What type of riding do you do? I'd rather put some money into my Z than sell it for either of those. I'm not comfortable on a YFZ, and I'd have to put money into the Raptor's handling to make it handle like the Z. For acceleration and trail applications, I think the YFZ would be better. In straight line, top end applications, the Raptor would be better. I still say mod the Z.

lol son, look at my pictures(2 of them more to come), see me dragging up at armagosa..that guy is on a yfz 450, and he lost..he had alot of features on it too, so dont come crying to me about weight, i know for ever 7 pounds it takes one horsepower away, but also heres a little info....its 90 % rider and 10 % bike..so only one can make it happen is you.

I had a Raptor, Nice machine tons of power. I would go for the Raptor. Ds650 is to big IMO.
