dude i hate to tell you but the 700 will not bet a 450 drag racing. well i quess if your on a 450 and dont know how to ride then maybe but there isnt a 700 that i've raced that even comes close to betting me.+</end quote></div>

LMFAO....

You have not been to many sand drags...The rappy will beat the 450 stock for stock in a 300 foot sand drag...Money for money mod for mod the 700 is a better 300 foot quad than the 450..but on the mx track thats a diffent story..

 

I'm 6'4" and 245 ... I just bought a YFZ450.

First quad I've ever owned.

I suppose it would have been wise of me to test-drive a Raptor before buying the YFZ, but I just wanted something that was light and fast.

I've only had the YFZ about a week and I've only ridden it like 4 times.

It does feel a tad "cramped" but each time I ride it I learn more about it and get better on it.

I saw there was a company that made steering posts 2" higher than stock, and I'm thinking that might be the ticket, providing it doesn't move the handle bars back too far .... maybe a 1" taller post and some of those pro pegs will be the winning combo.

Either way I just know I've been having a lot of fun riding around the hills and what not the last week, and with all the money I have tied up in the thing now I'm sure not gonna second-guess myself on whether or not I should have bought the Raptor.

My $0.02

 

thank you doyle. the reason for that i belive is because on the raptor all the wight is up front so when i take off agenst a yfz if they lay down all the power they got it seems to me they just want to wheely were my front end says down better.
