We don't know if you can get around on a 2x4, you have to figure that one out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Anyhow, if you are trail riding I'd get the Rappy or the Preddy.

In that case have you considered the Yamaha Wolverine 4x4?....A little heavier but still sport, IMO.

The more experiance you get on the quad the less you will get stuck no matter what you get. If you've never had a four wheeler before i wouldnt suggest getting a racing one to start with. The only reason i could see you being dissapointed would be your inexperiance in riding handling the clutch and all. I have a trx 300 utilitly 2x4 and if im with an inexperianced rider on a 4x4 i can usually smoke right buy them.

Out of those i would pick the YFZ. But you should consider a Raptor 700. It is as fast as the 450's when stock, and it is still as fast if not faster then the 450's modded..

I have a Predator that I ride on our trails all the time and I love it. I would recommend the Predator since you are using it for trails.

Thanks a lot for all your help. i have a quad so i have quite a bit of experience and know how to handle the clutch. i like the yzf 450 but i with the raptor you have a reverse and its no quite as aggresive i believe. but i'm still considering the pred. one other question how can the yzf450 and the raptoer be the same speed if the is such a diffrence in the cc's. thanks for you help
