If you can't ride them, you should definately spend a few minutes sitting on each one on the list. I DO like the Raptors power delivery and comfort. It just feels a little to much Caddy and not enough Corvette for me, lol.

the down sides of the ltr450 on the trail besides have to rev it a lot is that it is wider that all the other quads so it chould be a little harder to ride it tight places. in a drag race a ltr450 and a yfz450 are so close its going to come down to rider.

btw i dont like the kfx450. rode one and was not impressed with it.

I am sorry to hear you favor the yellow brand. I admit I am a Honda and Yamaha bigot. But you can't go wrong with them. I do not think you can go wrong with the Raptor 700. But a lot has to do with you, and your riding habits. Just how much time will you realistically spend at top speed? Most people do NOT go there. You may also consider a sport/4x4 like the Yamah 450. I was sold on it for my wife, but she wanted the Grizzly 450 instead because she felt more comfortable on it.
The big bores are much more of a ego thing... You choose. It is your money..
