Default yfz 450 or raptor?

I don't know what I want to get. I know stock that a yfz 450 will beat a raptor 700 or 660 in acceleration and handling. But with everything modded, I'm not sure. a yfz 450 has the 11.9:1 compression ration while the raptor 700r as the 9.2 compression ratio and a SOHC while the yfz has a DOHC. If i put the compression ratio up to 12:1 on the raptor would it beat the yfz? I'm not sure what I want to get.. soo yeah, someone give me some ideas.

it all depends on how and where u ride, the YFZ is more for racing while the raptor is more of a trail quad

If going to spend alot of time on a track Id get the 450.

If mainly in the woods go with the Raptor 700.

As far as drag racing its going to come down to riders and who spends the most money they are close mod for mod.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
