Im new to this site and i wuz wondering if i can get some suggestions from anyone?

i currently own a 87 kawasaki tecate 4 that i got used when i wuz 16 now that im 18 pushing 19 im looking for somethN bigger and way more reliable
im having a hard time choosing between 660 raptor-preditor 500-yfz450 or a ds 650
im more into trail riding and stuff in that area. i have been to the dunes on my no low end tecate which makes it hard. so can someone plz help picking one ?????????????

 

The 400 size doesnt appeal to you?
What features are you looking for? Low end torque? High speed? good handling? reverse?

 

of the three you mentioned

the rappy for the trails,,,,it is the narrowest and lightest

 

the other bikes are nice too,,,,just not the best for tight trails

 

I agree you qould be the most happy with raptor. But you are in the yamaha navagation so thats the anwser you will probobly get. The onkly reason people arent saying yfz is beacuase theres no reverse [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

...if your gonna sell the tecate 4, i want 1st dibs on buying it. go for a 400ex. reliable, upgradeable, just and all around good bike. you also could go for a yzf, their nice, kinda narrow though(the seat)

 

i would go with the 660 raptor because for trails it is the most use full it has reverse ( i use it all the time handy) it's really comfortable and it has the power to open up if u want it to
it's not like two strokes wich want to be ran all out top speed all the time the raptor has the power of a two stroke but it can also have the power of a 300 ex if u want it to.

 

KFX400/Z400/DVX400

 

Anything will be better for trails then a 2 stroke... sure do like the looks of them tecates toguh

 

check out my sport quad encyclopedia, it may be of some help. there are a few bikes i need to put in later though, warrior/raptor 350, LTZ250, 300ex and 250ex, but i doubt you would be interested in any of those anyway.
