Simple answer for me because I just bought 2 weeks ago.

700 Raptor

We ride mainly wooded trails.

I did alot of debating between quads and finally narrowed my choices down to 3 z400/kfx400, Predator, or Raptor

700. I honestly was leaning more towards the z400/kfx400 till I really broke down the comparisons of all 3.

In the end I decided on the Raptor 700 and I am very glad I did. All 3 would of probally made me great quads

but I believe if not wanting a track machine the 700 is the best sport quad out.

For trails it would be a raptor 700r. However now that I am racing, and doing at bit of trails I would get a yfz, and Im getting on at the end of the season, but I was really looking forward to that raptor at the end of the summer tho. But in a few weeks Im getting a ttr90 so I can wait till the end of the season. LOL but instead of asking us what we would get tell us where and what you ride (trails in NY for example) and then well go from there. It might be a majority of where u ride and not perfect for all. The yfz aint the best for trails, but its the best racer out there no matter of the ltr. IMO But there was some yfz getting kicked in the face, by a slightly modded one, LMAO. I guess I am a yamaha man. But yeah, so where and what do u ride.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]LIkewise..... Bought my 700R six months ago and was the best decision i ever made. Mates have banshee's, the new suzuki and they all reckon the 700R is magic to ride so i have no hesitation recommeneding the Yamaha 700R Raptor.......

I ride 90% dunes and 10% desert. I bought a 700 Raptor and am happy with it. Ive had a Banshee before, ported, high compression, pipes,intake, rejet........it did really well in these environments as well. Ive never ridden a YFZ 450, but it was uncomfortable to sit on at the dealership(or I would have bought that). From what I hear and read, it would have done well also. Just cant help beating them in drag races though.

I dont know what type of riding you plan on doing, but if your bored with your warrior and intend to stay Yamaha, the above 3 choices would be in your spectrum, I would think.

im debating between the 700r and the yfz450. i am leaning more towards the yfz but not sure. i ride mostly trails upstate NY/pennsylvania but i would like to get into racing. i also want a bike that is powerful and reliable but small and nimble.
i am bored of my warrior and really almost hate riding it.

For racing get a yfz, small and nimble, light, fast got tons of instant rev power. Great machine, faster on trails, but not as comfortable. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] hope this helps, thats what I am getting.
