I am going to sell my raptor and by a 05 or 06 YFZ450.How are the YFZ450?can a piped headrs,filter,jetted,piston and cam YFZ450 beat a piped jetted filter banshee?How are the YFZ on the trails better then the rapotr?

 

Lots of great info already posted in the Yamaha forum.

 

good choice on the yfz. i think that would be close. the yfz might take it but those banshees are fast when your drag racing!!! the yfz is not really better than the raptor for trails. the yfz is good for fast trail riding but it lacks comfort and reverse. the yfz was MADE FOR MX. literaly...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

stock for stock on any thing but pavemeant the the yzf will smoke a shee and ya there are awsome quads but they are meant to be riden hard with the mods u have listed for the yzf you would kill a shee

 

You will beat the shee period.

 

Thanks guys,I am coming off of a raptor.I beat the banshee in a drag race with my raptor already. would the YFZ450 beat a raptor with pipe,headers,filter,jets?

 

TTT

 

About the raptor.... i doubt a stock yfz could beat a rap with a pipe/filter/jets.... But a yfz with similar mods could do it

 

the yfz feels small to me thats why i like the 450r better because of the leg room i am a taller guy

 

The YFZs are great! they are really good on more open trails, but when u get into the bumpy stuff youl start wanting a softer seat.
