I'll be shopping soon for a new sport bike. Which of the three rates best in flat out speed, handling, trail manners, etc. I've read some real good articles lately about the new YZF, but I'm not sure if this will outrun the Raptor or Predator. As the saying goes, "there's no replacement for displacement". I plan to do the usual, pipe, filter, jet kit to start and possibly a cam and head work later on, but I'll be keeping whatever bike I get in mostly stock form for a while until my wallet frees up a bit.

 

u lookin to race or u just hard trail ridin or just fun stuff

 

Mainly hard trail ridin' and fun stuff but I've considered some local racing. How would you rate the three if up against each other ??

 

the yfz is the fastest in accelerating and is the best on track. the raptor is the best trail bike out of the 3. the pred is good on track but the yfz is better. the raptor stock is a little narrow for high speed turning on a track.
