I am ready to walk out the door and buy the yfz450. I have sat and read numerous articles and oppinions and decided this is the one for me. How ever 7000 is alot of money for me sooo , I am reluctant. I also know that when I bring the bad boy home everyones going to have something to say "should got this one or this that and the other". So nows a good time to talk me out of a potinial mistake. Is there anything I should be aware of ??

 

What kinda riding are you going to be doing with it?

yes very important question..Is this your first quad??How tall and how much you weigh??do you need regulations on your quad where you ride??like noise,registration,insurance..What kind of rider are you?Do you just like to go fast??

 

I've decided to forever hold my peace...

 

I am 6ft ,210 and am looking for something thats a combination of a trail/track/and dunes quad. I have owned a 660 raptor and was some what satisfied with that but after riding my buddys yfz OMG that thig was HELL of quick and the part about it being uncompfortable doesnt bother me. I guess I want versatility and reliability.

 

I like the raptor better,because the yzf seems like it was made just for racing and tracks..But you have ridden both,so pull the trigger and have some fun [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If you have ridden it and like it for what you want, then thats what Id buy.

Way to much personal preference in quads to worry to much what other people think. As long as you are making an informed decision, it should be the right one for you.

 

I am also 6ft and 210 lbs. The YFZ was too small for me. Not good on long rides. Rap 700 may be better.

 

hEELL I'm 5' tall and 210 guess i'd better lose some weight:

 

Sounds like you'd be happier with the 700R.
