Default Yfz450?

Would it be good on the trials? Or what is the deal with it? Is a just a race quad or could I use it for both?

If you want a 450 trail bike the KFX450 with reverse would be the way to go! Im a Yamaha guy but know better than choosing a 450 for a premium trail quad. Besides, that is what the Raptor 700 is for!

The Raptor IMO is the best all around Sport quad made! It is capable of doing ANYTHING you want a sport quad to do. The difference is if you are going to be mainly riding tracks you probably want a dedicated racer and that is where the 450's steps in. If you want a turn key quad to ride anywhere the Raptor wins hands down If you want a quad that needs TLC and one you will need to wrench on a 450 is the way to go!

Looks like a 700 Raptor it is.
Will it take a z400 too?

With the right rider there are only 3 current stock MFG sport quads a Raptor wont beat and all three have a KTM motors in them Modified I would put the Raptor up against any other 4 stroke out there in strait line/sand drag racing!
