center of gravity makes it easy to slide unlike the raptor. But It's really hard to beat the tourqe and soft seat of a raptor. Ride both and make it your own call!

I would get the yfz, and I might be soon. I have had a raptor, ds, and several banshees.
I like both machines, but the technology in the yfz is head and shoulders above the raptor. And if you are doing mx, it seems a no brainer to me, the yfz is designed for racing.
One of the things I like most about the yfz is that it sits lower, and wider and longer then the raptor.
There is my 2 cents.

Ridley, just be quiet man you can easily get a raptor as good as a YFZ... Ive beat MANY.. But for the type of riding your going to be doing the YFZ is going to suit you more cause its a lil more flexible then the raptor so i would go with it since you are going to do mx. Just Ridley im not baggin on u or anything or trying to start anything just be reasonable bro. Later man

Yep, it's a no brainer. YFZ all the way. For any type of racing other than drags, the rappy will never be as good as the yfz, especially for mx and Xc

I believe that the yfz would be well suited for you.........but I also believe that the raptor COULD be made competitive with the yfz in anything.......
