Im getting a new atv next month. All I will ride is sand. Im 6'3" 220. I was looking at the YFZ450 and the TRx450. Which is best for the sand.

Either machine will handle its own and do it very well in the sand.

Either one. You will probably be a little cramped.

I agree with the others look at something with a lil more leg room for yourself. a ds or a raptor would be a lil more comfortable with someone your height.

Yea, if you plan on getting a 4-stroke for riding in the sand go and just sit on the DS, it's alot more comfortable than the other bike's and cost about 1500 to 1800 less than the yfz450. You could use the money you save on tire's, pipe's, porting, ect......
