yes the 450r is faster than the raptor. when both are piped the 450 increases its lead.

Coming from someone that PREVIOUSLY engaged in the paper battles on this forum, I think you would be pleasantly surprised by the 450r. With the same mods, the raptor and the 450r will both be very fast. Heck, the Z400 is pretty impressive with a couple of mods as well. My personal opinion is biased, but I think you will like the 450r over the raptor in overall handling. However, if reverse and electric start are concerns then the raptor or z400 are both great choices.

Hope this helps...
